Illustration – Natural & Digital Media

When I was young, some of my favorite painters were illustrators like Norman Rockwell and especially N. C. Wyeth and, who brought imaginary people and their actions to life, but I was really fascinated by reconstructed views of ancient Rome. I didn’t take apart alarm clocks like my engineer-to-be older brother, but I was mechanically inclined and loved cutaway views of engines and other technological marvels. Later I came to love the challenge of making real objects more comprehensible through the many methods of both natural-media and computer-based illustration.
While I really like every image on this page, I am most proud of my latest, poster work for Iolanthe, using elements from two favorite designers, Alphonse Mucha and Auguste Pugin. My only scratchboard drawing is the two-page visual exposition of cargo operations from offshore on Coast Guard Cutter Kukui, 1971.
