Here is the newest painting in the 12 Series Mini Commissions, Levitation.

Not only is this one of the 12, it also acts as a study for a larger work in the future.

Enjoy!

A new oil painting to share with you today. This is an oil painted variation of my Yangtze River image for a private commission that I finished a few weeks ago. It now resides in New York city!

Many thanks to Marc Abrams in NY for the commission, Renée Sigel at Rare Swan and the fine folks at King & Wilson Art Services  here in Sydney for the crating and shipping.

Enjoy!

My small tribute to Jean Giraud. He was, still is, and always will be an enormous inspiration to me. So here is a small ink and watercolour drawing I did in his honor. There are no words.. except..

Merci Moebius.. Bon voyage!

Trying to keep them loose. Both 9″ x 5″, oil on panel.

Enjoy!

If you happen to be in your local book store be sure to pick up the latest edition of Spectrum Fantastic Art 18 and Blue Canvas magazine issue X. They’re both great publications and showcase some top quality artwork. I don’t actually have a copy of Blue Canvas yet so don’t know how my portfolio spread turned out.

For those who don’t know, Spectrum is the leading annual for scifi/fantasy/fantastic artwork in any medium. I felt the reproduction in Spectrum was a tad dark this year, which may have been book and/or batch wide. I’m sure there is more in the shadows in some of those paintings! Otherwise it was printed to it’s usual wonderful quality. I’ve only skimmed through the book, but I get the feeling that traditional art has overtaken digital work this year.. who said painting was dead!!

Many thanks to Cathy and Arnie Fenner for the complimentary copy.

Another fun painting for issue #6 of SciFi Freedom ezine. This is a interior illustration for a story entitled Frank. I won’t reveal any more than that! I was mistaken with my last post regarding the publishing date of this issue however.. it will be in December, so make sure you check it out!

Here is the full painting. A little more digital tweaking and balancing for this one as I ran out of time to polish it completely in oils. Mostly for adjusting values, punching out the red warning lights and flare.

For those artists adept at depicting the human form, I welcome your feedback!

Enjoy!

Another interior illustration for SciFi Freedom ezine story, edition #6. Titled: The Liar. The issue will be out this month I think so keep your eyes peeled!

Here is the artwork.. Starting with my final pencil sketch, a small acrylic colour rough and the final oil painting. I think I lost something in the translation from the pencil sketch to the final painting however!

Enjoy!
