In the nineties, he created 'Orbit', 'Clive Barker's The Yattering' and 'Jack'. He is also a popular cover artist for series such as 'The Vampire Lestate', 'Aliens', 'Army of Darkness' (Dark Horse) and 'Man-Bat'. 'Gifts of the Night' was published by DC Comics in 1999. Among his later credits are 'Fables: 1001 Nights of Snowfall' and 'God Save the Queen'. He made illustrations for various card and roleplaying games like 'Magic the Gathering' and 'Vampire'.
