Shiver Me Timbers!

This is an illustration I did for a friend of mine who designs video games. He was looking for concepts for a futuristic pirate. So I went with the hook thing (classic pirate appendage) and added on a jimmy-rigged gun thing and some freaky cybernetic eyes.

Interview Pitfalls

This one still makes me laugh. It went with an online article about all of the things you should and should not say in an interview.

Best Job Market, uh.... nevermind

I got a lot of response when this one appeared with an online article about the "Best Cities" rankings that come out. One university even used it for a conference about the Salt Lake job market.

I come in piece

I know what you're thinking: "What the crap is that thing?" I was just in the mood for aliens, but I wanted to do something other than a humanoid. So I experimented with something that was really just one long limb. That green thing is some sort of plant-based communication device (to communicate with the rest of the hive, of course). [Note: no illicit drugs were used while creating this piece.]

The Job Search Vortex

This one kind of speaks for itself. It went with an online article about the futility of using job search sites. I just enjoyed drawing a big, dark, swirling hurricane thing. Ah, nothing funner than drawing vortexes...

Misspeaking

This is a web comic I did in reaction to Hillary Clinton's "misspeaking" gaff about her time in Bosnia. Just loved the idea of using the misspeaking thing to avoid getting in trouble.

Job hazards

I did this piece for an education website. It went with an article decrying the loss of discipline and control in today's classrooms. I love the suit and the round eyes peeking out.
