Mushroom Satyr

I found a couple of good ones from '10 in a big pile of watercolors collecting dust in my studio (which just happens to be an extra bedroom in my house!). This shroom-savoring satyr was inspired by Brian Froud's Puck, from his book, Faeries. Froud is one of my favorite artists, definitely a huge influence on my style. He designed the creatures in Labyrinth and The Dark Crystal, two of my all time favorites growing up. The baby in Labyrinth was actually played by his son, what do you think of that, eh? Eh?

Campfire

Charcoal drawing of a campfire we made at the fish and game cabin my dad works at this summer. Beautiful place full of blue bells, brown bears, and bald eagles.

Ho ho ho...green lion.

Fawnfish

A recent commission painted in acrylics, really stoked about how this one came out. Dude wanted it for a band poster, so I left the brown water/planet surface (however you want to see it) open for words and dates and what not. Some of the creatures surrounding the catfish-faced fawn are based off of real live animals that still live in the wildernesses of sweet Mother Earth today!!!!

Here's a watercolor I painted recently while on vacation in Alaska, of which this painting has nothing to do with. Its a picture from a national geographic mag I bought while I was there. I think this picture was taken in the republic of Tuva, where they do throat singing...

Bad Mojo no. 5

My latest suicidal voodoo doll, Bad Mojo number 5. This was a commission for a coworker of mine, John, who is in a blues band called the Second Hand Killers. He dangles it from his microphone stand during gigs.
