Birthday Present for Mom…

I’ve been totally keeping this as a secret till I could give it to her today.

As you can see, I put a good amount of pencil shading in before I actually started painting. When doing a portrait I feel that lightly detailed shading gives the finished painting a lot of great depth.

CECE Final Show [recap]

After 11 years CECE has come to an end. I’m really grateful that I have been part of this event; Over the last few years I have met so many wonderful Artists & Guests. There have been very few shows that I’ve done where they take care of you the way that Paul took care of us. I will really miss this show.

Over all I had a pretty good show, got to catch up with Bill & Celest, Cyn Narcisi, Jeff Clark and Jake Reuth. A few of my GenCon Regulars (which also happened to be locals) came to the show. Once the group photos have been posted I’ll repost them here too.

Artwork for Ed of SciFi Cards, I think it’s going to be his promo card for his next show…
5×7 Watercolor, Acrylic & Ink on Arches Hot Press Watercolor Paper.

I will definitely be doing more ‘Pin Up’ type art in the near future.

Up Next:

Shows: I have no definitive plans on any shows, I will post here if I do land a spot. I’m hoping there’s going to be a horror show or two in the next few months. .

Artwork & Commissions: I have several commissions, my MarlaBea Donation & Sketchbook sketches to get done in the next week. Then I’ll be working on artwork for a new ‘samples’ page and booklet. This new direction I believe will be more marketable to the general public, and less specialized as I am now with the Gothic & Fantasy art.
