Behind the Milky Way
Journey far, listen Seeing beyond the Milky Way's shadow To inhale vapors. I am here to find; Taste fennel, smell clover Where visions are born My last finished piece of 2017. Started after a strange dream and rumbling purrs of odd guides. I am setting intentions for 2018. May yours be full of fire, tenacity, and deep seated strength. |

Golden Shall
Wrapped in gold, lead Feel the paradigm shift forward The sun return grows all This year I finished a winter holiday image. I am not a practitioner of any of the monotheistic faiths; as a result the majority of holiday card motifs are ones I do not wish to propagate. So I rendered out my own. Solstice will be at 11:28 Am December 21st this year. Bring joy the light, and end the long nights. I have ordered a small amount of cards with this image to bring with me to MFF, and send out to friends and family. |

Hungry Gods...
These gods are hungry, rumble Flesh and love starved they hunt In dreams they come, hungry This piece thundered out like a hurricane. I am very glad the sketch book the rough lived in fell on my foot a couple of weeks ago so that I could render this piece out. This is a Patreon supported piece. Want to help me make more like it?

Inktober 2017
Another year, another Inktober exercise. I focused on botanical illustrations for the first part of the month and branched out for a visual break near the end of the month. I only scan and clean up a selection of my Inktobers for online galleries. For the rest, check out my Twitter or Instragram. |

Dreaming: Orcas
Orcas and tribal tides, leaving spine tingling and ears ringing like a deep pressure dive. This piece will be with me at Biggest Little Fur Con (early June) and Anthro Con (late June). |
Death Promises
The Black Rabbit of Inel has become a source of inspiration for me... for over a year now. A figure of death and thus balance, the imagery surrounding him in popular culture is both touching and macabre.
Featured here with stinging nettle and white clover flowers, the Black Rabbit of Inel promises death.
March and April have become less painful for me (connected to the sudden loss of two pets in 2015). Working through those feelings of mourning through creative works has been a healthy release.

Out run the Dogs
The fruit of a collaborative project with a local art friend, turned collab auction. He did the digital base, I transferred to paper to ink and paint it. It has been a long while since I have done a project this large, and after a couple of less than glamorous starts the piece is finally complete. A long over due commission for a very patient client, Cyrix. |

Divine Beast
The largest collaborative pieces I have done; done with the awesomely talented Skulldog The Qilin (or kirin) is a beast which appears at the arrival or passing of kings, sages, and individuals meant for great things.
