What’s New

Posting a quick couple photos from a recent commission piece I completed. Time-lapse below, too. I can’t believe it took all this time to paint a Minnesota classic! Definitely will be giving more treatment to this North Shore icon in the future.

This update is all about learning a new process for developing better compositions: compiling multiple reference photos and “cleaning up” the design digitally before starting the physical painting. I started with this photo that I took in Arizona last year: A fine photo, but a little busy and chaotic. Also pretty difficult to see the bird in the center (maybe … Read More

Another year of “Inktober” prompts in the books! Some of my personal favorites were Shallow, Plump, Sparkle, and Wander.

Hello! Quick note to let people know that I will be participating in a couple art festivals this summer. Eagan Art Festival is always great and Art on the Lake is a juried show, so should be top quality! Hope to see you there. Then, stay tuned later in the summer for more work coming out after these shows wrap … Read More

I didn’t draw quite every prompt, but it was fun to put a full effort toward some of the drawings this year. That’s what it’s about, anyway: drawing and sharing. Some of my favorites were “Armadillo,” “Crabby Eagle” (one of a few combined prompts drawings), “Flame,” and “Gargoyle.” Looking forward to (hopefully) many drawings and paintings this winter. There’s one … Read More

To everyone’s surprise (chiefly mine), I made it all the way through the “Inktober” prompts last year! Granted, I drew a pair of dice one of the days and that took about 25 seconds. Baby steps, okay? This year, I’m hoping to up the ante. Equipped with a proper studio and some competitive spirit, I’m going to turn these sub-par prompts … Read More

Success! Completed drawings for each day in October this year. Some of my favorite drawings were for the prompts “Fan”, “Stuck”, “Splat”, and “Slither”. THANK YOU for subscribing to email updates! It’s a consistent and authentic way of sharing my work with people who actually care. As a token of my appreciation, I’d like to send you a small gift … Read More

Excited to share the second batch of drawings from this year’s Inktober daily prompts. A little behind, but made it farther than last year. Couple drawings where I doubled up two days into one. More lazy than creative, honestly. There is a single “mash-up” time lapse video with most of the drawings from the past two weeks. Enjoy!
