I can’t tell if painting/illustrating good anatomy is harder or easier at life size. I’m definitely pulling my hair out at the third-ish hour into this arm.

Happy Birthday to Boris Vallejo. One of my earliest inspirations. His pencil work is still some of my fav art. My piece (‘The Return’ graphite) was created for a Vallejo tribute show.

Well done! Here’s a recent pencil piece that I am currently painting. Elric and Red Sonja crossover.

Finally. Elric and Red Sonja taking on the otherworldly, gargantuan Kraken/Squid/Octopus. So big. My inspiration was any scene from Pirates on deck shot, everything is just exploding. Good stuff. What to call it...Gargantupus? Private commission, Graphite on Bristol, 11x17.

Some of my favorite work is creating backdrops for a local ballet company, Classical Ballet Academy here in Portland. Drawn on a Wacom Cintiq and rear projected to biblical proportions. Incredibly moving to see ur own artwork that big. A production of Don Quixote. Physical set in front.
