Angel Battle Doodle (2005)


I whipped up this idea when I was on an airplane leaving from Osaka, going to Tokyo.

The Smoking Star (2006)


This guy's a character I have for one of my thousands of stories, Mike Dondle. A ridiculous name? Oh yes, but since I haven't developed anything in a while, his name it remains for now.

Little Masako (2005)


I'm not sure what I wanted to do with her. I doodled this sketch while waiting for my wife in Osaka.

Girl Cop and Ninja Nambus


After college, one of my roommates had a gerbil that she named Nambu. He was the inspiration for this illustration.

Yukata Design 2 (2007)

Yukata Design #1


Yukatas are robes, much like Kimonos. However, they are only a single layer and worn during the summer, or as bathrobes in hotels and hot springs. They're worn by both men and women and it's high summer fashion here in Japan. I have one myself, and it's crazy comfortable! Anyway, I decided to design my own Yukatas, but in the spirit of modification, I wanted something a little more interesting. Something with pockets and openings and other crazy things. This is the first of my designs.

MechPants Variations (2005)


I've been interested in the leg design of Japanese Comic and Animation Mecha for a long time and decided to design some pants that fit these molds. To make them would take more time and skill than I have.
