Faeries in the Weeds



I like to do these little ones between projects or while waiting for a.d.'s to get back to me. We have a show coming up in November and the more of these little ones I can do the better.

Secret History of Giants - Sketchbook - 3






More drawings for this really fun book project.

Mountain Troll



I'm presently working on a book project called Teeney O'Feeney King of the Leprechauns. Here are 2 takes on the same character - Olaf the Mountain Troll. The first version of Olaf is for the book and the second version I did for myself - just for fun.

The Secret History of Giants - Sketchbook 2






Some more drawings done for the is book project - lots of experimenting with character, pose and design.

The Secret History of Giants - Sketchbook






I recently had the privilege of working on an excellent book project called The Secret History of Giants. I did a lot of drawing to both prepare for this project and also to contribute spontaneous drawings as illustrations. I accumulated quite a pile of these drawings and can now safely post some of them, being as how the book has been printed and will be out shortly - it's already out in England.

Watercolour - Faerie in the weeds

A small watercolour done between assignments - just for fun.

Magic Card - Lorwyn


This is one of the many cards I did for the recent Magic set, Lorwyn.

Sketchbook - Witches



Some preliminary pencil work for a recent project concerning witches.

Watercolour - Proximity


I'm not sure why these two are together. Is she his prisoner or is he her body guard?
Maybe they're just waiting.
Watercolour with gouache and graphite.

Spectrum Award - Rainy River


Oddly enough this watercolour earned a silver award in the 15th annual Spectrum competition for Science Fiction and Fantasy art. Thanks Spectrum

Watercolour - The Woodwink



When I first painted this one I like her just as a nude but I then later decided to give her a little faerie glamour. I like both versions. This is watercolour with gouache and graphite.
