Uncle Creepy and Mike Ploog





Coaching soccer is finally wrapping up and I can take on more assignments now that autumn has broken.
It has been a while since I posted work as most can not be posted until published. The last few months I have
completed a handful of assignments for Fantasy Flight Games which titles include: A Game of Thrones, Warhammer, and Talisman. Hopefully I can post the images soon.

In the meantime in the spirit of the season here is an Uncle Creepy
sketch I did to possibly garner some work from Dark Horse. If the spirit moves me I may just for practice color him.
I love working without reference when I get the chance and playing with line-weight. You can see some of my influences
come through when I have to rely simply on my mind and imagination.

One of my most power earlier influences was the Mike Ploog BlackWolf illustrations from the Bakshi film Wizards. Any one unfamiliar with Ploog's film and comic work should take the time to google him.

I am also working on a Hammer Christopher Lee and hope to post something soon.
