Halloween is almost here, and the newest Moonlit March painting is nearly complete! 🎃 While I put the finishing touches on it, here’s a peek back at where the series began.

Want to hear about my INDIE BOOKS? No? Here they are anyway.
I write oldschool fantasy defined by memorable characters and sincere storytelling, as well as nonfiction werewolf research/werewolf studies. (I have sci-fi & more on the way, too. I'm always working!)

Witchy Yard Sale 🧹🧙🍂 #art

A digital illustration featuring a witch themed yard sale. A granny witch (on the left) shows a crystal ball to young witch customer. We see a few small dragons scattered around the painting. Two small dragons in the foreground are helping out with chores. Two small dragons resting beside each witch stare at each other curiously. We see witchy items: potions and candles with price tags on tables.

I was messing around with my set up for an upcoming event and Brioche came in to browse my wares. It was very cute so I decided to paint an approximation.

A brown and dark blue siamese cat with white paws is in a museum or gallery looking at art. There's a portrait of a blue and peach colored spaniel, a painting of a stick, the corner of a triangular ear, a long yellow and brown dachshund, and the big painting which the cat is staring at is of a smiling yellow lab under a tree. The cat looks somewhat unimpressed. It's possible he was looking for the food court.

Happy Equinox!! Spooky Season is finally open 🍂👻🍁💀🎃

I'm so excited to show you guys what I've been planning for them. It's really a very simple storyline, just a very predictable sequence, but I'm pouring my heart here.

Look forward to October 1st 🩸🦇✨️

Earlier this month, I had the pleasure of starting this piece live in Atlanta during my painting demo at #DragonCon. It was such a fun experience to work in front of an audience and explore the initial layers of the painting in real time. Thank you to everyone who showed up!⁠ #oilpaintingdemo

A full page of witch and vampire doodles ✨️🦇🩸

I'll try to create a little story with them and use Inktober to hone my storytelling skills. Nothing fancy, just a small sequence of events. Sounds easy enough, right?
*nervous laughter*

Wish me luck 🤞🏻🍀
