Reagan's Raiders

This has to be one of the oddest comic books I've come across. I was given this randomly by a co-worker, and had to do a double take. In all seriousness, it has a team of superheros, led by 40th President of the United States Ronald Reagan that includes, George Bush Sr., Caspar Wienburger, George Schultz and other Reagan Admin luminaries.



The stories pretty much deal with them fighting evil commies, and even mention the "evils of state sponsored terrorism" (though you have to admit that's pretty funny considering we were militarily supporting Saddam at the time as well as the Afghan and Pakistani Mujahideen), but anyways...
One of the stranger books I have (and, I have a lot). Rich Buckler seems to have been involved with this as well. Comic nerds might know him as the man that brought us Deathlok!.

Screening Room

A title animation in the works. Mimicking a bit of a 3D move here as to not have to build the piece in Cinema 4D:

Monomania

This was one of the first signs I was commissioned to do. I was interning at a sign shop at the time, and got a chance to put this one together myself. It was for a boutique in downtown San Jose that I'd made bus. cards and business materials for. The sign shop let me use all their tools including an overhead projector which let me project the design onto the boards, and paint.




Installation was interesting, but, got it up with no problems.

Mary Blair

A new project has me scouring old Disney designs and artwork. One of the greats from that companies history is Mary Blair. Her murals adorned the theme park, and her artwork was instrumental in the concept stage of most of the classic animated films the studio released.

Her work dealt mostly with rough brush strokes and and big colors, and had a very childrens book approach to it. I'll let the art speak for itself, but the whole story can be found here!.
