Still not entirely sure how I’m gonna treat this account, but for now it seems I’m just sharing my (mostly bear themed) art and lusting after the guys I follow

I took the Christmas weekend to do some “just for me art”, but it’s time to get back to the projects. Speaking of - I’m (very slightly) revising my plans which I’ll post more about soon. But for now, here’s the drawing for the next Bear Portrait painting

Had a few hiccups in my time to work on this since I started it - but I finished it today. I just varnished it, so it’s currently drying, but I’ll be able to scan and post it tomorrow 😊

Ches Clark purchased this print of my Bear Portrait of Randy Wyatt, on metal and was kind enough to shared some pictures with me - I think it turned out quite nice 😊

Something I didn’t realize when I posted the last completed “Bear Portrait” was that it was the 50th painting (and half way point) in the project! To celebrate, I designed the logo for the series that will be used on the book cover and put together this collage.

So it’s official - the rerelease of my first book is out! There’s more to say about it, but for now if you look up “Return to Deaths Province” or “The Secret War, Book 1” at a book seller - you should be able to find it 😊

I actually got really far into this piece last weekend, but got sick and didn’t do much of anything for the week after. Luckily I’m feeling well enough now that I was able to almost finish it this weekend. Tomorrow, I’ll give it a look over, do any final touches it may need and wrap it up!

Smaller piece, with no background, and a simple colour palette… meant getting this piece done in less than a day. Despite all those advantages that helped make it happen, it still felt good to get something done.

There is still more to be said about my book - specifically its release announcement, which I expect I’ll be able to do very soon. But for now, it’s time to move along and get back into my Bear art. Here are the drawings for the next “gAy,Bear,Cs” illustrations and “Bear Portrait”

Unless something goes wrong, the next time I post about the book it will be to announce its official relaunch and where you can get it. For now, here are the final scans of the art with the new title logo added to the front cover. I’m really happy with how this all turned out 😊

The paintings are all done. They’ve been scanned, and are now digital files. I still need to digitally “clean” them, format for printing, and then upload them for publishing. And unless I encounter a technical issue with the upload, that will all be done by next weekend!!!

I posted yesterday about cutting out the portions of some of the paintings I did for the project I’m working on. But before that, I’d forgotten to post the last piece of the primary painting for said project. So, here it is

It took longer to get here than I wanted, and like the front cover, there is still more to do - touchups and effects. Before I can do those - I need to do the boarder art for these illustrations next.
