Just heard Drew Struzan passed away 😞 His incredible work has given me and countless others so much awe, joy and inspiration!

I had posters of his work as a teen, I began using color pencils because I thought he used them too. Always inspired by him. Just utterly heart broken.

RIP Drew Struzan.

A landscape painting of a birdseye view of green farmland and large white clouds hanging low over the fields. One cloud hiding among the others is shaped like a four-point star.

Nandor the Relentless

It's spooky season, which means it's time to post my favourite vampires...

This was done in watercolour and acryla gouache, quite small at 4x6" or so I think?

James C Mulligan is going after vids and people who call him out for selling AI images. He’s using copyright as an excuse to get them removed, which is so baffling considering he’s a serial tracer. He has claimed official Bambi background art as his own, but there’s so much more.

Golden Embers - watercolour and digital, 2015 (I think?)

It's been a long time since I posted this vengeful queen. Back when my style was a little more abstract and weird.

A queen with a RBF stands with her hands on a sword's hilt. Her skirt is an abstract view into a kingdom on fire.

I think it's just for players - or at least, you have to buy a pass to get in. There are usually a few vendors and there will be a few other artists with me.

I haven't spoken to F2F about it, but I'll keep it in mind! I'd love to be back in Toronto.

Inktober from a few years ago

I still feel this one in my bones.

A woman's face in the bloom of a rose. Her own thorns close tightly around her throat.
