WORK IN PROGRESS



I managed to get a little more done on this piece. You can probably see where it's going. It is progressing slowly because I haven't had much time for it between commissions, but that has been kind of satisfying in its own way.

I've been here and there. I've drawn a lot of pictures. I've written a bit, too. I'm not good at this self-promotion thing. Look, you want to know about me? just visit these websites. Okay?

MONDAY MISCELLANEA - JUNE 6

This will be the last MONDAY MISCELLANEA for a while. An issue with my computer forced me to get rid of a lot of files that I had spent years collecting. I was surprised to discover that my image morgue contained over 40,000 images and took up almost 12 gigabytes of space on my hard drive.

I saved back this baker's dozen of images.

IT'S FRIDAY AND I HAVE A WORK IN PROGRESS...



Okay, no prizes for guessing where this one is set. This is an increasingly rare personal piece. I've gone back to working with a Corel Painter brush (one that I swiped from Jason Chan!) and I'm hoping to do this all on one layer against this dark grey ground. There will be a main figure and originally I wasn't going to have a fantasy element, but then this idea hit me and... well you'll see.


I'm doing this while juggling a couple of other commissions, so it's not going to be done anytime soon. I'll be checking in on it a few more times before the final reveal.

MONDAY MISCELLANEA - MAY 30 -- ADDENDUM


I had to add this picture. I just saw it. It's by artist David Palumbo and I am absolutely in love with it (or maybe it's with her).

Either way, she knows her enemy and looks pretty handy with that big knife.

UPDATE: You can't actually leave a comment at ALL PULP so just leave a comment here and I'll pass it on to Josh.

MONDAY MISCELLANEA - VICTORIA DAY EDITION

I know Monday is almost over but here in BC it is a holiday. It is Victoria Day where we celebrate the birth of the great unamused monarch herself.



So in honour of Victoria Day I present a special edition featuring my favourite Victorian painter John William Waterhouse.
