Weirdling

An older image now, from 1995- WEIRDLING. Commisioned originally as a cover for Death Rattle, from my graphic novel.

Ink and gouache on cold press watercolor. In the original art, the blue is surprisingly vibrant.

The Last Gorgons

The drawing evolved over a period of months until it finally clicked. The title actually reflects a desire to put a cap on my Medusa obsession...

Ink and gouache. 2010.

Strange Aeons Winter Issue Cover Art 2010

I created this Cthonic winter solstice image for STRANGE AEONS magazine. It was also chosen for exhibition in the Frank Frazetta Tribute at Gallery Provocatuer.

"Big Barda and Mister Miracle" Finished painting

Here is the final painting, pending approval from the client. Below here are two earlier stages:

Colors washed or scumbled in. All that's left to do is the blacks, tints, and the finishing touches.

The monochrome stage in blue and raw umber.

Wizards of the Coast, Dungeons And Dragons and Forgotten Realms

My work for Dungeons and Dragons Forgotten Realms line must be my most seen, while never providing the freedom creatively that the Palladium Books work, still was and continues to be a place where I can show off my loveof classic techniques and picturemaking. All images below copyright Wizards of the Coast.

Palladium Books

Palladium books was instrumental in starting my carreer, providing steady work in my early years allowing me to develop my craft and my dicipline, and a fertile playground in which my ideas could grow largely unfettered by editorial constraints- More often then not, the game texts were written to fit the art I felt like turning in, rather then vice versa. The only drawback was that the work was done for hire, which means all these images are copyright to Palladium books and my friend Kevin Siembieda.

Children of Cthulhu

More Lovecraftian madness, an image that shook me out of a long creative slump and sparked a short creative bender.

Star Wars tm

Another Star Wars image from a game book, copyright Lucasfilm.

Star Wars tm

An image from a recent Clone Wars role playing game, copyright WOC and Lucasfilm.

Spawn of Cthulhu

Here's an experiment, pale colored pencils on the black paper that comes as a cover sheet on the watercolor blocks I use, inspired by a similar technique Wayne Barlow employs in some of his work.
