On the Drawing Board: In touch with myself

Partial view of my outline sketch.

Having been a massage therapist and one who thoroughly enjoys a good deep massage, I have, until now, never done a massage themed painting.  One of the aspects I want to infuse here is the almost spiritual feeling a good massage can achieve.  

*NEW* Clearance Closet

In the Closet you'll find prints that may have been framed for display, for a show, or perhaps I had hanging in my home.  They aren't brand new and may have minor flaws, and I will do my best to point that out in the descriptions.  

These are first come first serve basis and I'll be adding more as I dig through my closet. 

Framing is Back

Framing is finally coming back!

If you like the convenience of hanging and displaying the print you've ordered as soon as it arrives, or you're hesitant to bring  your print to your neighborhood frame shop, you have the option of me framing it for you.

Currently only a few items can be ordered framed but over the next few months I'll be rolling it out to more and more.

Right now I am limiting framing to the popular Studio size prints.  The mat/frame combinations that best compliment each individual artwork will be pre-selected.  

New Fantasy Release: "The Gryphon Master"

Harkening back to my roots, my latest piece is an adventure in fantasy!  Gryphons are one of my favorite mythological creatures and it was so much fun creating this piece.

Get 10% off the list price during the official Day of Issue on the original and prints of "The Gryphon Master".  Now until approximately 8:00 AM EST Tuesday February 17th, 2015

On the Drawing Board: Winter tale.

Being in the second snowiest city in America (so far this year) has been a bit of an inspiration for my winter themed fantasy piece.  But I am ready for the snow to start melting...but I guess I'll have to wait at least another month.  Either way I am having so much fun rendering things I don't typically do in my usual male romance / erotica pieces, though I consider both 'fantasy' works.  

New Release: "Last One In"

The saga of the red truck continues.  Based on my 2007 painting "Red Truck", this new piece revisits our cowboys taking a little break from the heat and chores for a little wet fun!

This work was commissioned by the owner of the first Red Truck painting, and therefore the original is already sold.  I gave a nod to the red truck in "Night On the Town" as well.

On the Drawing Board: Feeling fantastical

Many of my early pieces (teenage years) were sci-fi and fantasy inspired, so I always feel my artistic roots are slightly anchored in that genre.  Lately, as I've been contemplating my next works I've kept drifting in that direction, so I've decided to indulge.  I've done a few in the past, like "Metamorphosis" and "Deep Blue", and definitely would like to explore further.  I'm starting with one of my favorite mythological creatures, gryphons, of which I've been a fan of since reading about the land of Valdemar in the Mercedes Lackey books.

New Greeting Cards!

I've added five new greeting cards, and just in time for Valentine's Day it turns out.  Check out the whole selection.  Also there are a few cards that I only have a handful left and since I need the room they are on clearance for $2 each. 

Postcards Available

The postcards are back available on the site. Purchase individually, in a 5 pack, or get the 10 pack assortment (1 of each card).
