Hangin' out

Digital art of a caterpillar attaching itself to the stem of a milkweed plant. The style of the illustration features crisp uniform outlines, some colored and some black, as well as stylized cel shading. The point of view is from underneath the milkweed plant, up at the caterpillar under the nearest leaf. The caterpillar is curling around itself, dangling from a bit of 'glue' it used to hang itself upside down. The caterpillar is banded with stark peach, black, and white stripes. The milkweed plant towers into the sky.

    This is the Scandi tea towel / print illustration completely hand inked.

    I will work out the final size today (hopefully) and make a film positive.

    I don't know what the final colour will be yet. We are going to print the tea towels so there's the possibility of doing different colourways.

    I have also designed six cards based on these animals. I just need to finalise the colours. It'll be good to have some more wintery cards for our fairs in the autumn.

    Two tall, thin skyscrapers. The one on the left rises up from the ground. The one on the right seems to be dangling down out of the sky, upside-down. Both have only one window at the very top. Below, the sky is blue; above, and to the right, the sky is the pink of sunrise or sunset. The window in the left building is dark; the window in the right building is glowing yellow. A thin staircase connects the two, extending downwards from the left building. On the left, a person sits at the top of the staircase. On the right, a cat is also sitting at the top of the staircase, but upside down, on the underside of the staircase, as though gravity is inverted.

    THE GUNSLINGER ON THE BEACH (1982)
    Acrylic on Illustration Board - 28" x 18"

    The winter months of 1980-81 were tough. My wife and I became parents with the arrival of our daughter in November, and I needn't tell anyone who has children what that means in terms of lifestyle changes...like lack of sleep. 1/4

    A pink sky fading to blue. The ground is not visible. Rising up from where the ground would be are two incredibly rickety poles made of bits and pieces that are tied together with cable. At the top of the left pole is a green traffic light; at the top of the right one is a red traffic light. Strung between the two poles is a long cable, hanging downwards. Sitting in the center of the cable, hanging in space, is a person. Several birds circle overhead.

    A very tall, dilapidated sign. The sign is an arrow shaped like an uppercase L, with the arrowhead at the base of the L, pointing right. The word "motel" is printed on the L in large, faded, red letters. The sign is weatherbeaten, with holes and patches on it, and is supported by a few rickety support beams. It appears to be in the middle of a desert: flat brown land, golden sky, yellow sun. The arrowhead is pointed at a small birdhouse directly to the right of the sign. Perched on top of the sign is a black bird.

    DARKNESS OVER HAYHOLT (2016)
    Acrylic on Gessobord - 24" x 36"

    When DAW contacted me 35 years ago about illustrating the cover for a high fantasy novel by Tad Williams, an amazing relationship began with THE DRAGONBONE CHAIR. 1/4

    @dawbooks

    Constrained view of a castle courtyard as seen at night through a stone archway lit from behind the viewer. On the right, the Tower of Hjeldin rises with wide narrow, barred slits at the top glowing red. The statue of an angel stands on the left with one arm raised. Tall bushes obscure the entrance through an inner wall leading to the keep. Above is a mix of starry dark sky and layers of clouds illuminated by a glowing crescent moon.

    It's early morning or early evening. The sky is an indigo blue. A small rocket takes off from a simple launchpad, blasting into the air and leaving a towering inferno on the ground. The problem is that the rocket has launched at an angle, bouncing off the support structure to the left of it before seemingly regaining its trajectory and heading for space. The support structure has two small, pale, white lights on it and is slightly faded towards the top, suggesting fog. On the side of the rocket is a single round portal, revealing a figure silhouette in greenish light.

    More updates on my .

    I am sometimes hesitant to share my because as much as I wish I could be like "I do things step by step and plan it out neatly" in reality my creative process is very chaotic. I like to go back and forth on everything all the time and I really have no idea how things will turn out until I actually work thru it.

    "Mummy, Daddy, don't worry, we've reached the witch's hut.

    Here's another children's project based on our childhood stories: two children travel on a deer's backdeep in the forest, a fox and a raven are their companions along the way.
    Once again, I used mostly watercolours and coloured pencils and took special care to blend the colours.

    I've also been thinking a lot about my commission, which I was going to postpone. However, the summer will be the season when I'm most available for commissions. Instead of postponing them, I will proceed in two steps :

    • a first opening very soon for all watercolour and mixed media art
    • a second opening for all digital art as soon as I feel ready!

    In any case, keep an eye out.

    A very tall, J-shaped creature that looks a little like something between a chicken and an ostrich. It has two spindly legs, an explosion of feathers sticking up from the back, and a very tall neck. However, it also has two small arms higher up on its neck. It is mostly a black silhouette framed against a dark blue sky, with one bright white eye visible.

    DRAGONFLIGHT (1978)
    Acrylic on Masonite - 20" X 30"

    For the first book in Anne McCaffrey's now legendary Dragonriders of Pern series, I wanted to create a literal visualization of the title. I selected an aerial point-of-view and tilted the horizon to simulate the dizzying sensation of flight. 1/4

    A flight of dragons swoops past a rocky mountain peak down that mostly obscures the sun. The light tints green sky yellow along the ridge. With wings spread wide, the lead dragon pulls up from a dive with beak open to expose teeth and tongue. The arc of its climb intersects a red striated planet. The female dragonrider raises one arm up as she glances back over her shoulder.
