Got the Iron Man soundtrack coming my way--movie tunes make such wonderful music to inspire my art. The entire chapter of "Rats in the Cellar" was inspired by a short bit of music on the "Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets" DVD (the track that goes with the "Extras" screen). With some heavy combat sequences coming up in "Bare Necessities," I'm looking forward to giving Iron Man a chance to rev up my muse like nobody's business...

"Bare Necessities" continues. I'm working on pages 18 - 21 right now, and it looks like I'll just keep cruising on right to the end of the chapter. That should be about mid-June. After that, who knows? I hope to jump into the next chapter very quickly, but I think I'll have an oil painting or two to do, along with a couple of ink drawings.

I'm thinking about retitling this section "Re-found," since the deviants whose works I post here have all been in my watch for some time, overlooked in the hustle and bustle of my life. ~atomsanddust does some amazing work with color and texture, her drawings show amazing confidence and patience and a strong imagination. Check out the thumbnails below to see what I mean.
Then go pay her gallery a visit.

I have known John, a.k.a. ~john33 for about 30 years. We played "kick the can" together before the neighborhood was filling up with VCRs and video game systems. I never knew he was so good at photography until just a few years ago. Frankly, I've never thought Utah was much to look at (too much sage brush), but John's photos prove me utterly wrong each time he posts something new. My wife favorites more of his work than she does of mine...
Check out his stuff.

The quickest, easiest way is to buy a print on DA (see below). Or, if prints aren't your thing, you can purchase my self-published book called Black Canvas I: Art from the Shadows. See the next section for more about it. Beyond that, I’ve been published in a few books, including Sword and Sorcery: How to Draw Fantastic Fantasy Adventure Comics by Bryan Baugh, and A Life of Ravens by Alex Ness. Both books can be purchased on Amazon.com, and are full of awesome artwork and writing by some very talented people.

This is a collection of 42 ink drawings which I sell personally via Paypal or money order for $10 plus shipping. If you’re interested in obtaining a copy, just send me a note. Above this is a glimpse at the pieces that the book contains, most of which can be found here in my dA gallery.

Here's my prints page. [link] I’ve got about 20 things available, but I’m trying to put more up. I think dA does a pretty good and fairly inexpensive job of printing and shipping things. I’ve purchased a bunch of prints here, myself, which I’ll show off in the next section.

Most of these things now decorate my home, and I’m quite happy to have them. The artists are great, and their works hit a chord in myself and my wife. My thanks to all, and to dA for the opportunity!

I get a lot of people asking me if I do commission work, and the answer I generally give is “Not usually.” Still, it doesn’t hurt to ask, and I don’t really charge too much for them, since money isn’t the real motivator for my art. However, the catch is that I can only rarely force an image into my head, and if it doesn’t pop on its own, drawing it is like pulling my teeth out. So, in the end, it’s best just to suggest your idea, and let it percolate in my mind, and if something shows up, you get your commission. If not, I’m sorry. Don’t hold your breath waiting for it, though…
