Head Study

Felt like sharing a quick study I did in preparing for a new painting on the way. Experimenting with combining some of the techniques from Coral Demon with the more painterly approach. The full scale piece should be up later this week...

Another Link piece just for fun

The Old Ones Return

Another piece executed in the newer painterly/naturalist style emphasizing mood, light, and atmosphere over detail and render. This was just a personal experiment piece (never painted a real Cthulhu before), but I'm excited to have a few commissioned illustrations using the new approach lined up. I'll be posting as they go public :)

The Adventures of Link

Here are two pieces I made for an upcoming show at OhNo!Doom in Chicago. The show is all video game related images, and for me that translates to NES classic. It was my first system, my favorite system, and the only console I still use (believe me, Tetris *never* gets old). The choice of which NES game to jump off from was tough at first, but in the end it had to be Zelda 2: The Adventures of Link. It was the first game I ever owned (besides Mario/Duck Hunt I suppose) and it was fuel for my imagination for years and years to follow.

This was also a fun project because it was my first experiment into combining fantasy art subject matter and ideas with the more painterly and naturalistic style which I've been exploring in my gallery work. I definitely will be doing work more along these lines in the future.
