A quick little piece here created for the New Yorker in their film review of the new Ryan Gosling movie "The Place Beyond the Pines"

Unknowable

I'm pleased to show a new piece created for the Association of Fantastic Art to be used in promotion of Illuxcon 6 (September 11th-15th, Allentown PA). I was given almost entirely free reign to take this wherever I wanted to, so I went straight to the top of my personal-painting-concepts-that-I-never-have-the-time-for list: a large painting of a Sphinx.

David Bowie

I was *very* excited to be given the opportunity to paint this cover for Rolling Stone Italia. Can't wait to get the new album! Also, top notch reference material provided by Inez and Vinoodh

Scientific American

I'm extremely excited to have been commissioned to do the most recent cover and corresponding interior spread for Scientific American! What an honor! I'll be making a trip out to the book store as soon as I can to find some copies in the wild :D

Robert Smalls

A fairly recent piece done for Scope Magazine depicting Robert Smalls, an incredible historic figure whom I (sadly) don't remember hearing about way back in history class, but am glad to have had that oversight corrected.

Gatecrash

Some new (well, newly released) Magic pieces to share today! Though the shock land was likely to be the most popular of the pieces (for card mechanic/playability reasons, not necessarily art related), I think that little guy on the end stole the show. Actually, I feel there isn't much higher a compliment that a Magic artist can be payed than to have their art used on a particularly weak card and yet have people still enjoy it. I don't know who invented the name "Fblthp", but well done.

A quick update today with a personal piece which I started last year and just found the time to finish. Having fun finding mood through color and value relationships.
