I of course enjoy, and still do, the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. I even created a female turtle by the name of,
believe it or not, Mona Lisa. It is a fact that I created this character before the producers of the animated TV series
created the female lizard Mona Lisa, and the live action series came out with Venus de Milo.

After I drew some of these images of my version of the female turtle I had sent it to the studio in hopes they would
be interested in using her. I even drew her with a light blue mask (sorry, can't seem to find the picture to show as a
sample). Unfortunately, the studio mailed me back saying they were not interested.

I had to laugh when I saw a female mutant lizard that looked very similar to my female turtle and with the same
name to boot about six to eight months later. Not only that, but when the live action series came out, I again
laughed when I noticed the female turtle, Venus de Milo with the same color mask I had on my character. Mind you,
I would have been very upset if these coincidences had been an original character of mine, and not just an idea for
a show that already existed.

Oh, well.


this is all FanArt I did from 1989 to 1991.

Here are two pictures from the coloring book I designed as a high
school project with the help of many students and teachers. A
special thanks goes to all of them. I would never have thought of
doing this book if they hadn't encouraged me.

This poster of the Ninja Turtle, Leonardo, I
drew was for my Art 9/10 folder. (It just so
happens Leonardo is my favourite turtle
out of the four.)
This poster of the Ninja Turtle, Michelangelo,
I drew was for a friend who asked me to do.
This group picture of all four turtles and their mentor rat,
Splinter was one of the more popular pictures I was asked to
draw.
