The Golden Ratio or Fibonacci Spiral
Now, before we begin, let’s just say that my years of being an engineering student are way, WAY behind me. But I was looking at a couple of sites today that discussed the Golden Ratio or the Fibonacci Spiral, a quasi-magical scientific idea (let that roll around in your head Read more…

Two New Ink Cards
Over the busy weekend, I’ve still managed to create two new ink cards, both based on ancient stone sculptures. They are also both ink on 5″ x 7″ 140 lb. Cold Press paper. The first is a gargoyle, based on one that I have here in my office. I’m having Read more…

New art! Winter Holiday
I’ve had quite a few ideas lately, but between my last trip for the day job, looking for a new day job, and family concerns, I haven’t had much time to do artwork. I have a few things I’ll need to do for deadlines, especially a new ink piece and Read more…

Egads! I’ve been framed!
Man, that’s a terrible title. But it does, somehow, convey the idea that I’ve taken three each of my ink cards and framed/matted them together.

Ok, here’s what I really meant: The Im-Ho-Tep Ink Card
I think what I really wanted out of this, and indeed out of all of the still life/portrait/from-a-photo inks that I’ve been doing

New Ink Card: An Old Fight
I have an unfortunate tendency to abandon works of art, as I’m creating them, if they start going off track. I’m working on not doing that, but it’s built-in that if it starts looking like the piece won’t work as planned, I just give up and go do something else. Read more…

New Ink Card: London After Midnight
I decided that, for the gallery, I was going to take three famous “monster” actors and put an ink card for each in a frame, to sell at the gallery. I already have the Dr. Phibes that I did, and I wasn’t convinced that the Phantom of the Opera was Read more…

Tonight’s project: Framing the Painting
I needed to get my new painting, The Apotheosis of War, ready for the upcoming First Friday Gallery Walk. So, I set aside some time tonight to finish framing it.

New sketchcard: Phantoms and Lon Chaney, Sr.
I started out to make a new sketchcard (same size and specs as the others, 5″x7″ inked), with the idea of doing one of Lon Chaney Sr.’s famous monsters. I chose his Phantom of the Opera, basing it off of a couple of photos. As I worked though, for some Read more…

New Sketchcard: Phibes
I was hoping to do quite a few more small inked cards (I’ve been calling them “sketchcards”), but I haven’t had as much time as I’d hoped. But, tonight, I managed to get one finished. I call it Phibes, and it’s based on the character from the “Dr. Phibes” movies. Read more…

New Acrylic Painting: The Apotheosis of War
Here is the new painting, an 18″ x 24″ acrylic painting. I named it “The Apotheosis of War”.

Work in Progress: Futility Painting
Now that I have the camera back (it took the family on a vacation this week), I can post a few shots of my work in progress. It doesn’t have an official name yet, but “futility” might have something to do with it. Here it is on my desk, and Read more…

Maelstrom Cover #2: Of Crows and Obsessions
This cover is a bit unlike Kelli’s, and many that I’ve done, in that the story was already available to the public.

Maelstrom Cover #1: Kelli Owen’s Six Days
I’ve been lucky over the past few weeks to get to work with the fantastic Thunderstorm Books. I’ve been working on three books for their Maelstrom imprint, beginning with tonight’s showcase, the cover for author Kelli Owen’s Six Days. For me, this first book is special because it’s Kelli’s first Read more…
