Hitomi remembered the awful tension everyone felt the year the census numbers showed that cyborgs outnumbered humans. It reminded her of the vids she was shown in school from the race riots a hundred or so years ago. The last gasp of White America as the dominant racial force in the United States, rattling its [...]
He’s totally hip in a non-descript, poorly defined way. Not a big story behind this one. Random sketch of a guy that I liked enough to make into a random illustration of a guy. ‘Dude Johnson’ is the name I tend to use for people that have no real interesting characteristics to speak of. This [...]
I was hired to photograph several veteran fine-dining servers for Memphis Magazine’s annual restaurant poll issue. I was worried about finding a way to make the subject matter interesting. The art director thought a “see no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil” idea might go a long way toward explaining what these folks tolerate [...]
I love Belvedere in all seasons. These photos were taken in January, March, June, and October of 2010.
The things random passersby threw into the gravel pit never really surprised Daniel, until today. It was a small box, wooden, with bits of metal leafing and darker wood inlay. It was a wholly simple and rustic thing, not at all what the groundkeeper expected to find in the construction area behind the high school. [...]
Some more Flash procedural chaos magic design.
Everyday it’s living, dying, struggling and celebrating. We’re finding ourselves, and Our Fair City puts on a brave face as She staggers along through an explosive period of change. http://www.nytimes.com/2011/01/28/us/28memphis.html etc, etc, etc…

We left our town in arboreal disarray. Pretty mess! We left, to the river. Woods that sing the air- oracle dog white-eyed whining (leave for the river leave
A resurrected character design finished two years later. I have a folder on my hard drive titled “In Progress”. Really it should be called ”Where my ideas go to die”. At present there are over 60 sketches and half finished illustrations gathering digital dust in that folder. I don’t have the heart to delete them, so there they [...]
One of these things is not like the other…
Hey everyone, I was out of town this weekend, freezing my bits off in Nashville. Because of which, I’m clawing my way back to the surface from an avalanche of work. So, no new Opening Lines this week. Instead, here’s a sampling of 3 Memphis Fast Fictions from my new project. Same method as my [...]
Many of you may have seen many of these images before, but like the dreaded “clip show,” I’ve gone back through the archives and found what I feel are interesting new ways to combine images that relate to one another. Most of these were shot in different places and different times but taken as a [...]
