Two new oil paintings to share:

This one is giant! 8′ by 4′. It’s mixed media – mostly acrylic with oil glazes in parts – on wood panel.

much smaller (16x36ish) oil on hard-board.

Another update on the children’s book illustration front, I now have a facebook page!

While I will continue to post the odd paintings I do here and there on this blog, that page will be dedicated solely to my children’s book writing and illustrating.

Hello again!

It’s been a while since I updated last. Check out my new children’s book, Hagar the Harfowl, on Nook and Kindle (other devices coming soon, as well as a PC version):

and some random fun:

and of course, still practicing candid portraits. Don’t want to get rusty!

Willis and Phillis: Remake

beobscureclearly — Fri, 02 Sep 2011 01:34:43 +0000

This is a remake of a piece I did earlier (in Asheville, NC actually) for my portfolio.

For those who may not know, I am finally back on the east coast! It has been an amazing 7 month journey around the US and I am so grateful to all of the people I met along the way who helped me out in so many ways! Also a huge thanks to my friends and family back home for their support. For now my traveling shoes are shelved and I am focusing on assembling a portfolio and seeking work as a children’s book illustrator. I am also going to be putting the finishing touches on a few of my own stories and e-publishing them on Amazon and google books in the months to come, so keep and eye out!

Thanks everyone for following the journey!!
