Last week, I learned that a friend of mine in Los Angeles has been secretly battling cancer since 2020. While I completely support anyone's decision with what they share and do not share,
I met Camden Toy while living and working in
That is all for today. See you back here tomorrow. Until then...
For the Black Friday/Cyber Monday event this year, I sketched up a bunch of Kaijudo artist proofs that were giveaways for qualifying purchases. They seem to have been a big hit, and it is something I might do again in the future - BUT I do have two remaining artist proofs available, and the next two purchases from my store will each get one! For those unfamiliar with my work on Kaijudo, you can get that info here on the blog. These were something I did in my limited
That's all for another exciting Wednesday on the blog. See you back here on Friday! Until then...
I am thrilled to share another new piece from The Grand Bazaar of Ethra VanDalia. This illustration is for Book Two: The Completed Circle. This will be a character portrait accompanying one of the short blurbs at the beginning of a chapter. I shared more about these with the first post focused on these portraits.

I present you with a Ptilopt (silent 'P'!) (name to come later) to let you know you are in a restricted area

I mentioned that this particular monster already has a 3D miniature. As this is a tiny monster, the miniatures are always too small to get all the detail in. With the 2D printed mini, you are able to get a bit more in there, and it really reads well. I love how faithful it is to my painting, even at this size. Here is the 3D mini for the Gazer.
I am thrilled to share my contribution to The Pierian: Literary + Visual Arts Journal. The Pierian is a literary and art publication from Albany State University in Georgia. I was approached to contribute to their first issue in nine years. After this long
