Swipe 3 Opening on Wednesday 3/7/12

Hey everyone,
It's been a while but I wanted to let you all know that I will be in a group show at Splattered Columns starting March 7th. The opening is from 6pm-8pm that night. Should be a lot of fun. It's a small space on the 5th floor of 491 Broadway in soho right above Broome St. Since it's small that means all the work will be extra good. Please come by to show your support. Swipe no. 3 will be sold for $25 and the cd that corresponds with it will be $10. My "Billy Goats Gruff" will be showing, if you've always wanted to see it in person, then come check it out. Ok have a great day, all.

Smilodon and Elasmotherium

I have just finished another two paintings in my ongoing Prehistoric Creatures series. The most recent four in the series have all been mammals that lived millions of years after the dinosaurs went extinct. I plan to do seven of these mammals and then go back to dinosaurs, maybe group them into Prehistoric Creatures Series 1, Series 2, etc. They are all for sale, but they have been snatched up quick, so if anyone as inquiries on pricing, please email me at owweberillustration@gmail.com .

Frostbite and Irish Elk

Yesterday, I received my contributor copy of Elder Sign: Omens of Ice which holds the painting "Frostbite" that I painted for it last year. The idea behind it was that it was a man who had been frostbitten in his hands and face, in a New England town in the early 20th c., I believe. The AD wanted him screaming and being brought into an ambulance. I love doing this type of stuff, but I'm never given these types of assignments, so I was very excited. And a word to the wise, don't google image search "frostbite", it's truly awful to look at. Here is the sketch that I came up with: Frostbite Sketch, 12" x 8", Pencil. The AD thought the screaming mouth was a bit too much, so I closed it and went ahead with the painting. Here is the final: Frostbite , 12" x 8", oil on paper on masonite, 2015. ©Fantasy Flight Games Another piece that I just finished and then immediately sold was my "Irish Elk" piece. This animal w
