Gravity Falls

“New Art Week” continues with this fun little set of paintings inspired by one of my favorite shows – “Gravity Falls.”  I know I have raved about this show in the past, but it really is a great show.  Meant for kids, there are a number of inside jokes only adults will get.  Plus, it […]

“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, […]

“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 […]

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 […]

“Surprise!”

I am so excited that October is finally upon us and while it’s not much cooler here in Florida, it is definitely getting more creative.  To celebrate October’s arrival, please enjoy this little painting titled, “Surprise!”  It is a sweet, little, baby facehugger jumping out of its alien pod – perfect for this dark and […]

Tree Spirit & No-Face

These little paintings measure 4” x 4” each and are, of course, continuing my fascination with the films of Hayao Miyazaki.  “Tree Spirit” depicts one of the many tiny spirits who live in the forest in the film, “Princess Mononoke.”  They are indicators of a happy, healthy and thriving environment.  As the forest is destroyed, […]
