Lee's Toy Review Covers - Lee's Toy Review is a monthly publication which covers new and vintage action figures. Both cover designs were done by myself as well as the Iron Man photography. Indiana Jones was provided by Sideshow Collectibles. Both covers were designed in early 2008.

Reservoir Dogs Mezco Toyz Spread - This spread was an announcement of the Mezco Toys 2001 toy line based on the 1992 film Reservoir Dogs. The photography, as well as the layout, was completely done by myself. After seeing the article, Mezco Toyz requested the imagery (including the black and white silhouettes) for their own use. This was a cover story in Lee's Toy Review Issue #101.

Lee's Guide to G.I. Joe Vehicles and Accessories - A comprehensive guide to unpackaged 1980's G.I. Joe Vehicles. The basic layout was designed for collectors to easily identify vehicle parts found at flea markets and garage sales. The layout was completely performed by myself as well as the photography and the research. Above is the guide cover and a sample page.

Lee's Toy Price Guide - Lee's Toy Price Guide is a quarterly publication aimed at the collector toy marketplace. The entire publication was conceived, executed, photographed and researched by myself. Above is the cover of Issue #4 and an article from that issue.
