Yesterday, in a hazy, covid induced fog, I completed this painting of Morfydd Clark as Galadriel. This fanart piece was created in the vein of the work that I have been doing in relation to the Wheel of Time TV series since 2019. Taking the actors cast in the show and depicting them as the…
“I deny you. You have no power over me, and I will not kneel to you, alive or dead.” Rand Al’Thor – The Eye of the World – Robert Jordan. Josha Stradowski is an excellent Rand. Both in appearance and execution. Aside from whatever objections I have about the writing of the TV show I…
As you may know, I have been on a journey to create 100 portraits. I am counting the piece I posted today, depicting Tom Holland, as #60/100. This process has stretched out far longer than I had hoped. My goal was to complete 100 portraits in 2021. I realized at about number 50 that that…
In this video I share my process of creating a portrait of Moiraine Damodred. Aes Sadai of Tarvalon as played by Rosamund Pike in the upcoming series produced by Amazon Prime TV. The struggles to see correctly continue. But I do feel like I’m growing in my ability to draw and paint portraits. Procreate is…

This morning, I am thinking about perfectionism. During a recent conversation I had with my very talented wife about talent, skill level and completing projects, she made a comment that made me think about this topic. (See her work on her instagram account here) One thing you need to know about my wife is that…
Hey everyone! Last year I decided to try my hand at creating some superhero fan art. I started with none other than the fastest man alive. The Flash. Moved onto the Green Arrow and just recently finished Supergirl. I personally think that the actors, Grant Gustin, Stephen Amell and Melissa Benoist have been very well…
I always tell my kids that I don’t really care what their marks are looking like in school as long as they give 100% of their effort. I believe if they apply this mindset to life, they will ultimately succeed. We all have different levels of passive talent. However, if we learn to apply ourselves…
This October I’m undertaking an epic project to participate in inktober. If you’re unfamiliar with inktober you should get acquainted! My goal for the month is to draw a 21″ x 70″ ink piece around a battle that I am writing towards in my novel, Possum Awesome and the Tome of Tomorrows. The novel is…
