10/15/11: Thanks to all who stopped by our table at Gen Con! I enjoyed meeting new people and seeing some familiar faces. For more on my time at Gen Con Indy 2011, visit my blog. My next convention appearance will be Emerald City Comic Con.

The Explorer's Guide to Drawing Fantasy Creatures is now out on store shelves and is also available for purchase online. For more information about the book, including samples of the interior art and purchasing info, click here.

7/22/11: My copies of The Explorer's Guide to Drawing Fantasy Creatures have arrived! That means that they will be appearing on store shelves within the next two weeks. When I return from Gen Con, I will be making signed copies available for purchase here on my website.

Click here for a peek inside the book.

The preparations for Gen Con continue. I will be displaying original paintings from The Explorer's Guide to Drawing Fantasy Creatures, as well as other fantasy art for various clients. And, as usual, I will have plenty of goodies for sale, including original art, prints, sketchbooks, and copies of my new book. If you'll be attending, please stop by and say hello! The convention runs from August 4th through 7th.

 

6/23/11: I recently started my first blog! I have always wanted to post more of my sketches and process drawings for my illustrations, as well as share some personal work, but was never able to find the space or time to add them here. I will also be posting news about my book, upcoming convention appearances, and anything else that seems relevant. Please check it out!

6/12/11: I have some BIG news to announce...
Most of my time over the past year has been dedicated to working on a very special project: writing and drawing (and painting) my first book The Explorer's Guide to Drawing Fantasy Creatures! It's a 144 page how-to-draw book with basic art tips and information, guidance for designing creatures, and step-by-step instruction for drawing fantasy critters and their various features and accessories. It also features a whole bunch of brand new full color creature paintings that can only be found in this book. This project was quite an undertaking, and I'm very excited about the results. The Explorer's Guide to Drawing Fantasy Creatures is published by Impact Books, is available for pre-order online right now, and will be in stores this summer!

More news: I will be attending the Gen Con Indy art show from August 4-7 this year. In addition to the usual prints, sketchbooks and other goodies, I'll be bringing some fun stuff related to The Explorer's Guide to Drawing Fantasy Creatures and will be displaying original paintings from the book. I hope you see you there!

 

 

 

4/12/11: Another update! Some work I did for Cricket Magazine has been posted.

4/09/11: Thanks to all who stopped by our table at ECCC last month. I regret that I was unable to attend for most of Sunday, but had a great time on Friday and Saturday.

Many freelance artists tend to live reclusive lives, and sometimes it feels as though we work in a void. Feedback about our work frequently only comes from a small circle of art directors, editors, and close friends and family, and while all of that is much appreciated, it's very different to hear from the general public. Good response to an artist's work is one of the best forms of encouragement, so to everyone that took the time to chat, buy stuff, or even simply say hello, thank you. I look forward to attending the con again next year.

As an added bonus, I've finally updated a few recent pieces to the gallery. Please take a look!

2/19/11: Our Artist Alley table number at ECCC has been announced: G-11. Hope you will be stopping by!

1/20/11: As mentioned before, Vinod and I will be in Artist Alley at Emerald City Comic Con in Seattle March 4th-6th. We will be bringing original art, prints, and sketchbooks, including "Journey," my newest sketchbook. Hope to see you there! No art updates to the site today (sorry) but there will be some soon.

9/28/10: New painting posted in the gallery! The piece is the cover to A Practical Guide to Dragon Magic from Mirrorstone's "Practical Guide" series. I also did a few interiors for the book which I hope to update in the near future. I apologize again to those we missed at Gen Con this year. We plan to be back for 2011.

7/27/10: Important Announcement: Vinod and I will unfortunately not be at Gen Con next week, due to some unforeseen events. We're disappointed that we will not be able to meet with fans and fellow artists, and sincerely hope to be back next year. Anyone that had planned to stop by our table at Gen Con that is still interested in original art, prints or sketchbooks is welcome to contact me or Vinod through e-mail or my Etsy shop.

The next convention we have scheduled is Emerald City Comic Con in Seattle next March.
We apologize for the inconvenience and thank you as always for your support!

6/20/10: I now have a few original paintings listed at my Etsy shop. I can't list everything I have all at once, so if there is a painting you have seen here in my gallery that you're interested in, please feel free to e-mail me and ask me about it. Many of my original pieces are available for sale.

6/14/10: I have a big project going on right now that's still under wraps. Unfortunately that means not as many updates of new art to the site as I'd like. In the meantime, here are some sketch cards I did to help raise money for The Pediatric Oncology Treasure Chest Foundation through the sale of randomized card sets at the Chicagoland Entertainment Collectors Expo. The two bottom cards of the girls with raptors are characters of my own creation; the characters at the top from left to right are Morrigan from Darkstalkers, Guts (and Puck!) from Berserk, and Felicia from Darkstalkers.

5/19/10: It's official: Vinod and I will be attending Gen Con Indy again, making this our 5th year at the convention. Gen Con runs from August 5-8. We will be bringing original art, prints, and sketchbooks, including "Journey," my newest sketchbook. Hope to see you there!

4/21/10: My third sketchbook is finally finished! The cover illustration is available for viewing in the gallery! You can buy the sketchbook here or at my Etsy shop for $20! Go now! Come on! Do it! Come on, I'm here! Do eeeeet now!
