I’ve been working on #artwork for the third book in The Goodpasture Chronicles, and realized I should share the #coverart I made for the second! This has been such a fun and creative series to visualize. #illustration #fantasy #mystery

I don’t think I’ve shared this #mural #illustration yet! It depicts Modoc, a circus elephant who ran free for 5 days in 1949 Wabash, IN. Look for it in the local Walmart if you’re ever in the area!

Always exciting when my art is out in the world! The Realm Unbound series has been one of my favorite to paint covers for, so creative, unique, and fun. We’re now up to 4 books, with more to come. Please check them out!

I was excited to be tasked with portraying the #Maine #Lobster Festival in one of my latest murals! I’ve enjoyed visiting this event and beautiful location numerous times (and I will be returning this July 31st to play music with my band, Shank Painters)!

This #illustration #art was especially fun to #paint! My client had a bunch of fun characterful details for the room, and within a silhouette I was given free reign to compile magical scenes and elements from biblical mythology.

I’ll let you know when this series is out!

You’re invited! In one week there will be a reception for the #artist showcase at the Memorial Library here in Falmouth #Maine, where you can connect with local artists and see this piece of insanity among other (much-more-reasonable) artworks. It’s 5-6 Feb 12. #painting #art
