Inktober 2023 Day #6: Golden (Ratio)
INKTOBER 2023 Day #6: GOLDEN. “Leonardo Da Vinci has always been one of my favorite Renaissance era artists.

His anatomical illustrations were fascinating. He
Inktober 2023 Day #5: (Bit) Map
INKTOBER 2023 Day #5: (BIT) MAP. “Not a ‘map’, but a ‘bitmap’. Yeah. This one was tedious. Don’t get me wrong, I’m happy with the off-the-wall interpretation, but, ouch. There may have been an easier way to pull this off. I probably DIDN’T need to grid the page off every sixteenth of an inch

Inktober 2023 Day #3: Path
INKTOBER 2023 Day #3: PATH. “Art is weird. I’ve always been a nostalgic kinda guy. Even from a very young age, I remember experiencing a longing for moments in time that couldn’t be recaptured. I would feel it when I would get to the end of a good book, remembering the beginning of the

Inktober 2023 Day #1: Dream
INKTOBER 2023 Day #1: DREAM. “Inktober 2023 kicks off with a repeat prompt from Inktober 52 2023: dream. I’m not complaining, the whole concept of ‘dreams’ is pretty big for me. In addition to having some pretty vivid and wacky dreams, I’ve always been a daydreamer, and that has been a huge inspiration for
Inktober 52 2023 Day #39: Dream
INKTOBER 52 2023 Day #39: DREAM. ”Here’s another less-than-obvious interpretation of a prompt. Meet Guan and Jeeto, two members of the ‘Rogue Dream Squad’ from my forever-in-the-works graphic novel ‘Revery’. The Cobblies live in another dimension, existing symbiotically with dreams.

INKTOBER 52 2023 Day #38: HARVEST. “Okay, this one is going to need a bit of an explanation. I know I try to steer clear of the obvious, but I think I’m nowhere near obvious this time. I had a hard time deciding what angle to come at this prompt from. I just wasn’t

Go get one here and then leave a review: https://www.amazon.com/dp/1733734716?ref_=ast_author_dp) I also added several related shirts to my Etsy store.

Odin’s Giant Sequoia
Since it was finally received, I can post this image I worked on a few weeks ago of a giant sequoia. It was a gift (in the form of a tshirt and a hoodie) for my tree-loving middle son. I have always loved trees, particularly redwoods and giant sequoias. The fact that they are
