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, […]
Read more "“Mononoke”"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.

A few years ago, a local art show was organized to celebrate all things puppets and puppetry. It was an incredible show that filled an entire warehouse in an industrial part of town. This show featured some of the best and most […]
Read more "Pepe the King Prawn"This painting is a combination of two things I love with a passion – The Muppets and Wes Anderson films. A few years ago, Stardust Video and Coffee in Winter Park, FL hosted a Wes Anderson-themed art show. When the idea hit me for a pop culture mash-up (another thing I love with a passion), […]
