“When we reach a ‘critical mass’ of integration, we experience spontaneous combustion–an explosion of inner synergy that ignites the fire within and gives vision, passion, and a spirit of adventure to life.” ~ Stephen Covey

About Me
I am illustrator in the entertainment arts focused on visual development, character design, layouts, concept art, and anything in the realm of visual storytelling. Around these parts though, I'm letting it loose Simian Style and devolving into a higher state of consciousness on the boundary of an infinite-dimensional manifold in quasi-time. There's plenty of room down this rabbit hole! Learn more About Me and check out the Portfolio.

excellent quote and pic Jay!
I thought this was a great example of inspiration within the context of the “Simian Style.”
Doesn’t look very happy to be in the ape suit. There are worst things, could be in a chicken suit. Awesome sketch.
Very cool, as always. Are we allowed to make requests?
@Darren: Yeah, I was trying to reconnect with that passionate combustible spirit of a more free flowing art than some of the stuff I have been doing lately.
@mad: Thanks bro… the Simian lies deep in us all. Time to let him come out and play.
@Robin: I am not sure he is unhappy just intent on kindling his fire. I agree a chicken suit would be worse.
@McLaughlin: I would be glad to entertain requests. I am working like a mad dog at art school right now, but provided the idea is a cool one and I can find the time (which might take a bit) lay it down and I’ll see what I can do.
