Boudicca

Boudicca, Celtic warrior queen of the Iceni people of Eastern England. After the Romans took their land, stripped her, flogged her and raped her daughters, she led a rebellion against them, destroying several cities and armies in the process. Badass.

Fassbender

I sometimes forget how relaxing it is to draw portraits of people - for me anyway. This one of Michael Fassbender took me about 45 minutes.

Moonlight

There's something very comforting about the moon. It is Earth's best friend - so far away, yet so close. I know it's always going to be there, in my lifetime anyway, a continuous glowing presence in the dark. According to Japanese folklore there is a rabbit in the moon. I enjoy a nice full moon. And this guy is enjoying one as well as he plays a shamisen.

It's a book!

The first copies of Wooden Rose in physical form arrived today!

Mayan Mysteries

Here are some scenes that I did for a game at FableVision called Mayan Mysteries, commissioned by Dig-It Games. It was a great project. I've always had a fascination with ancient cultures and art, so recreating the Mayan art style was fun and artistically challenging. I also learned a lot about the Mayans that I never new before. Yes, they really did eat dogs and monkeys.

The first five are scenes for a hidden objects game. I created the backgrounds for them, and the wonderful characters were done by illustrator Ellen Crenshaw. The last two are a couple of Mayan-style murals that I designed, but they never got used. At least I can show them off here :)

Happy Valentine's Day!

Kickstarter Rewards

The buttons and stickers arrived! These are part of the rewards I offered for my Kickstarter campaign. Now I've got to finish the book itself. Almost there...
