Thank you RCCC 2018

Had a great time at Rose City Comic Con, thanks to everyone who stopped by and supported my work. It was awesome meeting new fans and seeing old friends. I will be taking a break from RCCC next year to create a special series of works for gallery showcases. I will be continuing to create more comic themed art and expanding my store to include comic con pieces.

New Studio

It's been a whirlwind of a year with lots of changes. My wife and I are excited to be expecting our second child next March. We decided that we needed a bigger house for our needs and moved across town around the end of summer. Luckily, we found the perfect house for our needs and it accommodates my son with his disability. The new house also allows me to have a bigger work space for my studio, which I'm very excited to have.

13 Kingdoms Series - The Falooginn

"The Falooginn" 

14x11 Wood Canvas with 4 layer pop out illustration

(acrylic, ink, spray, mixed media?

News "13 Kingdoms" features a legendary mythic creature from a magical realm. This creature, known as the Falooginn, is a mischievous sprite-like creature who has a symbolic relationship with a worm in it's head. Their obsession with keys is what makes them a problem in the 13 Kingdoms. They have a penchant for taking very important keys used for various things such as cell doors, gold vaults, treasure chests, chastity belts, keys to the city, and other really important things with locks. No one really knows where they keep their ever growing key collection. Some kingdoms have taken a lax approach to keeping things locked up, which has caused all sorts of problems except for the thieves guild. They appear to be doing very well at the moment and fully support the "keep everything unlocked" movement.

This series will feature 13 different creatures. These will be made periodically through the years.
