Illustrations...

In the past month and a half I've been taking on illustration jobs for Deloitte University Press.

It's a little outside the realm of what I normally do ( as far as subject matter, ) but I find it gives me a challenge I enjoy. 

Translating business economics into visual elements is a first for me. Sometimes it's good to throw one's self completely out of the normal routine. 

I discovered I could indeed paint a ship in a bottle. 

There's no stopping me now.

( Insert evil laugh here. )

 I most certainly have my work cut out for me for the next two months. 

Finished!

Sent off my pieces last week to Norfolk for an upcoming show at  ArtGallery.  It looks like a blurb is up on HamptonRoads about the show as well.

"Uitbarsting" and "Smoke Breather."

Been feeling a bit lazy in the brain lately - This usually occurs after I finish a piece. Re-adjusting and arranging ideas. Time to get back to work.

One more miniature animal.

Miniature animals.

Working on a group of small paintings of animals for an upcoming little show/sale in my neck of the woods. Putting ghostly things on hold just for a bit. 

"Scout Hall" is a very cool little location here in Bremerton. A couple of friends with a wonderful eye for design and all things lovely have converted a vintage Scout meeting hall into a wonderful venue for shows, dinners and just hanging out with good people. 

I'll have a total of 8 animal watercolors available. 

And of course, I'm always sketching, regardless of what I'm painting. Here's the latest from the sketchbook.

Lastly, it looks as if my work has made it onto the Hi-Fructose Magazine Blog!

When mountains smoke...

It has been quite a while since I've updated and I do apologize.  Regardless of lack of updates, I have been working on a series of paintings in hopes of presenting a decent body of work to the world. Here are a couple of pics of the things I've been working on. 

                             

Also, it seems I may have something in a local publication in the near future!

And finally, I had the pleasure of sitting for photographer Daniel Carrillo for these ambrotypes.
