An image created for a friend as a gift. This was so much fun to put together! I always love drawing animals and putting them in bee costumes made it way too much fun. :)
More work coming soon as well as some really exciting projects!
I came home the other day to find a package by my door and to my surprise it was my artist’s copy of Spectrum 18! I’m extremely excited about being included in this amazing publication! I suggest you pick up a copy of this book because it is absolutely FILLED with amazing artwork. It is an incredible honor to see my own work inside:
The piece featured in the book was created for Imagine FX magazine to illustrated how to paint a elegant but wriggly fish.
In other news, I’ve been working on laying out my next collection of artwork. Fish Hooks volume 1 has been taken down from being sold online. I’m currently working on volume two to bring to “Spectrum Art Live!” in May. I’m working on finding a good printer I can go through at the moment. I’ll have the finished book available for purchase in my etsy store, with links on my blog. I’ve been working on a few different pieces lately, mostly for myself. Here is a piece of something I started last week:
Hoping to finish it up soon.
I have been working on some new images that I really can’t wait to share! Life has been a bit hectic lately with the Holidays coming and work. More updates are on the way for The Red Valley along with a few new images for my portfolio. I have two new images in Imagine FX magazine this month. You can see both of these in Issue 76! Be sure to check it out if you can. I had lots of fun painting that landscape and, of course, the canines as well. It’s always a pleasure working with the Imagine FX team. :)
Stay tuned for more updates!
Saw these on the stands yesterday in Imagine FX magazine. They were created for issue 75′s Q&A section. Be sure to check them out if you can! This round was particularly challenging but the two creatures feeding on the carcass up top were especially tricky. My goal was to make it look natural – as if the predators have always eaten this way. Nature can be incredibly gruesome and gory at times and I really wanted to show that without exaggerating it. In any case, these were so much fun to paint.
I’m currently visiting the Mojave desert area to see family. I’m also taking the opportunity to take some notes and photos for The Red Valley. I’m very excited to begin posting content for the project. I should begin in early November.
New work to be posted soon!
