Practicing Art
I’ve been doing daily art for six years now. It’s been interesting to look back and see my long, slow evolution of style, tools, and approach to color, lines, and much more. I’m still not where I can pull an image out of my head and render it perfectly on the page, and likely I…

Space Art
I’ve been making art almost daily, but for some reason I’ve been fixated on creating science fictional scenes. Digital art, and especially the fractal art, lends itself very well to this. I started teaching myself digital art in order to create covers for my own work, especially short stories as it wasn’t economically feasible to…
