“Mononoke”

I am sharing new artwork every day this week and to kick things off, here is my piece inspired by Hayao Miyazaki’s, “Princess Mononoke.”  This film is exceptional in that it deals with the complexities of humans coexisting with nature while still pursuing technological progress.  This painting is inspired by the mask worn by San, […]

A “Gravity Falls” Halloween

Today I suffer from the post-Halloween blues. We had an amazing night last night and I am so pleased with the result of our Gravity Falls theme this year.  My best friend came over to help me transform our front yard into Gruncle Stan’s roadside attraction, The Mystery Shack.  I made a few “wonders” and […]

“Hush”

Happy Halloween! I have a lot of work to do in preparation for tonight’s festivities (i.e., I still need to make Chipper’s costume), so, in the meantime, please enjoy this spooky painting titled, “Hush.”  This painting is my take on the best “big bads” in all the Buffyverse, The Gentlemen.  The villains of the Sn4Ep10 […]

“Demogorgon”

Season 2 of “Stranger Things” debuts tomorrow and I couldn’t be more excited!  It is easily the best thing Netflix has ever produced and definitely one of the best episodic shows ever created.  It is full of the 1980’s nostalgia that appeals to people like me – a nerdy, science fiction-obsessed, adventure-seeking kid who grew […]

“Night Magic”

“Night Magic” is currently on display at City Arts Factory in Downtown Orlando, FL as part of their “Dia de los Muertos & Monster Factory” shows.  I am very pleased with the final result because it started as a completely different painting! When I have an idea for a painting, I typically do a sketch […]

Vincent

THANK YOU to all those who attended my recent lecture celebrating the life and work of Vincent van Gogh.  From Winter Garden to Mount Dora, 127 people bonded over their shared admiration for “the artist’s artist” and who I think is the most human human being to walk this planet.  He painted himself into each […]

Bill Cipher

I promised to showcase some of my recent spooky-themed work this week, but due to acceptance into a show, I’m going to delay those posts.  In the meantime, here’s a new painting in a similar vein.  I was thinking a lot about villains and the idea of monsters or a “big bad” like you see […]

Solo “Soot Sprite”

I am gearing up for the holidays by painting an assortment of smaller pieces perfect for gift-giving.  Artwork makes a wonderfully unique and personal gift and it helps support artists, not corporations.  I encourage you to seek out the artists in your area and consider buying from them this holiday season instead of big box […]
