Location: New England, United States

I am a Hugo award-winning fantasy/SF artist who works on both publishing projects and film concept work(such as Jimmy Neutron and most recently, The Ant Bully) but I have a passion for landscape work, small paintings and exploring the properties of paint. This blog will mostly showcase my "painting-for-the-day" as kind of a personal voyage. I'll also be inserting sketches,photos and ideas of projects I am working on, that I can, when I can, so look for those every so often(usually as paint is drying!)

Godzilla study....

Godzilla 1962 study(conte and chalk $120. 12x18 inches)


I did this drawing for study for IDW's new Godzilla comic which I am doing three covers to the GODZILLA LEGENDS series. This is the study for cover #5 which he battles Kumonga, the giant spider whilst someone climbs him! Some changes were made to the small figure as per IDWs instructions, but it still came out pretty good in the final.

New small paintings....

Cort's Cloudz (8x10, oils, $110)

'
The Black Twister(8x10, oils, $110)

Thought I had forgotten to paint small works! I REALLY miss having the time to do more of these, but in these cases I made the time. The top is based on a photo my friend Cort Skinner took and I liked it and asked him if I could paint it. The bottom is based on some footage of an Oklahoma tornado of 2007. Again I am fascinated with how these storms work, and they make great subjects to paint!!!

Hurricane Irene

Irene Comes Calling (8x10, oils $100)


I am as people know, inspired by nature's worst weather. Having had a hurricane pass directly over us this last week, was epic enough to inspire a few ideas. This is the first one, a brooding feeling of unease as the sea boils up and dark clouds begin to move in. Again, I am inspired by Turner and Coubet as painters, for this vision. Enjoy!
