This is my favorite picture of my dad, taken on a roadtrip in northern England in the early 60s. Happy Father’s Day to all the dads out there!
Random art post for a Friday night. Here is an older piece called Hellbender. Diluted ink crosshatching on Arches hotpress.
Another random art post. This was an illustration done for a comic project published by IDW a number of years ago. The open space was left for text.
Tonight’s random art post is an old, unused illustration for a short story by Caitlin R. Kiernan called Houndwife. I always liked the implied, but structurally unlikely twist of the millipede behind the figure’s neck. Ultimately, I went with something else.
It’s Sunday, which means I am highlighting one of my original works available for purchase. You can find “Red Bird and Troll” on my Etsy page www.etsy.com/ca/listing/4...
