A forest with fireflies. This little illustration was painted with a series of gouache washes, giving it a very soft feel.

If you have not yet experienced one of my Halloween art countdowns- I have a few copies left of “Lanterns Burn Bright” and “Revelry of Ravens” that can be enjoyed ANY year starting on October 18 to count down two weeks to Halloween with art, story, and stickers!

It's nice to do these layouts from time to time to see how the work has evolved and how it's remained consistent. Lately, I've been shifting my emphasis from the tower to the portal.

I know others have likely said this, but the point and the joy in art is that it is problem solving in action. It is watching your improvement piece by piece and creating a personal visual language
Whenever people use AI instead it quite literally defeats that entire purpose of creating

I was looking at Eyvind Earle and Maxfield Parrish before and while working on this. I think I ended up being myself in the end, though.

I am open to offers on this set of four seasonal horse unicorns framed as a set!
Each is 8" x 8" (not including the frames). I've had them for a bit and it would be nice if they went together. If not, I'll probably unframe them before Gen Con and move them to my unframed original basket.

If you were too young in 2003 here is what Bush told the American people:
1) The Iraq War won’t cost a lot of money
3) We won’t need a lot of troops
4) We’ll bring peace and freedom to Iraq
5) We’ll find WMDs
6) We’ll be welcomed as liberators
7) It will be easy
8) It won’t take long
All lies.

The Quack of Dawn, personal #art. One of my most surreal ones, as I embrace the urge to swoosh and follow my own silly voice, wherever it may lead. Painted mainly from imagination by me, a human boy.
Let's all be more quirky in our styles and complete ourselves, not compete among ourselves.
