| Here's an overview shot of my main studio area. I've got two smaller rooms off to the side. Here you can see my drawing table on the left and computer workstation on the right. And a nice shot of the full corkboard wall. This is great for brainstorming and keeping things in sight like page thumbnails and character reference. | |

| About a year ago, I picked up an old pantyhose rack that I use for comic storage. Recent stuff I need to read and back issues of my own books. I also have a few hand drums and a foosball table when I need to relax a little. | |
|
| Different angle, here you can see my Macintosh SE bookends. They both still work great when I plug them in! Off to the far left you can see my large format archival printer. | |
|
| Detail: Epson R1800. The max size is 13" by any length. | |  | |
|
| Here's my drawing table. It's much larger than it looks in the photo, measures 62 x 38 inches; with a built in light box. It's an old steel model Mayline called "The Beast". And if you ever have to move it, you'll know why. Here you can also see my storage on the right where I keep all my tools and paper. On the far left just below the table, you can see my Famous Artist course 3 binder set. | |

| Closeup of my cigar box storage area. Pens, inks, markers, pencil colors, paint, etc. Don't smoke cigars, so I have to beg my local cigar shop to get them before the cigar-purse-making-ladies come around. | |
|
| This is the first side room. I mostly use this area for scanning, photocopying and shipping. Nothing too exciting here, just a bunch of paper in the cabinets below and lots of junk on the counter tops. More cork wall, but since I don't work much in this room it usually stays empty. | |
|
| I've been working on collecting as much original art as I can. Here's a recent Joker piece by Bill Sienkiewicz I picked up at WizardWorld Dallas 2006. Got a second Sienkiewicz in my sketchbook. | |
|
| Years ago I sent Will Eisner a fan letter and thanked him for writing his instructional books. He took it upon himself to send me a Spirit sketch on Will Eisner letterhead. One of my prized pieces, and it hangs just to the side of my drawing table for daily inspiration. | |
|
| Here's a look at the much smaller third room. Just enough room for my painting junk and my Art-o-graph machine. It's a large projector that's fantastic for resizing, referencing, and transferring art to canvas or bristol. | |  |
