The second edition...

SPANISH SUPER RABBITS 2013

My 2013 comic Blanco y Negro introduced my two Spanish super rabbits. They will return in my comic series The Amazing Adventures of Awesome and Oops, wearing robotic suits to help them interact with the human world. The designs for suits would reflect how each rabbit wants to interact with people they come in contact...

RED RUBBER MONKEY 2013

Red rubber fur, over red rubber skin, over red rubber muscles, over red rubber bones.

MARTIANS 2010

I let the story of Martian Debut drive the design of the Martians. I knew that I wanted them to slip and swim through the air and their primary feature would be an unusual-looking eye. Early sketches were inspired by H.P. Lovecraft creatures. They were too gross. Too many eyes. I settled into a more geometric eye...
