Finished illustration for the Wonderland theme show at the ZaPow Art Gallery in Asheville N.C. that opens next week. All pieces in the show are from the book Alice In Wonderland by Lewis Carroll. Each artist was assigned an excerpt from the book, mine was one with the Jabberwocky. There is just a short passage in the book with no description of the creature...plenty of room for me to run with it...just the way I like it! Click HERE to see a 30 second 6 stage video step by step of the creation of "Basking Jabberwocky And Jub Jub Birds". Lemme know if you'd like to see more of these in the future. Feel free to ask questions.

Dragon Sketchbook Doodle
Starting the week off with a another Sunday night doodle while watching TV with the fam. Dragons...who doesn't love 'em? They are so fun to draw. I have a seemingly endless number of them in my head wanting to get out. Should I see a health care specialist for this? ;-)

Witches, Angels and Demons Illustration
Here is the final illustration for my entry in the ZaPow galleries "Art Of The Book" theme show. The book assigned to me was Good Omens; The Nice And Accurate Prophecies Of Agnes Nutter, Witch by Neil Gaiman and Terry Pratchett. A super funny book about an angel and demon trying to prevent the apocalypse from happening based on the prophecies of a nutty witch. Super fun book and highly recommended read. The show will run from Feb. 8 thru April 8. If you are in the Asheville, NC area, drop by and check it out. Archival fine art prints for this are available here.
