The Definition of a Writer

November 11, 2013

Defining a writer should be easy. A writer is someone who writes. However, most of us learn to string words into sentences in grade school, so we all can claim to be writers. We could define a professional writer as someone paid to write. That narrows the field considerably. But within the entertainment industry, where

Not Quite an Angel

November 4, 2013

Part two of my story Nephilim, “A Bigger World” has just been released on the Scrollon app (available on the App Store). One night Will Oberon finds Avalon Lennox lying in an impact crater outside of his apartment. He learns the hard way that girls who fall out of the sky (and can rip apart

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.

Castles I Have Known

October 7, 2013

Tippi Hedren’s Shambala Preserve was across the road and we could hear lions roaring when the sun went down. When it came time to leave most of the cast

Advice for Drawing Snow in Los Angeles

September 30, 2013

“Let It Snow! Let It Snow! Let It Snow” was written by lyricist Sammy Cahn and composer Jule Styne in July 1945. This song has become a Holiday classic despite the fact it was not intended as such (it contains no mention of Christmas) and was written in Los Angeles, California during one of the

Constructing Gearlock

September 23, 2013

A few months ago I posted the line drawing for this image from Autumn & Gearlock, “Outlaws and Orphans” Pt 3 of 3: Here is a devolution of the image, taking you back to the original rough drawing… The first two chapters of “Outlaws and Orphans” are currently available on the Scrollon app for the

Dust Bunnies

September 9, 2013

They are real. I know this because my wife tells me she finds them in the dark and neglected corners of our house. When confronted, you can show them neither fear nor forgiveness. Make no mistake, their kind will multiply. Admittedly, I’ve never seen a Dust Bunny and can only provide an artistic interpretation of

Dinosaurs and Giant Robots

September 3, 2013

As we get older our tastes mature. Time and experiences temper youthful fancy.  Our outlook expands. When I was a boy I was content to draw dinosaurs all day long. Now I draw dinosaurs AND giant robots.
