New Years / Old Years

January 6, 2014

Happy New Year everyone! I spent a good chunk of the Holiday break drawing people and places around New York, circa 1898. These are for my upcoming story The Heart of the Hollow World. And consistent with this time period, Part Three of “Outlaws and Orphans” went live on the Scrollon App this morning! Be

The Girl in the Moon

October 21, 2013

One of my favorite stories (currently on the back burner) is The Girl in the Moon. It started years ago, as a screenplay. In the early days of Scrollon I decided to draw it. But as the visual language of Scrollon developed I put this story aside until such time I could do it properly.

Medieval Backgrounds

October 14, 2013

Last week I posted images of castles featured in projects I directed (or, in the case of Army of Darkness, 2nd Unit directed). Here’s some medieval backgrounds I’ve drawn. All of these are from the recent release of “The Curious Saga of No-One” pt 3 (now available on the Scrollon App for the iPhone and
