The Dragons of Varna

While I will always enjoy the modern portrayal of Dragons, (such as the on the covers of the Dragonriders of Pern & Eragon, for example), this statue that was recently installed above a public fountain in Varna, Bulgaria, is an atypical representation of Dragons that I find refreshing.

Nolan Commission

This was a fun commission for a couple I met at Rose City Comicon 2013. They wanted a piece featuring their cat Nolan in the same setting as a piece I did a few years ago called "Gales Forest". Super handsome cat, and their dog Trevor can be seen in the background with a sleeping dragon.

Taurus Deity

Taking this sketch, I took the opposite representations associated with the cow/bull and merged them. (Beast vs. Provider) In this case the minotaur and the sacred cows of India and hindu art are represented here by the composition, stance of the figure, double bladed axe, labyrinth at her feet, and taurus constellation. Moo.

Minotaur Deity Sketch

While D&Ding a few weeks ago, I was flipping through one of the many scattered rulebooks while one of my party members argued politics with the local guardsmen. I was taken by the minotaurs in an illustration and started doodling and got this angelic minotauress:

D&D Fanart

On our D&D quest (with a halfling, two elves, a dwarf, and a tiefling), our tiefling character came to posses a magical starfish. Having a keen sense of business, our tiefling periodically attempted to sell the magical starfish. No one took up his offer, and after a time became a topic of jest in our party. So I decided to make a piece to commemorate not only this aspect of our quest, but of our trip to Boston, to which the quest took place.

OryCon 32, Nov. 12-14, 2010

Was like having a badass cup of tea.

It seemed like a smaller version of Norwescon, and I still sold a reasonable amount of art and prints, as did the majority of the other artists. My "Lily" and "Surfacing" originals have found new homes, and several prints were purchased. Got a couple of ribbons for my Bullfly piece.

I got to sit front and center in the exhibit hall and draw on my lovely cintiq too. Felt more like I was showing off a wacom product more so than my artwork, but I did end up meeting several swell people.

Also stayed with my family in the Portland area during this event, and I got to meet and hold my three-week-old niece.
