A proposed title for this show “Kissing Metal” show. 12”x16” Scratchboard. 2023.
16”x12” Scratchboard Commission. Based upon an older 1950s book cover design.
This was inspired by both films of "2001: A Space Odyssey" and "Interstellar". What if Dave Bowman devolved and HAL 9000 merged with TARS and evolved?
Just a thought.

"Down with the Weirdness" was a large 16"x20" original scratchboard piece for a solo show a few years ago. The original piece was purchased the second day of the show.
I loved the idea of the driven mad scientist even ignoring the tantalizing female figure in the background.

"Hot Under the Helmet" is a funny piece in the works. Originally a 9"x12" image for a solo show poster.
Add a sprinkle of frustration from work and add color and WAH LA!
What makes this funny is that the black and white image didn't garner any feedback but the color made it pop.

"Mr. Spock"
This was an ode to Leonard Nimoy being a great character on a great show that encompassed TV series and movies into the 21 Century.
His presence as an actor, film maker will be missed.

"Satan's Robot" was as 9"x12" scratchboard commission to create a old school robot (not Robby the Robot from Forbidden Planet). I wanted to show the 1930's fear and menace of robotics.
Learning a new technique with scratchboard I applied it to this work and to my surprise, it incorporated itself well.

"Seven Ravens" is a story that caught my attention for a local show celebrating the Brothers Grimm.
I went with a lesser known story that included my favorite birds, ravens.
Originally a 11"x14" scratchboard
"Space Nubile" was a 9"x12" scratchboard commission. It is a companion to Satan's Robot piece.
I wanted to really make a piece that had a feel of a old Wally Wood and Vargas mixed together. The color brings that feeling out even better than I had hoped.

12”x16” scratchboard poster featuring Heavy Metal. Self-promotion piece for future shows.
"Spell Upon Richard Parker" is a colorized version of black and white scratchboard 9"x12" image of the same name. I wanted to adapt color to this piece to bring a breath of life to gothic looking image.

"Voyage" was a part of a Space Triptych Commission, The original piece was a 16"x20" of scratchboard. The coloring on this was nearly as hard as it was coming up with the original illustration. The pallet for the interior and exterior of the ship had such subtle colors I really had to make serious choices on what colors I would make use of.
Of course the ship coming into orbit of the planet has all the bright colors that any human explorer would ever need.
