A piece I did for Paperback 10th Anniversary Edition by designer Tim Fowers.
I got big into Frank Frazetta in art school and started reading a lot of pulp sci fi/fantasy authors like R.E. Howard as a result. The definitive Conan the Barbarian is always Frazetta's to me.

As far as things I enjoy painting, this art kinda has it all. Ridiculous pink atmosphere, nice reflective materials, electricity, glowing trees and abdominals.

Gradually the Toriyama inspired car doodles in my Uglybook sketchbook have turned into drawings of elaborate car crashes and general destruction. It's research. 🤖🔥🦖

These days my sketchbook is an orange #uglybook I'm using paint markers in. I've been drawing a lot of little cars lately as a bit of practice for one of my current projects. Very Akira Toriyama inspired proportions here

Final➡️WIP➡️B/W Sketch➡️Detail -- because lately I've been into leaving these weird squiggly paint shapes that work at a distance but fall apart up close. I think they're kinda playful!

Lando!!!! for Star Wars Unlimited Jump to Lighstpeed.
It took a couple of tries before settling on this sketch as a way of adding excitement/energy to a interior cockpit view like this-- adding an explosion outside helps.

Box top/side details.
I'm proud of the way the crane/horizon wraps over the top of the box, I've been trying to take better advantage of the planes of the box in my designs lately as a challenge to how I think about illustrating on a three dimensional surface.

I learned on this project in order to keep it from looking like a game for kids it was super necessary to have some rich black tones to save it from being too primary color-dominant, while still being able to really leverage the color palette of the game pieces.

Fluffy🐑💖😩 My sheep resource card art for Catan 6th Edition!
Following Michael Menzel's👑 work from 5E was an intimidating task and it was clear my work on Catan needed to NOT make arbitrary changes but to build on his incredibly smart and elegant work.
