Oh geez, I'm woefully behind on everything lately...

I made a birthday card for my grandmother, a hand painted robin on stonehenge paper...you can't tell, but it's double sided and stitched along the bottom and open along the top to form a pocket to contain little birthday wishes :)



Also, Ken over at Boxed in Design was kind enough to ask me to answer a few questions - you can read about 'em here!

A mystery of sorts:

Oh hey!

I made another Wallpaper for Erika Brouwer's Canvas Collective. Featuring a little ghostly...man...thing. I made another surprise one, but you'll just have to wait until that comes out, ho ho.

If you're interested in participating, contact Erika! She's a super gal. And she lives in GERMANY. (irrelevant information)

These days, most of what I do is a combination of traditional painting followed by a lot of messing around in photoshop and surprisingly enough, the paint bucket and dissolve, two things I swore off as "amateur hour" long ago. Blast!

Hey there, persistent headache! Can't help but notice you hanging out in my brain.

#10 of 10!

#3 of 10: Red Face.

#1 of 10 days in a row of blogposts:

I've started painting again, after a brief veering stint in baking. Starting small...watching documentaries and mindlessly sketch-painting.



Half traditionally painted, half photoshop.

Everything comes together!

I've been bouncing around this Ghost Wizard idea for about 2 years now and am slowly fleshing out ideas and worlds. Ideally, one day I'd love to see this turned into an adventure-style game but literally do not have a single clue as to how that sort of thing happens.

So for now, I paint.

Presenting: Lantern Lagoon!



The original painting is about...18"x24"? Acrylic on Stonehenge.

Late Wallpapers

Oh man, I totally forgot to post these up when they were made, but here goes!

I made a couple wallpapers for my friend Erika Brouwer's wallpaper blog, Canvas Collective. The blog has really taken off since its beginnings and is boasting an outta control lineup in the coming days. She's open to submissions, so check it out either to download or contribute!

Sketchbook Paintings

Yeesh, amazing what a good sketchbook can do for productivity...!

I recently picked up Life on Blu-ray and have been sketch-painting in acrylics with it as reference. It is nearly impossible to screw up a painting with the BBC on your side, fyi.

Abandoned

Unfinished.

There's something about mossy forests...!

Reverse

...and in white, because I'm noncommittal like that. (This is much closer to the original painted version)

By Accident

For the first time in an alarmingly long time, paint on paper. (...edited in Photoshop! Cheater alert!)

Things Get Sinister

Untitled Projects

It's all going somewhere!

Wallpaper

My good friend Erika Brouwer recently created a wallpaper blog wherein you can download artist-created wallpapers!

I created this wallpaper, which you can download here:

Things are a'brewing!
