Surge of the Wine-Dark Sea

I recently received my copy of an art anthology I was a part of. Surge of the Wine-Dark Sea is a collection of contemporary artists that are producing work for and in the style of old-style fantasy RPGs. It was a honor to be a part of it and it is a real sharp book to hold in your hands. Over 30 artists contributed work to this book and if you are a fan of this style of gaming and art you really should take the time to go check out Surge of the Wine-Dark Sea!

Surge of the Wine-Dark Sea now available at lulu.com!

I have three pieces in the book and they each received an entire page to stretch their elbows and hang out. You might remember seeing these pieces here on the blog, they were produced for Knockspell #2 and Knockspell #3 released by Mythmere Games. I tip my hat and extend my thanks to Matt Finch, the master mind behind both Knockspell and Surge of the Wine-Dark Sea.

Knockspell Magazine #3

Knockspell Magazine #3 by Mythmere Games was released toward the end of October / beginning of November and somehow I missed it's release. I contributed two pieces to this issue and both center around a Minotaur Lord. Now where have I seen Minotaurs lately?? Make sure you pick yourself up a copy of Knockspell #3 now available through Black Blade Publishing!



I worked with Matt Finch of Mythmere Games this time around. It is always fun to get a chance to do line art, though I used more then just lines. I really wanted to get a lot of texture into these and had a great time doing it. Looking back I had forgotten when I actually made these. They were finished up right before Comic Con in July. How time flies. But I am happy to share these with you now!

I should have a Dreamblade piece for you tomorrow... if all goes well... As the year comes crashing to an end my schedule is becoming more and more... FULL. I hope to be able to bring you posts on my regular schedule through out the holidays and into new year, but I know there will be gabs. So please bear with me and I will do my best! Until then...

Knockspell Magazine #2

Knockspell Magazine #2 by Mythmere Games was released last week and I have 3 pieces in this issue. Head over to lulu.com to order your very own copy of Knockspell #2!


Jeff Preston was the art director on this and it was really great to have the chance to work with him. I met Jeff through ArtOrder, he had commented on some of the post and I started following his blogs. He mentioned that he was working on this project and I dropped him an email, the rest is history. I really look forward to having the chance to work with Jeff again, I can't speak highly enough!
