Illustrations for The Archiver:

I am not by nature much of a gamer, but I am a big fan of the Myst and Riven games and own every version and all the other games and books in the series.  It's the only game series I truly enjoy.  In December of 2006 Uru Live was launched on the Gametap service.  I signed up and have been playing ever since.  I put up a blog dedicated to the game and for a few months religiously wrote entries and posted screenshots.  Through this I was asked to join a "magazine" (released in PDF format) that reported things happening in the game to other devout fans.  In one issue they began a fiction story and an illustrator was needed.  I wasn't supposed to be doing it, but something happened and I ended up doing three drawings for that issue.  Just after it was released however, the gaming computer I was using crashed permanently. (it's on the floor under a desk collecting dust right this minute.)   I can still get on the game but the graphics look pretty bad and my drawings just aren't going to be what they once were, so I have kind of lost touch with those folks and rarely play anymore.  But, doing those three drawings really inspired me to want to do many more so I guess they were one of the many catalysts to get me drawing again.

I don't believe I can sell these, as they are drawings from a copyrighted and trademarked game series, but you can at least see more of my illustration style here.  All of these measure 8x11".
