I opened an INPRNT shop to sell prints of my artwork. So far I've got 8 of my animal ABC illustrations in the shop. Check them out, grab a print, get something for someone for Christmas!

These pages take a long time because I'm doing them the hard, slow way, watercolor & ink.
For heaven's sake if this project interests you —follow me. I'm doing the math and I need the first story to do extremely well if I'm going to make the money work.
I want passion to win.
The first 4 pages sans text for PetraCor, my Anglo-Saxon graphic novel.
Each chapter is a self-contained episode. A early-medieval Twilight Zone structure with stories inspired by Dante, English and Celtic fable, and the real history of 8th century England.
I can't wait to start drawing creatures. The truly strange stuff. That's certainly a highlight.
But the heart of the story is two men --one a Saxon thegn whose life of bloody conflict has left him searching for meaning, and the other a young Lombardian exile whose aristocratic family was unseated by Charlemagne's conquests in Italy. With all lost, he lives in the present.
Thrown together, they wander the length of Albion on a path to the Holy Isle of Lindisfarne, navigating the layers of cultures that centuries of conquest had brought to the isle.
Saints, monsters, druids, wicked gods and men, nature and the ruins it has reclaimed pepper the road between Wintanceastre and Lindisfarne in Anno Domini 793.
This is looking great, I can’t wait to see how this turns out, and already the pages look awesome

We have an ongoing fantasy series called William The Last by @brian_shearer. It’s the first story I’ve seen my son voluntarily sit and read by himself.

I've wrapped up the 21 illustrations for @MichaelFKane's book The Witch of Hobomock Pass.
It's enormously satisfying to wrap up a solid project. Many thanks to Michael for trusting me with his story.

I had some small hand in pushing Michael toward including illustrations and I’m hopeful more people will include them as they are able. These look great and Mr. Holt did a great job on them.

Checking out the local thrift store yesterday for some Christmas cds, and found this gem.
Cover art: 10/10 no notes
Local Appalachian musicians recording traditional Christmas tunes, amazing. This is heritage America.

And they're done. Coming soon to a Patreon near you.
I feel like I'm getting better at balancing black and white values. Trying to use these values to give more to the depth of the scene and emphasize certain details. It's a process for sure.

Been on a western country music kick for a little bit, and this Tex Williams song popped up today on Spotify. Then for a second, I thought…hm… I wonder if there was any subliminal inspiration here with Wolverine. 🤔
