About Me

My Photo
Name:
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!)

Calling Your Attention to a Cool Book!

I got to spend some time with David Weber at this past Bubonicon in New Mexico where I shared being a Guest of Honor with him. By coincidence, his WORLDS OF WEBER "brick" book with my cover painting-a portrait of a "young"(read that 15-17) Honor Harrington-appeared around the same time. I chose a portrait because it seemed that "action" is better covered elsewhere in this context, and my instincts were right. Weber himself not only a great writer, but he's just a great guy, in fact his whole family are what I call genuine people.
He's created an real following with his work, and, while it's SF, the following tends to reach outside the genre.
Anyway, a bit of a plug ever so shamelessly, that this thick(trust me it's thick!) tome is available now from Subterranean Press: http://www.subterraneanpress.com/ and it's signed by Weber himself!
