Bob's ART du Jour: June 2010

About Me

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!)

New Mexico Mammoths...

Columbian Mammoths near The Organ Mountains of New Mexico

This painting is one of the first for my upcoming Ice Age America book. It's in oils and 20x30 inches. Columbian Mammoths differ from their Wooly cousins in that they existed in warmer climates of the Southwest and West, and, they were huge-some as high as 16 feet. The object was to use reference of the actual mountains as they are today but imagine them 10,000 odd years ago in a very furtive and lush time. More paintings for this book, to come!!!

Moby Dick!!

Moby Dick(8x10, oils)

I did this for a show in Salem Mass coming up, about, Sea Monsters. I figured Moby Dick would be a great subject. I'd long wanted to do my own idea to this classic story. So this isn't for sale just yet anyway, I need it for the show. If it does not sell, I will repost it and let people know!
