Recent cover with a preliminary sketch below.



Book cover and imprint design for 4 Elephants Press

Temescal is one of the oldest neighbourhoods in Oakland, California.


Above is the final cover for this novel. Max Lakeman cuts lawns for a living and has ongoing rendezvous with a mysterious magical goddess figure. His Dog tries to save him from himself. Below is the first sketch I presented and then all the component parts that make up the final image. The dog is my dog Beau - the beautiful stranger who came into my life 6 years ago.





Beau photographed from above in my living room.

Another one for the Salon des refusés. Didn’t work out in the end but fun to work on.


These are preliminary sketches for a recent project that didn’t work out in the end – but still fun to work on.



An account of the sensational trial of Robert Notman, brother of the famous Montreal portrait photographer William Notman.


Concept for a cover I am working on. The right wing’s opposition to the Obama presidency.
