Working on ideas for stories or new books is always fun. But because the process of creating a graphic novel can be so time-consuming, choices must be made and there are lots of ideas that must be set aside. Sometimes working on story ideas can be a way to indulge one's fondness for certain types of stories that one might like to do, if only there were time -- some light-hearted, some darker. The first three images are examples of this.
The top two images are samples of concept art for possible future stories - done to help visualize the story and characters. The third drawing was a commission (a good example of the kind I enjoy doing) that certainly could be turned into a story -- perhaps a sort of "Scooby Doo Meets Lucio Fulci" thing... maybe? It would be fun to try anyway...
The last image shows a group of characters inspired by a book of short stories called "A Loud Humming Sound Came From Above" by Johnny Strike. The art was used for the cover of the book - and I did some interior illustrations for it as well.
As always, some of the art featured on this blog can be found here --
