Black Dragon, Black Sun

Last week I learned how much fun block printing is. I also have no less than approximately 2 billion b-movie horror art ideas concerning the upcoming eclipse, and completely beside myself with nerdy goblin glee over which spooky eclipse idea I should pursue next.

"Death Is Not A 10"

What started as an illustration sketch for "Masque of the Red Death" quickly took on a life of its own. Granted, there's been no shortage of disaster scenarios to serve as inspiration.

Faber Castell Polychromos are pretty cool, I guess.

I feel like I've been drawing rats for three years.

"Fight Bird" and "Space Bird"

I recently joined the BirdWhisperers Project. Every month the Birb Council selects a photo (with permission) of a certain bird, and the group members do a piece based on the photo.

"Fight Bird" (Grey Jay/Whiskey Jack) was my December 2016 entry. The Whiskey Jack is a small bird that looks like it can, and will, fight everything, and pretty much summed up my feelings about 2016 in general.

The common raven was selected as our first bird for 2017. Corvids are some of my favorite birds, based mostly on their willingness to prank and tr0ll other birds and spread general birb anarchy.
