"The Airship Returns"

Contemplative Clowns are the peak of human art.

Gouache and Mixed Media.

I made some mistakes early on with this piece that made it much more troublesome than I had hoped, but by the end I had loosened up enough that I think I've finally learned how to work with gouache more instinctively, and less mechanically, so in the end I think I've had a real breakthrough here.

I procrastinated on this piece so much. I knew it was going to be a hassle rendering so much fabric. Even now there's things I'd adjust, but it's time to move forward. Gouache on Paper.

This Gargoyle Does Not Exist.

My attempt to create something photo-realistic based on a rough rendering of the subject. Not bad for a first attempt. If I can refine this process, I might be able to create psuedo-photographic images that are completely imaginary.

Study for a painting. China marker on tracing paper. This is going to be intimidating to paint...
