From the Archives: Loose Slender Zombie
This one is the first of a set of sketches I'll be posting that were done on 11x17 sketch paper. For storage purposes I had folded the sketches and placed them in binders. After scanning, I went back into the images in Photoshop and removed most of the fold lines, but you can still see the folds in a few places.

From the Archives: Vampire
Several portrait sketches for a vampire character from a comic book fiction I was working on in the early 90's. At the time I was very much into the giant hair. Here though I see the beginning of some of my later more chiaroscuro visuals.

From the Archives: Ghoul
Here is a portrait of a ghoul at night. Suddenly revealed in torchlight, perhaps disturbed during his grisly meal.

From the Archives: Heads
These sketches were all drawn so close in time frame, I decided to post them as a group. Seeing them all together like this, they kind of look like a gang of creepy demon goblins here to cause trouble for some intrepid hero / heroine. But who is their dark master? hmmm...maybe I will make these guys into a super villain team.

From the Archives: Rotting Apple Teeth
A sketch from long ago. A Goblin named Rotting Apple Teeth. He's a yucky mix of Blix from Legend and that damned clown doll from the first Poltergeist movie. I suspect he is involved with the frightening of children.

From The Sketchbook Archives: Sun Discovers Chaos
This piece is mostly about the strange creature in the foreground. This creature shows the influence of P. Craig Russell's art on my creature designs. The odd shapes in the corner were from a piece of plastic from a roll of over sized copier paper. I was determined to use it as a shape template, but this was the only time I ever used it. However, it did help inspire the Cthulhu style monster.

From The Sketchbook Archives: She Hunts at Night
Here is a quick sketch from long ago of a goblin girl. I imagine her with a singsong style of speech with very jerky body movements. I suspect she leaves a bloody mess everywhere she goes.
Her feet make me think of baba yaga's hut.

From the Sketchbook Archives: Strange Eye
Here's a quick sketch of a strange Cthulhian eye. I've always been fascinated / creeped out by octopus and squid aspects of the Cthulhian Mythos. My goal with this sketch was to explore some of the nonhuman eye construction one might encounter in the worlds of H.P. Lovecraft.

From the Sketchbook Archives: The Gateway
Here is another sketch for a larger piece. I had a vision of a large arched gate that a dark river ran beneath. My initial thought was of the Moon card from the Tarot, but upon time and reflection, I think this may be an incarnation of the river Styx and the entrance to the Underworld / Realm of Hades. Considering the time frame during which this sketch was created and Pluto's inevitable ingress into Capricorn (my sign), Styx seems very likely. Also, the two guardians are very much like grim reapers. Of course, both visions can be true. Intriguing.
