Straws in the Wind

I finished this a little while back and just got the OK for showing it. This is my first cover for a series being published by Solaris called the Chronicles of the Lescari Revolution by Juliet McKenna. Just starting into the book two cover now, it's shaping up to be a fun one :)

B&W Girls

Some recent digital inks, just fooling about out of my head :)

Dinner at the Chaat

Wow, I've been MIA quite awhile! Sorry for the big ol' gap, February was mostly spent traveling to and getting settled in Berkeley CA. Not to say I haven't been painting, though mostly it's stuff I can't show yet. I'm getting an update together though, just waiting for the all clear on a new cover. In the meantime, I felt like knocking off a quick little cartoon this morning (because how else to put off working for 20 minutes more and still feel OK about it?). Some real stuff coming soon, I promise :)

IX - The Hermit

So I have another Tarot piece today, my first Major Arcana. The Hermit, secluded in his library and surrounded by his books (you know how I love to paint books). Oil, 10x15

These Things Really Work!

The first round of Last Man Standing 3 has been unveiled so I'm now free to share my piece :)

The topic given was "Underneath it all". I decided to approach this one with some humor. Check out the rest of the entries (some 300 total pieces for the first round I believe) at Conceptart.org

the Elf House

Hey all, just got the ok on this piece and so I'm free to share. This is for a paperback cover for Night Shade Books on a reprinting of David Drake short stories they're putting out. I felt like cranking up the smoke machines a few notches on this one :)

Are You Sleeping, Am I Awake?

Happy New Year everybody! Things are still going to be hush for the next couple weeks, but here's a personal piece that I slipped between some jobs (little here, little there) and I've been meaning to post it for a while now. Starting the new year off with one from the heart :)
