I made a scratch-built steampunk submarine. This was a fun little project and a challenge to find parts that fit together. Took me two days just to figure out how to keep the propeller anchored on.

For Star Wars Day, this is the first “concept art” book I bought in 1977. It launched my desire to work in movies so I could draw spaceships and robots for a living. I showed it to my career councillor in college, asked how I could work in this field. “I have no idea” he said.

Some relatively recent sketchbook warm-up doodles with my trusty Rotring 0.9mm blue.

As a reaction to the terrifying venture capitol extremism, technological feudalism and just general fascist idiocracy, I'm just going to post drawings, mostly made with my weapon of choice, my 1992 Rotring 0.9mm mechanical pencil with blue leads. My happy place.

More Neverending Story: The Grassy Ocean village, sketches and a concept painting. I actually made paper models of these huts.

In 2001 I was visually developing The Neverending Story as a limited TV series with Icestorm Studios. We lost the bid, but here are some preliminary sketches I did.

Has it really been 20 years since I worked on 300? Here's one of my first illustrations for the film. Note, I kinda overdid it back then with the watercolour filter in Photoshop.

Looking through some of the work I did on "The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor" in 2007, such a fun project. Drew a lot on paper, which was a plus. here are some sketches.

Every page is jam packed with art and it’s a big book! Bonus extras like fold-out panoramas, maps, posters, and even a mylar blueprint.

New book just arrived earlier than expected, and it’s stunning! A beautiful art book for the extraordinary animated series:

Here are my favourite books purchased this year. I especially liked Shaun Tan's "Creature". "The Art of Futurama is a real treat as well."

New Year's resolution - post more art. So here's my design for the Nautilus, early and revised, and a mini-sub that goes with it.

Bought these gorgeous mid-century Polish space stamps from 1963 onEBay. Scanned and enlarged a few to frame and hang in my office.
