Works of 2011

Works of 2011

As the year draws to a close and with potentially no new artwork from me until early in the next year, I quickly threw this up to send the year off. 2011 has undoubtedly been my most productive year yet. I tried to show my various attempts at dipping my toes in different styles rather than [...]

Bran’s Waking – Comparing Books with TV

Bran's Waking - Comparing Books with TV

Long after it was suggested to me by a number of people (a number that must’ve tripled after the HBO series came out), I finally started to read George Martin’s “A Song of Ice and Fire” novels. I’m currently on the third book, “A Song of Storms,” and I’m greatly enjoying the ride so far. [...]

Comments now fixed

Comments now fixed

It turns out that my lovely site was asking for log-in information to be able to comment. This was only pointed out to me recently but I did think it was odd that, even for my humble website, I hadn’t received a single comment in well over a month. I don’t know how or why [...]

Hiatus

Hiatus

I’ve been off the grid for a month now due to personal reasons but I’m slowly trying to get a modicum of normalcy back in my life and, of course, to start posting some more drawings and stuff. Stay tuned!

Detroit Tattoo

Detroit Tattoo

I can’t count the number of times that I’ve been suggested or asked to do something tattoo related but the drawing above marks the first, fully completed work that I’ve done in the medium. I didn’t do the actual tattoo nor was the idea mine but I did create the finished artwork that the tattoo [...]

Commissions!

I’ve taken on some commissions over the past few months so I thought I’d make it official by throwing some information out there that’ll hopefully make the process a little easier on both ends. Check out the details here.

After nearly 10 years…

After nearly 10 years...

…the book can finally be closed. It’s not nearly the end, but it’s a welcome sigh of relief nonetheless.

Goodnight, Dune.

Goodnight, Dune.

When I first created a draft for it, the intention behind this post was to briefly discuss each of the Dune books and my feelings towards them individually. I was in the midst of Heretics of Dune at the time (the 5th book in the series) and I felt it only fitting to write something [...]

One “Games as art” article to rule them all!

Today, I found what is possibly the best and most eloquently written piece on the hotly debated topic of “video games as art” via Roger Ebert’s Twitter (uploaded to the Chicago Sun-Times by Ebert himself) which, given his uncharacteristically close-minded initial response to the subject, gives me hope in the old man just yet. From [...]

Shout-out: Our Valued Customers

Shout-out: Our Valued Customers

There are few webcomics I find amusing and none I closely follow (perhaps to my detriment as I understand there’s some quality stuff amidst all the murk out there) but Our Valued Customers is the proverbial exception to the rule. It has been a daily dose of simultaneous hilarity and this for quite a while [...]
