my friend chuck










I truly appreciate the opportunity to work as a freelancer.

It began with a decade on the bass guitar and subsequent survival of over 600 weddings/functions, countless club dates, studio sessions and an annual Beachcomber 4th of July Extravaganza down in Wellfleet, MA.

I do miss it . . . but still get to stay up all night once in a while with a deadline! These days there's no gear to lift or early morning 'cold tea' at Chinatown's finest post-club hang . . . and it's definitely better for one's family life.

Post music biz I started storyboarding around Boston and eventual had the good fortune to meet and work with many of the fine folks at Hasbro and their Cake Mix Studios.

Here's a thumbnail sequence and a few penciled pages from a Tonka Chuck & Friends kids book which was used as an insert for one of the playsets. I had a great time working with these characters for a fews years - watching them develop into their current 3D selves on Hasbro's Hub TV.
