W’Kabi, Shield of the Nation. Oil on panel, 16x12in.
I can at last say that I’ve illustrated a comic book character. There were so many new things for me about this painting, and I’m glad I can finally show it after two years. Thanks to DK for posing for this painting, and to director Merideth Mulroney.

This turned out to be a pretty good card, too. part of the Wakanda Forever Commander deck.

Liminal Hold, watercolor on paper, 14x11”. For Loreto Eclipsed, it was best to go the traditional route, from sketch to finish, to try to match the tone and feel that AD .garcia wanted to capture.

Art makes me friends everywhere I go! I was lucky to be painting the Bonsai Art Museum outdoor exhibit in Omiya, and got an impromptu photo session with a couple of new friends who enjoyed my process.

Tragic Trajectory. Digital painting. An astronaut is frozen in terror as he falls into a black hole as his ship explodes. I laid this out with a very symmetrical composition that includes an alignment that goes through the eye, and hid a little moon and sun in the astronaut’s suit. AD: Taylor Ingvarsson.
