Illustration: Squid Attack

I needed to give this guy a reason to abandon ship. Generally speaking, a giant squid attack is an excellent reason to do just that.

Magazine Design: FLIBS Happening

I think my editors were trying to set the record for most photos on a spread with this one. Thanks to the miracle of path cutting, I was able to oblige.

Magazine Design: Dayworker Survivor

I was never a big fan of the title chosen for this feature, but the general idea of it was that five women of various skill level and personality all had to vie for the same position. Only one would survive. Though my editors see it as only one, this opening spread is comprised of no less than five custom illustrations! Had I more time, I would have loved to develop it further, but time is always of the essence and a deadline always looms in publishing.

Magazine Design: Drinking Responsibly

The sole reason I've included this feature’s design here is because I like the olive I placed in the "Y"/martini glass in the title. Typography is fun.

Magazine Design: Bottle Battle Feature

I had no art for this feature about the reliance that yachts have on bottled water. So I found myself one picture of a bottle and one picture of a yacht and then combined them for a nice ship-in-the-bottle effect.

Illustration: Retiring Broke

I drew this for a "Last Laugh" column which discussed the state of the average crew member when they retire.

Illustration: Cursed!

This illustration accompanied a column that told the tale of a cursed BBQ.

Magazine Design: September Cover

I haven't posted one of my covers in forever. This one is for the big September issue.

Illustration: Work Out Day

I think this illustration best reflects my views on exercising.

Illustration: Give Peace A Chance

In this illustration, a call for peace is made during a food fight.

Illustration: Man with Mutant Fish

 There was a lot going on in this column.... Believe it or not, the illustration actually captured most of it. On a personal note, any time I can pay homage to Blinky the Fish from "The Simpson's" I am happy.

Illustration: Chef Frenzy

Here we have a nice illustration I did for an article where the chef was up against the clock getting dinner prepared for the charter guests.

Illustration: Educating the Owner

This illustration was done for a recent feature we ran on the difficulties that arise when yacht crew attempt to train yacht owners about their boats.

Magazine Design: November Cover

A fine photo of the crew for the November issue of Dockwalk. Don't know about that helicopter silhouette on the hull, though....
