More Totoro Beauties ...

Yeah, all different, all inspirational, all damn good!

The Totoro Forest Project

The Totoro Forest Project is an international charity effort to save Sayama Forest, also known as Totoro Forest. This Endangered Sanctuary on the outskirts of Tokyo is where director Hayao Miyazaki got the inspiration for his much loved character "Totoro".

Over 200 top international artists from animation, illustration, and comics are donating artwork especially created for this cause. Find out more about the auction event, preview the incredible art collection and please consider supporting the Totoro Forest Project with your generous contribution!

Truly beautiful work.

My Good Friend Brad Goodchild

Want to announce that my good bud Brad Goodchild has his own blog! Full of great designs and characters. Brad can do it all: design, direct, storyboard,etc. a virtual oneman studio. Brad gave me my first break into the animation industry 11 years ago and I am forever grateful!!! You studios out there want the best man for the job, then look up Brad before it's too late. He's the best!!!

Oldie sketches

Yeah, I've been really bad about posting new art. Work's been very busy lately and I was dealing with some health issues, which are now under control. I'm getting ready to get my last sketchbook ready for the Con. Hopefully I can finish it in time. Thanks for everyone for your support and love. See ya soon.
