once again focusing on vehicle modes of generation one transformers, here’s the evil decepticon counterpart to my autobot invitational poster.
acidfree gallery and hasbro allowed me full creative full freedom on this series and the 10-year old me jumped at the chance to design posters showcasing classic G1 alt-modes.

idw : cobra files 1 : retailer incentive cover
here’s the “cobragraphic” retailer incentive cover that i designed for issue #1 of idw‘s new “cobra files” series. the issue hits stands on wednesday, april 10, 2013, with one copy of my cover shipping to comic shops for every 10 copies of the regular edition ordered.
once again, it’s a major thrill to work on one of the properties that inspired me to start drawing as a kid.
yo, joe!
nickelodeon : robotrucks
in late 2011, the VP in charge of preschool tv at nickelodeon invited me to join the development team for a new boys’ show.
after a day-long kickoff meeting at nick headquarters in manhattan, we were rolling on development of robotrucks, a show aimed at preschool boys featuring anthropomorphized construction vehicles and trucks that protect, teach and serve the town they live in.
shown here are my design concepts for ripper, the brawny bulldozer and chrome, the heroic monster truck.
as a team, we collectively took the project up to the creation of a show bible for a pitch to network heads. unfortunately, that’s where it ended, as they chose to pursue another show idea at that time.
overall, it was an eye-opening project for me, and something refreshingly outside of my wheelhouse. it was also amazing to work with a team of animation industry veterans. i hope i get the chance to work on something like this again in the future.
acidfree gallery : transformers : autobot invitational
thanks to acidfree gallery, i had the opportunity to dive headfirst back into the transformers universe.
i wanted these prints to stand apart from my earlier take on the generation one factions, so, taking cues from the great monaco racing posters of the 70′s, i put the alt-modes of classic autobots cars front and center.
(and keep your optic sensors peeled for a similarly-executed decepticon poster… more details soon!)
