A few years ago I spent several months creating artwork for the Iron Man movie merchandise and toy packaging. Here are a couple examples using my IM illustrations:

Well I spent most of 2009 doing the same for Iron Man 2 merchandise and toys and some of it is finally making its way into stores. Over the next 6 weeks expect to see an explosion of Iron Man 2 merchandise available. Here's a few examples I've found on the web featuring my artwork:

Here is a look at the drawing for Adventures in Dinosaur Swamp. This was a blast to illustrate. I love multi-genre stuff, and I couldn't resist throwing in a pulp-era jungle babe along with the merc and giant power-armor guy. Fun stuff!

Here is the pencil drawing for the cover of the Rifts main rulebook. This was done in 2005. On the final color version (which can be seen in the "Book Covers" gallery) the energy streams/wisps emanating from the Rift were created using fractals in Photoshop.

Here's an old ink piece i did around 2001. It was done with brush and crowquill on Bristol. I love working in this style, but its very time consuming and not very good for deadlines, so I was never able to pursue it as much as I wanted to.

For the last 4 years I've enjoyed an exclusive agreement with Marvel Characters, Inc. which kept me very busy, but would not allow me to work for other clients. On January 1st that will change and I will be a freelancer again. :)

This does not mean my relationship with Marvel is ending. I will continue to work with Marvel's Creative Department and do artwork for their products and merchandise. I love working for them and they have treated me very well over the years. I plan to keep working with them for as long as they want me.

What this does mean is I'll have new opportunities and freedom to take on other projects. I'll be able to go back to my first love and illustrate novel covers, comic covers, books, games, trading cards, and anything else I want in addition to the product art I'm doing for Marvel. This is something I'm really looking forward to. I expect to continue to be very busy with Marvel merchandise, but I'm eager to tackle other other projects as they present themselves. Its going to be an exciting new year!
