"Type of Action"
Pen and Ink

"We are attempting to nullify the mistakes, but I can't afford any white-out in office - and since we're typing up action all the time. We are proud to acknowledge that we're accomplishing goals with (more black ink) the best black ink."

End the war, end world hunger, bailouts, loans, debt, health-care. Where is the results?

Where Art Thou?

Where Art Thou?

"Where ART thou? Come again and wrap your hands around me. Feel me with thou radiant jubilation and thou caress me with ye herbal scented hair. I will create ye my love an art lullaby. For it is us, a tao, are thou?

Is a concept I thought of in the mid hours before midnight and I had this idea to create a scene of an artist finding his inspiration. I wanted to play with the concept of 'Where are thou?' in a word play of Where art tao? I felt that saying thou and depicting it in the image would relay to the observer that thou is tao and ART is are. To the point where the actual message means 'Where are you?'. There is more symbolical meaning within the title and illustration. Enjoy.

Sign

It started as a daydream and then a sketch. Then later words started to influence the direction of the composition. These words Reality, Morality, Hope, and Pride. I couldn't choose either, because the meaning in this peace is multiple. The title was originally Municipal Order of Morality, but I couldn't satisfy my conscience on just one concept. I felt sign was all I could say.

Sign n. 1. Something that indicates a fact, quality, etc.; token. 2. A gesture that conveys information, etc.

This Winter Help Came

This was entered in the "Winter is Magic" Contest and it was nominated in Third Place.

I chose this concept to show how winter is magic. I wanted something more realistic, because it did happen. We all choose to see magic differently and in this piece the boy being helped by the light reflecting on the broken snow globe is the perspective I chose. There is a lot of symbolism, starting with the dust particles falling, even between the broken wall which you're looking through is also in a shape of a star.

Amy Goes Print

Amy goes print! I'm exciting she's now in hardcover. Purchase your copies at www.Blurb.com immediately, before we pull it off the site. We will be making minor quick adjustments for the official publication for the next print. We are glad to present Amy in first print! Julie the author and I have edited the pages and sent them to Blurb for print in softcover and hardcover. I will admit offhand the first edition is what we called "The Green Copies". A small incidental fallacy we will proudly admit as a limited edition to our esteeming anticipatory fandom. So if you happen to purchase one of these limited green copies we have published, it's assured you will have a valuable book in your hands, once the proceeds of our book we have imagined springs to life. I'm very proud of this project! This was a wonderful idea to create in those two months and watch sprite from the depths, which it did, a two-print page with an outline for Amy's quest was all it had begun. I had a few doubts in the beginning, but after some sleepless nights with caffeinated teas I was hopeful for a completion. So order one! We will gladly sign it for you. In the meantime, we will have a colorful book ready and published that will be available to the public. We are in consideration in processing publications with an independent or corporate publisher. I'll keep you advised on the updates.

Surfs up! It's my birthday.

It's my birthday today! I'm excited besides the fact it's looks gloomy and dreary looking outside, I'm just glad I finished my work in time for a weekend holiday for my 26th birthday.
I finished the inks for the children book I'm illustrating, Amy Goes Surfing written by Julie Labossiere. The link will lead you to a sneak peak of all the pages I illustrated. The book will be published and sold on either of these sites Lulu or blurb.com. I will post you a link when it is online.
Now that the pencils and inks are completed the next portion of the work is to add color. But first, I need to take a break and marinate in a hot tub of my own primordial goo, as I will watch my fingers wrinkle up into tiny flesh dunes.
