My concept sketch of Johnny Castaway tweaked a bit in Photoshop.

Johnny Castaway was the first product created by Jeff Tunnell Productions an offshoot of Sierra/Dynamix, . Johnny Castaway is a screen saver where Johnny is stranded on a deserted island where he has daily adventures wrestling sharks and fighting seagulls. In between adventures Johnny walks around, scratches his head and sleeps.

For the game Johnny Castaway I was asked to create a character that was weathered but likable. Sierra still gets e-mail from folks that love this product which was one of the first Windows screen savers (note the use of the 16 standard windows colors in the screen shots (right). Designing the Johnny character was my only contribution to this product. I moved onto Turbo Science that was released later the next year.
