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!)

What the Hell is this????

Shiny (oil, 5 x7 inches, $SOLD) Okay, so what is this? It's a "Space Pen". Literally, a pen is encased in chrome, and held in a "gravity defying" position by a donut shaped magnet at the base. I had wanted to paint this for awhile, so here it is, I did it on a scrap of board, and it all happened in something like 12 minutes!! I love an excuse to paint metal and shiny stuff. There is a meditative quality in just making all the little abstractions work...give, take,give...and fini!
