Two new Ebook covers

Michael and Todd have been great to work with. It's a really fun experience to foster an ongoing relationship with repeat clients. I don't know if they have managed to add these to their books available on Amazon yet so you're getting a sneak peek here! I did the type for both of these too. 

Hey guys! The Amazing Arizona Con in Phoenix went pretty well considering it is a smaller con. My setup that I made out of PVC pipes worked perfectly. These four images were the most popular at the con. And of course, my face was the most popular of all!

Prints for the Con

Hey world. I've been working on some works-in-progress for the upcoming Comicon in Phoenix. Two of these go back three years, and the third about one year. I just couldn't seem to get over the hump on them until now.

Spheria, Vaydria, and Vashat

I'm doing some character illustrations for a group of friends I made at the Tucson Comicon. I met Todd VanHooser there and he has created his own RPG called Adventures Under the Laughing Moon which you can find here: http://www.toddvanhooser.com/todd1_052.htm.  He also is writing books based on the lore of his game! I find that really cool that the game came first and then the books.

Anyway, this is Spheria, Vaydria and Vashat

Two oil paintings: 'Field of Flowers', and 'Columbus and Broadway'

So I've stuck with the palette knife and these are my two latest incarnations. I took the photo for the first one just before leaving San Francisco. The second one was taken during a backpacking trip in Colorado near Pagosa Springs. 

My newest oil painting of dusk in San Francisco! I'm including some close-ups so my knife strokes can be seen. I'm experimenting with making my strokes expressive and creative. I'm excited to be doing this and getting away from strict realism which I find laborious and lifeless. It turns out that means leaving brushes behind entirely!

Three new oil paintings! I'm very happy to show these because I had to stop oil painting for some time while I moved back to Tucson. I was also quite busy with digital painting commissions for awhile there!

The street painting is a view down Union Street toward Van Ness in San Francisco--you can see I'm still experiementing with my style--trying to use some lines in this one. If you don't know what I mean by lines, look closely and compare the paintings, or just ask me lol.

The cactus I believe was taken by my Aunt here in Az, and of course we know where the red street car was--the Embarcadero.

As I said, I'm still trying to find my painting style despite having been at this for years. I'm excited to try something new right now and I will post asap!
