This is the drawing for the next painting in the "Winter" series.  It is also 40" x 13".  Thats kinda all I want to say about this piece at this point.  So see ya next time.

This is the finished "Winter: Spirit" piece that I showed the drawing for a couple months ago.  I'm quite happy with it, so happy with it that I am going to do a series based on the winter theme.  My next piece will be the same size (40" x 13") then followed by a piece that will go along the top and bottom.  Anyway hope you all like it.

This is a watercolor still life I did for my girlfriend's mother, Eva, for Channuka.  It was the first time in a very long time that I was able to actually set up a still life and work from life.  Of course most of my work is fantasy based or involves things that would not be possible to paint without taking photos and working from them, so I guess I shouldn't feel bad that I don't do this more often, but it was a really nice change of pace.  Also it was a lot of fun doing more detailed work with watercolor.  Most of my past couple watercolors have been mostly washes and have a more improvised style to them, with just a hint of the level of detail I was trained with.  Very nice to get out that #2 Kolinsky Sable and and get into the more rendering aspect of the medium.

Amazon link for Time Will Tell This is the first book I was lucky enough to do the cover illustration for.  The book has a very pulp-ish quality to it, it includes: time travel, alternate timelines, extraterrestrials, cover-ups, and plots to end the Nazi regime.  I hope you all love it, I know I did.  Time Will Tell will be officially out January 10th 2010, but you can pre-order it now via the link at the top of this post.

This is the next piece I will be working on. It is more a depiction of the feelings and sounds that come to mind when I think about winter. I am trying to keep this piece as far from religion as possible. I hope that comes through. Anyway this will probably take me a while to finish, still haven't mounted it yet...

This is the image I did for Time Will Tell, a book written by Eddie Upnick and published by Eloquent Books. It should be on the market in January 2010. This is a really great book about time travel, among other very sci-fi things. I am very excited and am very proud to have this be my first book cover.

This is my second attempt at a Wizards of the Coast sample. It is a goblin watching over the castle where he resides. If you look closely you will see that instead of a candle in the lantern, there is a glowing humming bird that is used to light the way. I'm quite proud of this piece, hope you all like it too.
