The Tomb of Kochun, oil on panel, 16x20, 2011. This is the cover for a module that is being published by Signal Fire Studios. Written by Dane Collins, Josh Harper and myself.

In the street the zombie fed. Oil on Panel. 16x20. Cover for Apex Digest's The Zombie Feed anthology.

The Star Watcher. Acrylic. 11x14. Painted for the Castlemourn RPG.

Scorpia. This was a painting for an art contest called Mutation Nation. The challenge was to create an anthropomorphic creature. It is to fit within the Gamma World Setting (tm) by Wizards of the Coast.

The Freeing of the Muse. Oil on Canvas 24x36". This painting was done in response to the use of the female image in art. The muse is historically a female spirit or person who inspires the male artist to create work. Then, it is the male who is creator as well a recipient of credit and praise for the work. Here the muse has freed herself from the artist (me) to become creator herself. ** This piece was included in the New Masters of Fantasy 2006 Compilation.

Ultimate Gamer. 16x20, Digital. This was an illustration for Gamecon Memphis. I wanted to include all the standard types of gaming, though I do think he would have a little bit of an advantage in video games with 4 arms...

Summoner and Eidolon. 11x14, oil on paper. This painting was a commission for Kobold Quarterly. It is the cover for the Summoner Advanced Feats (Pathfinder) book. The assignment was interesting, because they asked to have a halfling summoner summoning his Eidolon which had to be a cross of "cute but dangerous". It is not very often that you try to combine those features into one creature.

Daelkyr. 11x14, oil on paper. This was a commission for someone who was never happy with any of the other illustrations of this creature. I am pretty happy with it, so fun to jump back and do an illustration every once in a while.

Aegri Somnia. 13x19, oil on paper. Cover for book of the same name by Apex Book Company.

The Ultimate Gamer II. Oil, 18x24, 2010. I painted this for Gamecon Memphis 2010. I wanted to have a companion to last years piece, but this time painted in real media. I also wanted to have the same gaming elements, but a little more subtle. The city below was modeled using chess pieces and dice (can you find the D20?)and her belt buckle is an xbox style controller.

A Clockwork Dragon II. Oil on paper, 10"x24". Custom built frame - wood and metal. This was my second go at a clockwork or steampunk dragon. This time I built a full maquette and had the lighting perfect. I only had a week from start to finish because I had to have it done by Dragon Con 2010, and in the end I believe it was a week well spent.

Clockwork Steampunk Dragon. 13x16, oil on mounted paper. Original hangs in the private collection of Jim Hayter. A side project painting that I started a month ago. I wanted to do a clockwork dragon, like the creatures I used to see in Everquest. Of course anyone who sees it says, "OMG a steampunk dragon!" .
