I can’t tell if painting/illustrating good anatomy is harder or easier at life size. I’m definitely pulling my hair out at the third-ish hour into this arm.

Well into my next big project. This 10’x20’ish mural will be going into a renovated theater lobby in Southeast Portland. Acrylic on polytab sheets.

Happy Birthday to Boris Vallejo. One of my earliest inspirations. His pencil work is still some of my fav art. My piece (‘The Return’ graphite) was created for a Vallejo tribute show.

Well done! Here’s a recent pencil piece that I am currently painting. Elric and Red Sonja crossover.

Pencil drawings of Elric and Red Sonja on a tall ship battling an enormous kraken .

Finally. Elric and Red Sonja taking on the otherworldly, gargantuan Kraken/Squid/Octopus. So big. My inspiration was any scene from Pirates on deck shot, everything is just exploding. Good stuff. What to call it...Gargantupus? Private commission, Graphite on Bristol, 11x17.

I don’t know. I’m getting near zero anything over here. It’s quickly becoming an ‘extra’ post after the other two. 🤷🏽
