Phineas Cat & Cat Porter

*UPDATED





It is incontestable that he is a wonderful Hammond organ player, but he has a problem with authority figures.

Update: This is (below) Phineas' co-cat, the wondrous conductor, Cat Porter. In his hometown, his name is a byword for surreal incompetence.

Red-Nosed Dragons







This is for a New Yorker cosmetics company and their new product for kids. I'll tell what it is, later. For now, I hope that those two green boys will do well at the trade show.

2Q3: Caspar Haidenstaadt, The Little One

And while I was at it, ...








I'm in my blue period. Definitively.
Well, seen as a building block - in the abstract - I'm in a red period, but that's a whole new ball game.

The chemistry just wasn't right.

2Q3: The Creating Dragons Formula




Update: The sketch above shows the local (in the 2Q3 story) UPS man. And a pretty unusual means of transportation.





This is an early character sample of Dr. Viggo Haidenstaadt.

I just found this old rough piece.

Green Alien



He is as stupid as you choose.
Update: Michael Fleming writes in that this is the look his son gets when he is chasing him. So, this friendly green alien is as playful as you choose!

Mary Ghost


This was just a quick sketch. (Blue pencil and a wee bit Photoshop for the hair)

Gavin, King of the DarkDucks



I'm the duckman (according to expert Uli Meyer), to cut the matter short.

Dark Ducks








This kipper is part of the StarDucks cosmos, too.
