Couldn't resist this little guy.

I'm not a big fan of overly boney dogs, but it's a great bit of practice for tones and shades.

Testing the water

My wife is pretty awesome, but I've never been able to capture her character in my work.

Layering thin films of acrylics might have been the wrong choice. Its's safer but the final result isn't satisfying.

Think the next portrait see a return of thick acrylics. Safe isn't getting results.

Jigsaw Concepts

Mocking up some ideas for the childrens book.

The story is about 60% complete.

Cherry Pop probably won't make the cut.

Adventure Time with Finn and Jake has been eating so much of my time recently. It's pretty fantastic.

Peel back!

After a few weeks hiatus, peel time!

I've no idea where the planet peel concept might go, but looking back at older works, it still feels like some of my best work.

Just a few doodles to set off the acrylics later next week.

The Shiva painting a few weeks back pulled me out of a slump I'd been in for a while. It only seemed right to take another shot at her, but on a larger canvas.

The composition is a little off, but hey, the eyes came out pretty well.
