The flying Koala showing off his invention.

One of my ideas before ever putting Sully P.  Snooferpoot into a story with my crazy inventions was to have animals be the inventors. It was kind of fun,  but I eventually decided I was not the best at drawing animals.  Plus,  there was no narrative,  just animals with their inventions. Fun,  but also a little stale.

Here is one of my characters after the coloring is done!

Wahoo!  One of the final characters after having been colored from my first picture book!  Yes,  she has pencils in her nose!!!

Little dog sketch I did for the wifey!

As my wife and I were trying to figure out what to do with all of the inventions I have made up (over 150 now). One of the ideas was to write a Shel Silverstein type poew for each one. The first poem my wofe wrote involved a pup. This was my quick attempt.  By the way, those 150 inventions are now being explored 1 at a time through my Sully P. Snooferpoot picture book series!

Here is Sully and his buddy Tommy putting their new force fields to good use in my second book!

One of my favorite pics I did for my first book!

This guy's name is bad breath Ben. He is just the right amount of disgusting for me! I especially like his nasty teeth and twisty twirly doos coming out of his mouth. :)

An Unfinished Page from My Second Picture Book!

This is my man Sully enjoying one of the many benefits of his new force field. This one will be colored in detail, and go through some more edits before final for publication. It was great fun to imagine this happening to me though! Oh how I would like a warm place in the middle of the chilly weather!

The Ugly fish Drawing I Love From My Third Picture Book!

No idea why, but I really liked this ugly fish from my third book. I think his ugly spots just brought it home for me. At the moment, the verdict is out as to weather he will be in the book or not. Most people, including myself, like his part in the book, but others are not so sure.

Here is the same illustration without the color background. Which do you prefer?

  Depending on the time of day, I can like either one! I think I like with color better overall.  Once my color artist is done, it will all be colored by the time the book is released.  Should be neat to see then. 

Page from my 2nd picture book!

This illustration is one I did for my second picture book. I was experimenting with just a hint of color in each pic.
