A frame! More to come...

Hope you all had a great summer! I've got some stuff on the go I'm eager to tell you all about. Unfortunately, It's going to have to wait for now.

Praise for Thoughts & Progress booklet!

I was unbelievably complimented today when I read Andy Nulman's (President of Just for laughs) newest blog post exclaiming his delights on the Thoughts & Progress booklet I created for the painting 'The Boastful Ghost'. Andy instigated the idea for the booklet and he writes about how much value is added in discovering the work that went into something.

NEW - Thoughts & Progress concept art booklets

NEW to my online store: ever wonder about the process I go through to make my paintings? Starting with one of my most popular images 'The Boastful Ghost' - I assembled the first in a new series of booklets called Thoughts & Progress. Inside I disclose where the idea came from, all the planning involved and show all the drawings during the process - no steps have been withheld!
(Think of it like the audio commentary or 'making of' featurette on your favorite DVD's!)
