Hey ‘Rillas. Been a while - life got crazy! I’m finally getting around to posting work again, so here’s the first piece of the backlog to go up. Long winded writeup on the inspiration on my blog. As an aside, it’s time for a bitter-sweet goodbye to my old username - Dead Mellotron. RIP old friend, you served me well but it’s time to be all professional-like.

Hey Gorillas.. just popping in to say hi and post a little something I spent a few nights on this week.

Hey everyone! It’s been a hectic 2011, my head has stopped spinning long enough to finally post here! Here’s a few recent-ish things from me…

My latest book cover for the North American hardcover release of “Wereworld”, an awesome novel written by Curtis Jobling and published by Viking Press.

A personal piece inspired by various things including Obeah and Igbo Masks…

And a graphic I did for Whistler, BC based Chromag Bikes…makers of fine mountain bike frames and components.

Thanks for looking, everyone… and thanks to all you inspiring Gorillas for posting killer work every day and keeping me inspired and motivated!

Hey Gorillas,

Just wanted to let everyone know I’m still around, and I have been enjoying all of the incredible work you guys are posting, you’ve been blowing me away. 2010 was pretty crazy, but in a great way… Busy work schedule, busy freelance schedule and an awesome baby boy for my wife and I had me swamped. Anyway, here’s a personal piece I worked on for months in between work and jobs. A bit more explanation and a details crop over at my blog

Hi Gorillas!!! Wow, it’s been a crazy log time since I posted…I’ve been stopping by and checking out all the awesome work though - you guys and girls are killing it! Anyway, no one wants to read my ramblings so on to the goods…

Here’s a cover I did for a great YA novel from Viking press called “Fox & Phoenix”. The story takes place in a southeast asian inspired world where the people have spirit familiars and the technology is powered by magic flux.The concept was to have the two main characters and their familiars entering a bustling city filled with people, lights and magic and being a bit overwhelmed by it all. I had a great time bringing the world to life…

Thanks for looking!
