My Workspace

Over the past few months I’ve gotten a couple of requests for pics of what my office looks like. I guess that really shouldn’t surprise me, after all I love to look at the workspaces of many of my fellow artists out there, but for some reason, actually taking pics of my OWN area never really occurred to me. Weird, I know. Anyway’s here’s a few pics, I’ll try and point out some of my favorite stuff inside:

In this pic you can see my INCREDIBLY tiny little monitor off to the left there. Also, the action figures going around the ceiling line are of course TMNT. I have all 4 turtles as well as Casey Jones, Shredder, Both versions of April and Splinter on the cards from the first series up there. I also have the Bebop from the 25th anniversary reissues. Next to those are all the turtles from the 2003 toyline followed by all the turtles and Splinter from the TMNT movie toyline. Also, you can’t really see them in this pic (they are on the very right edge of the photo) but I have all of the TMNT sans Leo and She-Dragon from Images release of turtle toys designed by Jim Lee and Erik Larsen.

The other notables in this pic are probably “The Artist’s Decision Tree” by Sheldon’s Dave Kellet and the animation cel featuring Leo vs Shredder from the original cartoon.

Here’s a closer look at my wall. Oh hey, I forgot to mention the original Archie strip by Bob Smith there. As it stands down it’s the only original comic strip art I own.

This pic is of the other side of my office. Aside from the awesome 60′s sleeper couch I think the comic spinner rack is the hero over here (at least it is to me) Honestly, I love that thing to death. I’m sure I’m not the only comic nerd that has dreamt about having one of those in their house, I just think it’s pretty sweet I got one :) Over here lining the ceiling are some of my CGC books including Deadpool’s first appearance, Watchmen #1, Wolverine Origins #1 and a very cool ECCC exclusive Marvel Zombies variant. You can also see my TMNT  basketball hoop/ laundry hamper and my bookshelf.

Here’s a better look at the shelf:

Over here you can see my official member ship into the TMNT fan club ( yes folks, I am that awesome) as well as some original animation cells from the Marvel Action hour. As you can see I also have a few loose action figures as well as some bobbleheads. And that about sums it up. I do love my work space. I’m a pretty happy nerd.
