Visions of Never

this is kind of a side post, but Pat Wilshire (founder of the upcoming Illuxcon) was good enough to share a sneak peek at his new book Visions of Never with me recently and now I'm really eager to get my own copy :)

The book features six fantasy illustrators (Paul Lehr, Don Ivan Punchatz, Richard Bober, Robh Ruppel, Marc Fishman, and Mark Zug), a couple of whom I hadn't even been aware of prior to seeing the book but their contributions are all beautiful. Anyhow, just giving Pat a little plug here. See you at Illuxcon!

New work

Gah, feels like forever! I've been plenty busy, though there are only a couple things I can post here at the moment:


16x24, oil on board


12x18, oil on board

also, check the new issue of Heavy Metal out next time you're at the store. It's my first cover for them and I'm really happy with how it came out! Very exciting :D

if you'll step this way...

In an effort to keep things a little tidier and updates more frequent, I've decided to open a new blog devoted entirely to my postcards and nudes. Check over at postcardnudes.blogspot.com for any future work in that series, while this blog will continue to focus on my illustration work, gallery events, and any other odds and ends that don't involve tiny paintings of naked women ;)

But as a proper send off, a few recent pieces:

SDCC! London Miles Gallery! Quickie ships!

So things have been in fast forward this past week getting ready for San Diego Comic Con, which opens today! I've been here since yesterday morning setting up the booth and catching up with long distance friends (and trying to catch up with sleep). If you're hitting the show this weekend, stop by and see us at booth 4813, I'm sharing with Daren Bader (who's just released a beautiful hardbound collection of his illustrations) and Scott Altmann. I'll have originals (illustrations and postcards), as well as new catalogs, copies of Quickie, and a variety of prints. Come say hi :D

Also, Quickie preorders shipped on Monday! They're on their way to the four corners of the globe, thanks again to all who preordered!



And finally, I'll be taking part in a group show at the London Miles Gallery
which opens this weekend. I'm really excited to see how it goes, it looks like a good show and I wish that I could be there to see it! The show is called Candy Coateded Canvas and the theme as described: "[art] which is visually extremely colourful and playful, whilst sparking up memories of childhood, sweets, fantasy lands and those naughty but nice pleasures in life."

My two below along with the show ads:

Two new illustrations

Little update, trying to not let them bunch up so much :P


The Mystic, 17x22, oil on board, done for the cover of my 2009 Illustration catalog


Two of Wands, 12x18, oil on board

QUICKIE: 58 Erotic Portraits. Pre-order now!

ok, so... Big announcement time!

...

So, I'm really REALLY pleased to announce that in the very near future I'll be releasing a volume of selected images from my postcard series (year one) as well as related work. The book will be a square format 8"x8", 60 pages, and limited to 150 s/n copies. The books are going to be available late July (I'll have them for San Diego Comic Con) but I'm now taking pre-orders. Pre-order copies are priced at $20 each (plus shipping). Why pre-order you ask? Well...

*The first 50 orders will also receive an original sketch (similar to the ones below) tucked inside*

Honestly, I'm just really excited about this. I've been having so much fun doing these paintings and it makes me so happy to see them compiled into this book. They'll be back from the printers in mid-July, orders will ship asap.
