Claudia and Robert

Good morning people. I'm caffeinated, happy and ready to blog. Have a look at a wip for Claudia and Robert, which shows them as samurai warriors. I love illustrating Japanese armor; it's detailed, often colorful and pretty much an art form in itself. Thanks again for this commission, guys.

Magic Card Proof Sketches

On my website I sell Proofs of Magic Cards I have illustrated. For those who don't know, a Magic Card proof is a card with printing on the front and nothing on the back. These were produced to test colors when Wizards of the Coast originally printed these cards. They generously sent me some of these proofs for almost every card I did for them. In some cases I only received a few dozen proof cards; in others I got more than a hundred. Proofs, by definition, are limited in number and I have been selling them as collectors' items. I also sell sketches on the backs of proof cards, which take ink and marker very nicely. I've posted some sketches I drew on proof backs below. I'm grateful to Jared, who purchased the proofs and commissioned the sketches. Thanks!

Badge for Bleis

Happy December, everyone. This morning's post is a badge commission I accepted at FurFright this year. Bleis commissioned this as a badge, resulting in a simple design, but it came out so well I am likely to sell it as an 8"x10" print too (sans name, of course). Thanks again, Bleis!

Home from MWFF

Good Evening, folks. I'm resting up at home after Mid-West Fur Fest. I usually don't blog the day after a show but I didn't want to wait to thank all the people who helped make this a terrific show for me. Patrons, friends, and show staff alike were absolutely wonderful.

Also, I want to follow up on the promise I made last week and show off Edbain's finished commission. I had to post the piece at a reduced size to show the entire image; to see it larger, click on the picture. I sold out of prints at the show but I will more prints available at FC in January. If you can't wait that long, drop me a line.

Storm Howler

Hello, folks. I've been preparing for MWFF. One of my newest pieces is a commission. This I will post it after the show, after the patron has had the chance to see it in person. This piece I did because the idea popped into my head and asked to be painted. I've had some requests for a new, hand painted wolf so maybe that prompting had something to do with it. In any case, enjoy. If you are planning to attend MWFF, please drop by the dealers' room and have a look. Both the original painting and prints will be available at my table.

Friday Post

Hi! This is an unexpected Friday post to replace an unexpected Thursday post--which I took down because I made an error on my patrons' names. Here it is again, done correctly; the pencil sketches for Kevin and Stacy. These will be digitally colored and turned into custom Dragon Storm cards. Thanks again!
