I'm working on two (count 'em, two) stories right now. That's not including the myriad of countless other projects bouncing around my studio right now, but more on that stuff later. I've made two promo pieces for the stories just to flesh out some ideas. The first is for a revived project that everybody around me calls the tiger story, so I've started calling it that, too. It used to be called The Blinding Gold but I kind of hate that title now.




This scene takes place approximately midway through the initial story and is a good contrast to all the other scenes I've illustrated that take place in the jungle. I really want to just tell you all about the story, but that would be selling myself short.

The second piece is a bit simpler and is from the book I've been having to delay more and more as other things in my life keep popping up, Radical Physics.




I did this one first, but I really wanted to do something with some perspective since the story is told much more straight-forward and movie-like. I can tell you two things about this scene: 1) the jock guy chasing our hero is secretly an alien with a high athletics modifier. and 2) Our hero is about to get hurt something bad for jumping from so high.

Stay tuned for more art including a ton of new fine art and a project that even you can get involved with.

I'm currently ideating a bunch of things, as I've previously stated. Well along with that, I'm using this experimentation time to make pieces for the art sale so I can at least feel like selling them is enough to justify spending as much time on them as I am. I just unearthed this giant box of color-aid that I totally forgot that I had. Its some pretty great stuff and I don't get enough time to do the cut paper/collage thing even though I am admittedly bad at it. I came up with the following image, but I know it isn't finished. I want to go back into it with pencil or something and maybe do something a little less abstract. But what?



I'd love any suggestions.

Lately, I've been kind of exploring a whole bunch of new things. I have always really liked patterns, but I never really make very many, plus I really felt like I needed to use some digital media since everything I've done lately is hand-made (even my website). Anyway, these aren't the best, but I think I really like them. Plus they actually fit together and repeat seamlessly, which is actually not super hard in a geometric pattern, but it's something.
