Come Into My Office

Ogan'kal

I'm happy with how it turned out, but expansive backgrounds are admittedly uncomfortable territory. To tell the character's story though, he needed a city to protect. His clothing was fun to work with, as was the sword and trying to rationalize the whole two-ended sword deal with unbalanced/different sized blades.

Fun With Maps

As a kid I used to sit and make up maps for stories and stuff my toys did. I wanted to revisit that with the story and world projects I have going on.

Art of Science.

http://www.princeton.edu/artofscience/gallery2011/

Starting in 2005, Princeton University has hosted an exhibition called the Art of Science, which uses submitted images acquired from ongoing research. A panel of judges goes through each submission and once their choices have been made, the annual gallery goes up.

Normally I save this space for my own work as a gallery and as a means to look back on the things I've made to see how my work changes over time, as well as a place for visitors to see my work and contact me for commissions and the like.

However, one of the biggest inspirations, motivations and constant references in my life has been science, its discoveries, advancements and questions. Without it, I wouldn't be driven to do the work I do, and I wouldn't look toward my own improvements, discoveries and questions. Science is its own sort of magic, and through it we can observe the world with wonderment and understanding. Like any other pursuit, such as art, science is never "good enough".

There have always been more things to know, more things to inspire us and more things to understand about the world and the universe we live in, and there always will be. We as humans have pushed the envelope to comprehend and advance our knowledge, our places and our roles in the world, as well as the ways we understand it.

Through science, art and anything, the possibilities will always be endless.

Mariposa Playhouse Posters

Up in Mariposa we have a community theater group, the Mariposa Playhouse. 

They've been working toward bringing attention to theater in the town. It isn't just that alone, but also building contacts, friendships and camaraderie among those who are new to theater, veterans, and anyone in between, whether it's on the stage or behind the curtain. As always, I'm happy to lend my small contribution with posters for their productions.
