| Demon Dungeon acrylic on illustration board, 1995 A commercial art assignment for Musicland/Sam Goody, this was a CD cover of a disc of Halloween sound effects. |


| Steel acrylic on illustration board, 1997 For a time in the mid-nineties, DC Comics had a story line that had four versions of Superman running around Metropolis. I thought Steel, an armored (and literal) version of the Man of Steel, was the most interesting. |
| Below: Study for a Mural Design acrylic on Masonite, 1982 The year I graduated college, I was approached to paint a mural that would grace the campus planetarium. However...the idea was to paint the mural with paints that would glow under black light, paints that were the consistency of honey. Try as I might, I simply could not work with the paint, and I scrapped the project. |

| Right: Aztec Moon acrylic on illustration board, 1999 Sometimes I wonder how things might have been different if the Aztecs had been able to defeat Cortez and the Spanish conquistadors... Below: The Crucifixion of Picasso, or: The Revenge of Dora Maar ink and watercolor on bristol board, 1998 Dora Maar was one of the many long-suffering mistresses of the painter Picasso. Seated confortably on the beach, she and a few other ladies have their day. Here, I combine styles from two different periods in Picasso's career. |
