You Tube, the Final Frontier....

Did this little number over the weekend to use as my cover image on Facebook.  You can also watch my process with a time lapse video of the painting at:  http://youtu.be/HFE8IkTdv_c

In the Long Lost Valley...

So, I'm online today and see a blog ticker with my entry from February 11th, which was a looooong time ago!  So I thought I'd best let folks know that I'm still around!  

I've been busy doing lots of things here and there for lots of different folks.  Above is a draft for a future color piece that I'm monkeying with.  Also gearing up for some actual gaming via Google +!  Excitement!

Hope everyone's having a great day!

Back on Patrol

Finally getting back to getting some drawing and painting done.  Still about a month out from getting to go back to my day job,  so I'm making time to draw each day, which you think would be second nature.   This one is kind of a dress rehearsal for some upcoming sci fi work.  

Props to BFRPG

It seems like so long ago, but Chris Gonnerman was one of the first people to use my art in one of his products.  That project was his Basic Fantasy RPG, which was one of the first of the retro-clones.  One of BFRPG's big selling points, besides being just a darned good game, was that it and all ir's supporting materials, are free for the downloading.  So, thanks to Chris for my break in game illustration, and for continuing to release awesome material for all our enjoyment!

Still here..

Well, it's been awhile since my last post.  I've undergone procedures for a collapsed lung, and then I ended up with a post operative infection and a slow healing wound.  Ouch ouch ouch.  But, things are  on the upswing and I'm feeling more like myself everyday.  Now back to drawing critters and such.  Here's a BEM to brighten your Monday.  Unless, of course, he needs your women....

Rocketing into 2013

Longest hiatus from posting ever? Possibly! But, a lot has happened since September.

In September I started my hiatus from my full time job to concentrate on chemotherapy treatments, which were making me way to tired to get anything productive done. How did that go? Well, several rounds of chemo and two surgeries later, I am once again cancer free! Didn't see that one coming last year!

So, what now? Well, I'm still recovering from my last surgery adventure, but hopefully I will be more active again, art wise. I received a Pogo Connect pressure sensitive stylus for my iPad for Christmas, and I love it. Best digital art investment since the iPad and I highly recommend it.

Other than that, who can say? More cool projects await this year, and maybe I will finally get motivated to get some personal projects done that have been floating around.

Ok, enough babble! Happy 2013!

Happy Hobbit Day!

I know it's just hype to sell a movie, but I like it anyway!
