New Car Toys!


My artwork is on Cars & Trucks now! These toy vehicles are slated for distribution to the South American Toys Market. As you can see, each vehicle has it's own personality. I designed the graphics & the colors for the molded plastic parts. After these are distributed, I will also create the Online version of each vehicle for the Video Game. This was a fun & fast turn-around project. Exciting. When I finished this project, the Toy producer asked me for 6 more, WOWeee!

Italian "Demoni" Monsters

I just finished designing these little monster toys. These are small collectable vending machine toys, I'm only showing the first 3, but I think some of my other designs are better. Maybe they'll get popular in Italy & make it across the pond to the American small toys market. Fingers crossed as always.

Girls Hair Accessories

I did four design concepts for the Lisa Frank company, this one is my favorite. Maybe, I should do more girl's product development. It was fun. My 6 year old daughter wants a set, right NOW Daddy!

Yes, Mr. Traditional has fallen prey to the Anime design bug, too. Anime is cool. I think I'll do more.

My New Portfolio Title Card

I am on a mission to step-up my freelance list of clients, most of which I hope to get from Hong Kong toy manufacturers, I like the idea of doing international business.


That's Me in Swim Goggles



This is a bag-topper for plastic bag packaged swimming goggles. The diver guy is a cartoon of myself as a G.I. Joe-style diver.

Learning Software

Your standard ABC's learning software, but the characters & artwork sure do have a certain espirit de corps, If I must say so.

Chocolate & Marshmallows, mmmmmmonsters



This my design concept for a new and hopefully marketed, candy product. I think it has a boatload of potential.

Watergun BlisterPack Card



This is a Blister-pack card, for a watergun with the "power blast system", the silhouette makes the product appear to be "glowing with power".

Character Design Stuff

Concept Toy Design


This is a toy design that I have been working on. I have a phase 1 prototype. At this point, it is all very hush, hush. But at least I can show part of the concept art now. This is part of the initial concept presentation illustration. Not that I think it's great or anything, but at least it's sumtin' to post... keep artin' guys.

ScreenShots from the Past

Studio V2. These are screen-shots from them.
I did these productions with Animated Pictures, Ltd.

Sergeant First Class Firewall

This is my first rough concept of Sergeant First Class Firewall. SFC Firewall is the U.S. Army's information assurance mascot, his duties are to appear in comics & learning materials that educate our soldiers about cyber security & computer virus prevention on U.S. Army computers. They currently are using another cartoon, but this is my submission for an update of the character. More detail will be added to the art, in later stages. My fingers are crossed.

Little Piggy Sleepin'

This is a style-sample that I'm sending to a children's book publisher.

They are looking for that old 1950's style cartoony-painting style.
