March of Zombie King
I got an awesome commission from Dan Fogler. He’s working on the volume 2 of Moon Lake. He starts mentioning zombies (interest piqued), then mentions mammoths (and hooked). I was supposed to meet up with Dan in New York at the comic convention but I couldn’t make it out east. I’m glad the project still went through. ...

Figure Study No. 221
First study for 2013 earlier this January over at Platform Studios life drawing sessions. I had a 40 minute block for this one and I’m finding my approach is changing a bit. I’m focusing more on correct values rather than building them up and adjusting along the way.

WWII Tail Gunner Beer Label
Beer label for American Sky Brewery. This is Tail Gunner Gold. I went with a cool B-25. I’ve always loved the cool tail fins. Part of the direction of the art was to portray the women I’m painting as strong characters rather than the pin-ups that might have been on the sides of these ...

Zombies don’t sleep
Another painting that will be available at the Annual Maleficium Dark Art Exhibition at the Kosart Effects Studios & Gallery. I made some wallet and wall space friendly zombies. Featured above is my undead vision of dark intent. Her piercing gaze ever searching for victims rich in iron.

A Successful Plein Air weekend
I had the opportunity to spend some time in the country to paint and work on some illustration projects. The excursion was a test run for a future project. I was able to spend a few hours of the three days I was in Missouri painting outdoors. The first two days of painting produced a ...

Fires of the Desert
Fires of the Desert; Cover for the 4th book in the Children of the Desert series by Leona Wisoker. I needed to convey the main character in a way I thought would really tie into the title and capture the spirit of the book. For inspiration I turned to the romantics and orientalists. Frederic Leighton’s Flaming ...

Pris
In August I choose Pris from the movie Bladerunner for the theme at my workshop. I was able to find an awesome wig that was close to what was in the movie. I actually like the one I found better. We tore up some makeup to create the doll look. Pris wasn’t a doll in ...
