always seems futile to advertise something local, but worth a shot! I have some seats still open in this Seattle drawing class, maybe you can share it with someone you know in Seattle if you're unable to attend? Thanks! Link below

"cautious care"

this is a self portrait painted during the time my 9 year relationship was ending, and much of the energy I was putting towards salvaging any part of it for the future was met with a lot of pain. I do think it was worth the effort, although much of the potential good from it has yet to materialize.

I'd love some portrait commissions, here's my commission link.

buddy of mine reminded me of this, so here's some closeups and the inks!

here's my sketch that I printed on 6 sheets and taped together, and then an early pencil pass on some vellum. I used a lightbox to go from pencils to the final inks.

If you want to pick up the last 23x16 giclee print from the first run, I have it here, along with some smaller 10x7 ones.

"Galactic Council" This is my Twilight Imperium tribute piece, showing every faction from the space-opera board game meeting for galactic diplomacy. Inks and Digital Color I have 1(!) big giclee print left of this here
