Name:
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!)

Changes in thinking...

Back from The World Fantasy Con in Saratoga, NY. Lots of fun and, friends I haven't seen in ages. Really a good time!! I'll post some piccies soon!

I seem to enjoy fantasy and, darker work-horror, moreso than I enjoy space related work. Note my fixation with Lovecraftian work. I was once a "Fellow" of the International Association of Astro Artists. I dropped my membership and "Fellowship" in it awhile ago and, realized I haven't missed anything. I never understood what a "Fellowship" was anyway. One of my "FAQ's" is "Why did you stop painting space art?". Largely, because the computer has truly replaced the human hand w/brush in this regard. Computer/digital art truly is amazing, and, frankly, Hubble telescope pix and Cassini and all, have just put most "space art" to shame. That said, space is still a nice backdrop to use for sci-fi imagery...and I'll still do that anyway.

Speaking of, a couple of nice work-ups for some covers soon!
