Red Sonya
29" x 21" Oil on Panel 2007
Collection of Cathy and Arnie Fenner

Began the drawing for this on a flight to San Diego Comic-Con back in 2006. The image was so powerful, the Fenners commissioned to turn it into a painting.
Thank you for giving me the chance to shine you two!

I've been working in sketchbooks more as part of a class assignment; here are some of my recent sketches 👉👈 I've been trying to draw what comes to me in the moment, and not worry too much about the output or making everything perfect, but also put time into each to make it feel 'done' as a sketch.
Graphite and white charcoal sketch on toned paper of a woman with stylized hair Graphite and white charcoal sketch on toned paper of a figure with a stylized owl headdress. The wings of the headdress cover the figure's eyes. A graphite sketch of a a face surrounded by a sphere of churning, splashing water A graphite sketch of a beared man with a sword plunging through his forehead and out his chin (in a stylized, non gory way).

I’ll be in Main Show October 22 -26 at IX Arts in Reading PA. I’ll have lots of prints, playmats, original paintings and more. Seeing my work in person is a different experience than seeing it online. Hope to see you there!
