Thanksgiving Cubs
This was a pretty sizable commission, 16″x24″, but fun to put together for a sweet bunch of cubs. I love drawing the interaction of characters, and telling a story with their actions and expressions. Everyone is busy doing something. See anyone you...
Chieftess Storm
I just read a long interview with Wendy Pini, creator of ElfQuest, and just reminiscing about my teenage obsession with the graphic novels gave me a yearning to draw EQ again. Like all true fans, I had my own elf-sona: Chieftess Storm (I must have named my wolf...
Trick or Treat!
It was fun looking up references for Foulfellow and Gideon for this Halloween commission. I do believe this is the first time I’ve ever drawn anything related to Pinocchio, but I remember loving the movie as a kid. Who knows what trick-or-treating will look like...
Lizard Queen
This pencil sketch, drawn during a Cabal art stream, is quite the departure for me on a couple of levels. I seldom draw nude figures, and I don’t think I’ve ever drawn a realistic aged character. My typical commission is for the other end of the...
Playing with Procreate
I spent a bit of time playing with my new iPad, an iPad Air 3, and Apple Pencil (1st generation). Actually, I spent tons of time comparing models, assessing my needs, evaluating the best discount options, talking with friends about their experiences, and test driving...
On the journey
I’ve always been intrigued by the Journey, and I love Joseph Campbell’s thoughts about the mythic qualities of the journey. If you enter the woods with intent, do the woods then support you? And are even obstacles you encounter opportunities to grow? This...
Best in Show
This picture was in one of my last convention art shows. After a while I made the decision to stop showing at art shows–I love the art show, but it was such a hassle to bring art with me on the plane, set it up, and take it down all by myself (in addition to...
Spring Border
This is the image I painted during our first livestream. Many things still to improve on in the tech department (hello, audio!), but it was fun to paint with you all 🙂 Penciled, then inked with Faber Castell PITT pens, and coloured with my trusty travel watercolour...
Character Studies
Character Studies In preparation for doing the comic Incontinent Student Bodies #5 (issues available at Karis’s Playground), I did some character studies. These were done in May 2009, but I still quite like them, especially the unicorns (who are brother and...
CAPCon 2020
Even though I wasn’t at the con, I still had a presence there, of a sort. Crinklz had a table there, and I had done a t-shirt design for them of the event, as well as a line art version for colouring. It’s a little trickier creating a line art version than...
