Imagined Realities Exhibit

Hi guys! For those of you who are in Maryland, there's a small gallery showing running from October 19-November 21st that I have the honor of being a part of! If you've got the time, please go and check it out... I'm flattered to be shown alongside four other talented artists Piero Macgowan, Sean Andrew Murray, and John Jude Palencar at the Community College of Baltimore County (Catonsville)! I hear they'll also have Bastion on display...!

Here's the flyer, for those who are considering attendance! Very disappointed I couldn't make the artist panel being held tonight, but I'm certain Piero, Sean and John have fantastic things to say if you'd like to attend... Tonight's panel flyer:

Many thanks to Nicole Buckingham and Erik Miller for inviting me to be a part of this event!

Knight-Rat-Thing V.2

I drew the same knight-rat-person-shield-skeletor thing again in a DIFFERENT STYLE. Dun dun dun! Happy early-Halloween friends :D!

And the sketch it started with...! Maybe it's cuter in the sketch version... -_-.

Droorings of the evening!

As I grow as an artist I find it's become easy to lose touch of the instinctive, gut-driven method of creation... I'm internally flabbergasted to find that sometimes I stop myself from sitting down and drawing the things I just want to draw. Art becomes cerebral, which is not a bad thing necessarily but I think there's definitely a balance somewhere in between. 

ANYWAY. The above was originally just a doodley head-shot... I'm not sure if I like the expanded-canvas version better but hey...it is what it is. Here's a version of the old shot!

DEATH KNIGHT KATANA RAT PERSON WITH A CROSS ON SHIELD!

Evening Doodles

The Brother's Grimm "Frog Prince; or Iron Henry" is...a pretty dark story!? I recently downloaded the Kindle version of the Brother's Grimm fairytale collection fully intending to read the original tale of Snow White... to my surprise the book has about 200 fairytales (awesome!) which immediately inspired me to start on a little backburner project... I start with Chapter one: "The Frog Prince"; and hope to draw my way through the fairytales with as loose and crazy an interpretation as I feel like. AWESOME. Let's see how far I get!

The Frog Prince was a two-evening adventure ;D. I was pretty surprised because as far as I could tell, the fairytale was teaching us to lie, be spoiled and violent in order to become rich, powerful and famous... I guess the Brothers Grimm were not far off! Kissing the frog has nothing to do with the original story...go figure!
