October Illustrations

The dimly lit forest of paintings I've created over the past few years. Dried leaves, tarnished stars and the characters who seek them out.


Stayed up late, late, working on “The Clockmaker”.  My biggest canvas to date at 48”x48”.  This may become habit.

“Steampunk Stu vs. Cthulhu”  (detail) 12”x24” oil on birch panel.  On the far side, will be a young boy piloting a steam engine with cannons, facing off against Cthulhu.

“The Clockmaker” 48”x48” oil on canvas..  A companion piece to “The Astronomer”, “The Seamstress” and “The Painters” I’ve started this week and the largest canvas I’ve ever done.  It’ll be for a show I’m having here April 5th.

Still working on “The Angler in the Moor”.  This drawing wasn’t really planned out at all, so it’s hard to say what’ll change, if anything, by the time I’m done.

“The Angler in the Moor” 18”x24” watercolor on paper.
I got a new, random illustration started last week with a little gap between commissions.  I’m still new to watercolors, but they may be my new favorite medium.  The Angler will have a colorful Whirly Pop dangling from his antennae to entice children to the edge of the water. When they lose balance and fall in, he devours them.

Did a Steampunk-ish scarecrow tattoo design for a client this week.  Pencil on newsprint…  I haven’t drawn on newsprint since grade school and I forgot what a pain in the ass it was.
