The majority of his work is in pantomime style very reminiscent of the master cartoonist Sergio Aragones. The above pieces are from CRACKED, THWAK and other sources. Check him out at

JOElanta 2008 Diorama

Here's just one angle of this amazing 8x12 ghost town diorama titled "Killer Mine at Bloody Canyon" from JOElanta 2008. With a church, general store, sheriffs office and an underground railroad tunnel this piece was really something to look at. Heck we even had a hanging at high noon! Check it out on utube as well as these other diorams from past shows.
