Wow. It’s been a long time coming, and the studio is probably about 80% ready to roll. There’s still the little issue with the sub-site that will be presenting the new comic strips. I’m primarily a print and pre-press oriented designer, so I’m having a tough time deciding what to do with this page. If you look at certain web comics, they tend to be extremely cluttered with all kinds of excessive elements scattered around the page. The themes available for these sites are also somewhat limited. I’d like to present the strip in two varying sizes – a “weekly” format, like what you’d find in your local newspaper, and a Sunday-sized strip. Here’s where it gets interesting.
I’m not limited by size limitations here. There are some wild examples of side-scrolling websites too. And while those are pretty cool from a novelty standpoint, I think the lack of a side scrolling button on most mice might kill the return traffic. If I decided to draw a comic that was 20 feet high and required you to scroll for hours just to get to the end, I could.
But I’m not Jack Kerouac, and this ain’t On the Road.
So while I work on figuring out how to go about this stuff, I hope you enjoy looking around at the galleries and, whatever you do, don’t forget to bookmark us! There’s a lot to come!

Ah yes. This was a t-shirt design I was commissioned to do for the Springfield Junior Blues a few years back. I was a junior in high school when this team was in its inaugural year in Springfield. I still chuckle when I think back to when we’d see some of those guys walking around with inverted mohawks after suffering their rookie initiations. They’re a fun team to watch play.
This was for a t-shirt design a few years ago. Goalies really are fun to draw. All of those huge pads, cool helmets, and crazy poses when they make saves (or miss, in this case) really offer up some prime illustration potential.

Along with the rest of the website, there’s still some work to be done. And plans are set. Sterno will be making its debut as soon as the site design is ironed out, but rest assured that when they are, you’re going to have some fun stories to read.
Just consider this a teaser, if you will. Don’t worry if you can’t locate the comics page – It’s not there yet. Down to the last phase. Almost set.

These are sellsheets for a client specializing in selling clutches, or mini-purses. His concern was to brand them as a high-end fashion accessory, so the design was suitably tailored as such.
