Gosh it's been a long time since I posted anything here! I've almost forgotten how to do this.
This piece is called OPEN CARRY. I was thinking about the whole concept of open carry and how you see it in science fiction films all the time, which led me to this.
Honestly, that's what I was thinking. It wasn't just an excuse to paint hot green Star Trek girls.
Really!
I've been here and there. I've drawn a lot of pictures. I've written a bit, too. I'm not good at this self-promotion thing. Look, you want to know about me? just visit these websites. Okay?

Cover art for THE SPECIALISTS by Derrick Ferguson and Joel Jenkins.
I'm very lucky.
I have been very fortunate to do the cover art for a book series fromPulpWork Press. Author Joel Jenkins writes a series of fast-paced action thrillers featuring the Gantlet Brothers. The five Gantlet siblings are rock and roll musicians and guns for hire. The books are a series of high octane chases, escapes, mysteries and a whole lot of fun.
Because I have done the cover art I have had the privilege of getting to read each of the books before they are released and they have gotten better each time.
Pulpwork Press is also the publisher of Derrick Ferguson's DILLON books. Dillon is a larger-than-life adventurer in the tradition of the old hero-pulps. Ferguson's Dillon books are amazing and great fun to read.
So when DILLON teams up with SLY GANTLET in THE SPECIALISTS you know the results are going to be explosive.
I loved this book. It is a blast to read and you can tell that Joel and Derrick had a blast writing it. If you are a fan of either series then getting this book is a no-brainer. If you aren't familiar with these characters than, by all means, become familiar with them! These books are that good!
THE SPECIALISTS will be released this May.

Good Lord, I know! It's been so long since I've been here I'm not sure if I remember how to do this!
I may have posted some of these before but these are my most recent works. Two of them are for books that will come out at Christmas and one is for a book that's out now. The rest were just because I wanted to...

Cover art I did for an omnibus edition of Van Allen Plexico's The Shattering. I didn't realize until now that he had not written that scene when I delivered the cover art, yet he described it to me in such detail I could "see" it in my mind. Obviously what I was seeing jived with the author's vision.
That's gratifying for me as an artist but aside from that I am amazed that a scene could be so well thought out two years in advance of the actual writing. Now that's planning ahead!

...too quiet. This is all I've managed to finish (and I use that word in its most liberal sense) in the last week.
I haven't had much going on aside from my posts at the AMAZING STORIES website. I haven't done much artwork in the past little while. One of the reasons was that I became a grandfather. My older daughter had a baby three weeks ago.
And I guess I feel about as old as this guy, though hopefully not as evil-looking.

So a local bistro called Blondie’s needed a logo. I came up with a pencil sketch. They decided just to go with a picture of a flower. I took the pencil sketch home, scanned it and worked in some color.
So this is for all you blondies out there. (And one in particular. She knows who she is).

Not sure where this is going but I started on it yesterday. I'd like to work more on it but I have another two commissions ahead of it and an article to write before tomorrow.
So here it is so far. It's not the whole picture. The rest is NSFW, but I will show that eventually.
What do you think so far?

Here is the album art that I did for the audio adventure of Joshua Raynolds' Charles St. Cyprian, the Royal Occultist.
Josh has written several stories featuring this character and they are extremely entertaining. Some are in magazines and anthologies but others are available to read for free at The Royal Occultist website. Also keep an eye out for the first Royal Occultist novel coming out soon.
The audio version of Reynold's story, Owd Hob, is produced by Richard Gough-Thomas and is only the first of hopefully many more.
Take a listen to it here. You can name your price.

Here is the awesomely awesome Bella Von Doom as Catwoman.
This is the second time I have worked with Bella and once again I had a blast. She is a fun person, a fantastic model as well as a terrific artist herself.
Go visit her tumblr and give her a shout out. (Just be warned that her tumblr can get very NSFW). Check it out here.

I did this portrait of a friend back in January. We've lost touch since then so I don't even know if she's seen it or not.
Normally I would not post something like this without getting some sort of feedback from the subject, but since the subject seems to have dropped off the face of the earth I thought I'd post it anyway.
