This really spiraled out of control.

Not as accurate as I'd have hoped, and a bit messy, but I think it turned out alright!

"The Centaur's Domain"

24" x 36". Oil on Canvas. November 22nd, 2021.

My overzealous cousin had seen some portraits I had done and asked my aunt if she thought I could paint him as a centaur. He didn't know I had heard about that exchange, so I got in touch with his wife who commissioned me to do this in secret. She will be giving it to him for his birthday on the 27th.

***UPDATE***

November 27th, 2021.

My cousin's wife recorded his reaction to receiving the painting :)

Thought I'd share-

I'll try to clean this up, take a better picture, and then update this post with it, but here is a little Turnip Head jack-o-lantern for everyone.

*Update* Lost one of his buttons, but I shaved some tight areas. He is now out on my patio spreading Halloween spirit :)

"What a Wonderful Harvest"

14" x 14" x 1 3/4" Acrylic on Wood panel. October 4th, 2021.

I wanted to make an Autumn piece that wasn't exclusive to Halloween, and Over the Garden Wall gives the perfect vibe.

Inspired by Patrick McHale's animated series "Over the Garden Wall"

Printed from home. Not totally happy with the faded texture in some places, but it will do.

"Dreamscape 1" Digital drawing.

I had a dream at the beginning of this week and wanted to test to see if I could accurately capture what I saw. I would say this is pretty accurate.

Used Samsung Galaxy Tab A 10.1 with S-Pen and Autodesk SketchBook. August 8th, 2020.

A friend asked me to design him a tattoo. I got him into FMA and MHA, so I decided to do a couple of burly bros throwing hands! I'll update with the final design! I still need to work out the bugs. ~June 2020
