New work: The In-Between
The passage in-between Dante’s circles of Hell? Some twisted purgatory? Or is it simply an expression of the stiff, contorted and vulnerable feelings of having to wait (as one woman suggested on Facebook)? You decide.

The Death Maiden
Loosely inspired by “Death and the Maiden”, this piece (there’s a few more to go) was created for a little magazine inclusion coming out in April. However, as of this moment I’m not entirely sure that’s going to happen. Sadly the wonderful lady that’s handling all of that has been quite ill for some time. In any case, I’ll keep working and will share updates about the mag as I get them.

The End
The other morning I woke up with this stuck in my head and had to get it out. I’m not sure I really consider this a finished “piece” but I kinda dig it for what it is. I was pretty lucky to have all the parts available to put it together as a kind of matte painting.

Fine Art Prints at ImageKind
I’ve just discovered ImageKind and I’m wondering where they’ve been all my life. This site is amazing. If you’re interested in purchasing fine art prints, this is definitely the place. You have 7 different paper options, a multitude of gorgeous matting options, and a massive selection of frames. It’s a one stop shop. Love it!
If you’re trying to match your wall color, no problem.

Fully custom matting options.
As you make your framing choices, you can see what the piece will look like.
You also have the option of gallery wraps of various styles.

“Crowley”

As promised, here is the final collaborative piece Rich Brewer and I have been working on. Below is his poem in case you can’t read it..
I have a secret to tell you, come gather my sheep,
But do what thou wilt, and hold what thou keeps.
Slaves shall serve, there is no place for the meek.
My words will fall on you like the whip to the meat,
And things from a life lived will become obsolete.I am the one that crawled from the center named Hadit.
I am the one that expands and grows with the power of Nuit.
I am the conqueror of all things holding the hand of Rah-Hoor-Khuit.Through my eyes I see, through reality I speak.
The masses are but men but I am the Beast.
With Pan and Dionysus I dream, gentle flesh caresses my feet.
Simple sacrifice is thy passage, come join to claim thy seat.
And as the darkness closes in like the sickle to the wheat,
Whisper My name so in the fields the Magician thou shall meet. -
New piece coming…
I’ve been working on a collaborative piece with Rich Brewer, a local, extremely talented illustrator and writer. He sent me a drawing and a poem and it was my job to bring it all together. This has been a new experience for me. I’ve never done a collaborative project like this before, but it’s really been a blast and I’m hoping to work like this more in the future. Our goal with this is to submit it to the Aleister Crowley “Do What Thou Wilt” Art Show. Wish us luck!
I’ll share this piece tonight once it’s completed.

Beating the Winter Blues (ArtistDaily)
A great little article from Artist Daily with advice on breaking the winter creative block. While the article is primarily targeted for plein air artists, I think we all could use some of these tips.
