Not trying to beat a dead Elder god but here's another iteration...just playing with the different rythms and melodies of the flesh

I'm in a Lovecraftian state of mind...

 My book cover is now in the wild(at least a preview anyway)!

Queen Victoria's Book of Spells

Here is the piece that was just nominated for a Chesley Award! I'm floored and honored to be among such an incredible group of artists!

...an in progress piece from a short time ago...a private commission.
Oil on acrylic on canvas, 24" by 36"

So my website is live ...even though I only have three pieces up. In the net week I'll try and at least fill the drawing page... Many thanks to my friend Stephanie Law who not only does great work but can also code...

Two exercises that I did in oil. I did black and white studies of random photographs that I found in some magazine. I don't know who the photographers or the models were or I would credit them. These were and are for my own educational purposes to see if I could manage the oils...at least in monochrome.

Oh look...I found my brush pen!

As I was waiting for some feedback today and laid up with a UFC related back injury(it wasn't UFC I hurt it getting into the car) I found this guy...he's part of the Personal Demons sketchbook series. I think I must have imprinted Darkness from Legend as my patriarchal archetype.
