A set of five little (3.5″x5″) pieces for the 2018 World Fantasy Artshow that I completed earlier this month! First up, the WITCHY KITTIES! This is Ursula. She could be named after Ursula K. Le Guin, but she’s also got a chicken in the back of her cauldron and that seems reminiscent of Ursula Vernon. …
I’ve been saying for years that I would eventually add Pluto to my Planet Horse series, and last month I finally pushed it forward and finished it! Pluto my not be an official planet anymore, but he will always be a planet in my heart. However, in a nod to his current scientific status as …

July was AnthroCon, my tenth consecutive and my ninth as a dealer, and for the first time I had my dear, Wonderful Mother along to help keep me sane, fed, and productive. It was fantastic. AnthroCon is …
A quick gander through my online gallery shows a shocking absence! The original cover art for Professor Odd Episode 8: “Chronostrophe“! Colored pencils on 12″x9″ bristol board, 2016. I went through a number of concepts before settling on this one. It makes visual reference to a number of things from the story, and as such makes …

These are some Saw-whet owlets in (l-r) a Moss Cadet hat, a Hazy Shade pixie hat, and a Sunflower Petal hat by Chronographia von Strange Hours. Photo reference from Kathy and Sam on Flickr.

Below is the original cartoon. Valdelluna is a country I’ve been loosely developing for many years. Home of the Mist Spinner, Earbrella, and the …

First, a pair of fashionable foxy lads in splendid dresses… And yes, they are boy-foxes. Because I think fun dresses should not be exclusively for ladypeople. Shockingly, …

My subjects were the Environmental Chimeras, which I sometimes spelled Kimaerhas because I was feeling Artistic like that. Anyway, the results were six brush pen pieces, each one illustrating …
