My newest video is up! We take a look at the new Rebelle 6, discuss my favorite features of the program, and talk about using programs like Rebelle to "try out" traditional media paintings and techniques before unpacking all of your oils, mediums, and brushes in your studio!

Did a quick master study of the fantastic Leagues of Votann codex cover art from Jaime Martinez , one of the absolutely best artists on the planet right now Trying to find "my" version of the glorious Games Workshop rendering style, and I feel like I'm getting closer! Learned a ton on this one, which is always true when I deep-dive Jaime's work

Last year, I had the absolute THRILL to work with Universal Studios and the BAM! Box to create limited-edition art prints for.....THE UNIVERSAL MONSTERS!

I grew up with Bela Lugosi as "my" Dracula, and I ADORE Boris Karloff as Frankenstein's Monster...and I mean, Wolfman! Creature from the Black Lagoon! Invisible Man! BRIDE OF FRANKENSTEIN!

The whole thing was so amazing and fun to work on, DEFINITELY a bucket-list experience!

Doing some more sketches, taking a break from longer-form paintings!

Sisters of Battle (Adepta Sororitas) fan art/concept painting "Ours is to honour the martyr, tend the fallen, defend the innocent, and walk always in the light." - The Hospitaller's Book of Hours A lot of fun to paint this one with some baroque/renaissance overtones and embracing a SUPER limited palette

Sometimes it's nice to just paint a little bit of personal comfort food!

It's been a while since I was able to make a proper portrait study, so here's a knight using "mixed media", aka Rebelle!

I used the Oils, Acrylics, Watercolor, Graphite, and Pastel categories with a variety of impasto, smudge, and blending modes. Love that program!

Some ollldd artwork (circa 2019)

Thinking about doing some more World War II-inspired paintings now that I've leveled up a bit. It's always a neat balance of beauty and chaos, which always leads to interesting paintings.

Tragic news, hearing about Jason David Frank (best known as the Green Ranger and White Ranger on Power Rangers). Take care of yourself, and of each other <3

Huge thank you to JDF for the amazing memories, and making my childhood a rad one. I still remember waiting in line with advanced tickets to see MMPR: The Movie! I wanted to make this warm-up painting as a tribute.
