My Bio
I am a designer overall, architect by profession and comic illustrator and concept artist through my own imprint, Third Rail Design Lab. I publish a comic through TRDL that is free to view, and over a pretty extensive library of original characters which include powers and origins, etc as well as a generic RPG stat system for conversion to any game, which are available online and in trade paperback form.

Finishing up inks and colors on a few new pieces that weren’t ready for the September shows but are hot in my forebrain so I have to get them wrapped up and in art print form for the next show. 4.

I didn't realize I hadn't posted a journal here since March. Lots of happenings. Will get to that soon, but first, two items: 1. TRDL Sourcebooks Status: I have some good news and bad news which is all really the same news. Accelerated work obligations, family and home remodeling fun, and copious international travel have led to me making the difficult decision to push the print run of the new Third Rail Design Lab Sourcebooks until after September. This means they will not be on the table for SFCC and RCCC however they are still on track and will be available very soon. Thanks for waiting! 2. Conventions on the horizon: For my Bay Area p

Your style has a very Retro feel. I love it

Thanks for the tour.

Anybody know where Thom went? Another site? Arrested for smuggling llamas?
Happy Birthday, how did it go?
