For the past year I’ve been dedicating myself to doing more personal work. I was thrilled yesterday to hear that my painting Waking World was awarded 1st place in the “Outside the box” category in the Portrait Society of America Members Only Competition. Just wanted to share the good news :)

What started as turkey themed lunchbox notes for my kid is now touching on themes of mental health and collective bargaining… I think I might win an Eisner

This might not look like much, but I’m excited. This is the first day of construction/demolition for my first real studio!

Hey BlueSky, remember like 6 years ago when I stopped making process videos? Well, I've been given the opportunity to produce a whole video course. I'm working on it now, but if you want to sign up to get more info about releases/pricing, the sign up is here: www.waitlistcourse.com/rpancoast
Sign up to my upcoming course!

Working on a new venture and going through old paintings. This was the 30"x40" painting I was working on when Jeremy Jarvis contacted me for my first MtG piece, Plains from M10. I guess I was painting flowers and figured I'd paint a few more!

Two of my major pieces are now for sale with relatively low starting bids. We are auctioning these to help the family of the former owner of these paintings and are not taking a commission or profiting at all from this sale. If interested, visit the Art Market : www.facebook.com/groups/18843...

My first digital piece for MtG, ever. I'm crushed I wasn't able to put my full artistic weight behind this piece, but TNMT meant way too much to me as a kid to sit this one out. I begged my way into this set and they gave me Raph!

Two of my originals are looking for new homes:
Linden, the Steadfast Queen 18"x24" oil on canvas

I love painting faces and was really looking forward to all the cool creatures of Lorwyn since the first one was before my time. But I guess someone has to paint a horrific creature with the absence of a face. 🤷‍♂️
