Through Thin Trees
I feel like this one is the most “Goreyesque” haunting I’ve done so far. The short, arm-like branches and the wavy tree trunks just feel like they have more character than some of my earlier attempts. That said, I found it very difficult to lay down values between the trees and build up the washy […]
Landing I
I’m kinda hoping to make a small series of these stairway landing hauntings. Stairs in old dwellings can suggest all sorts of stories when there’s a restless spirit occupying them. There’s also a lot to like about stairs and what you can do, compositionally, with a nice flight of decaying, winding steps. I don’t even […]
Goreyesque Tinies
Today the world knows of Edward Gorey. As a child, I don’t have any idea what the world might have known of him. All I knew was, I found something magical in a box in a closet.
Counter One Weakness with Another
A Stoic’s Key to Peace of Mind: Seneca on the Antidote to Anxiety Accordingly, weigh carefully your hopes as well as your fears, and whenever all the elements are in doubt, decide in your own favour; believe what you prefer. And if fear wins a majority of the votes, incline in the other direction anyhow, […]
Jake Parker – Minimum Viable Story
I’m putting this here so I don’t lose it, but also because Google Keep doesn’t let me embed a video. This is an approach I’d already come to myself, but Jake makes some amazing points. I’ve been baby-stepping my way up the complexity ladder and getting my “sea legs” under me for a while. I […]
The Art Monster
I Finished the Art Table! I’m calling her Rolling Art Monster and she is a thing of beauty! I can’t even begin to guess what she weighs, but she’s a very functional beast. She’s so heavy, the black caster wheels leave a mark on the floor whenever I move it. After a year, the home […]
Inktober FAIL (but not really)
Did I FAIL to create 31 drawings in October? Yes. Am I beating myself up about it? I’m not. It’s tough to draw every day and my hat is off to everyone who pulled it off. I learned a lot about just letting go and doing something in my sketchbook for the sake of doing […]
I’m A Podcast Co-Host
I was invited to sit in as a co-host to the Nerdy Legion Podcast with Nick Wetmore.
Two Remastered Episodes of Minute Man on HCK
I have posted two colored and remastered pages from my 1999 superhero spoof Minute Man on the Hard Cheap Knock website. You can see them both here. Episode 2, intended for Issue 7, is being seen for the very first time. All colors were done on a Samsung Android tablet using the S Pen and Autodesk Sketchbook […]
