An image in my mind for years:
A dragon Ouroboros made of weapons from throughout time, eating it's own tail. It's head is made of instruments of torture, of various kinds. Within that image, broken dolls littering a ruined landscape. It is an image of death. It is an image of human nature. Every war, in all of history, is built upon the broken backs of dead children. Why is it easier to kill than to talk through our problems? Is it fundamental to being human, or is it simply that we surround ourselves with so many weapons that we have made it much easier to kill each other? Or is murder the ultimate form of social anxiety? Peace, like love, is a choice.
Who do you CHOOSE to be?

Happy Birthday to Me! After 51 rotations around the sun, I decided to give myself a present and share an image (and close-ups) of the project that has been taking up so much of my time, LUPIS THE BOLD, along with a potential description of the basic plot. I hope you like it. I swear, one day, this will be a real thing you can interact with!

Happy Easter to those who celebrate. Happy Last Day of March to everyone else. I hope everyone was able to spend this Sunday the way they needed to: With Family, Friends and Love or as I did, with quiet, contemplation and rest. However you did so, you are loved and appreciated--especially by me. Thanks as always for following me on life's journey. More art coming soon.

A Big Announcement this morning! Four years ago, we had a one-time sale with Pulse Gallery in order to release the most popular image I have ever made, "Another Night at the Warp Core Cafe"! That was supposed to be it. The End. BUT, after years of requests, we have repartnered with Pulse to bring you the image again! With FOUR EdItions and three sizes!
And it isn't a one time sale!
Go to the link and check it out!
And thank you to everyone who has shown love to the piece over the years!
EDIT: Any questions about the Gallery website, shipping or printing questions should be directed to the Gallery. I just did the art.

Thank you to anyone who has helped with the first few days of the GoFundMe account to help my Mom rebuild from her devastating house fire. You have all been very generous. We have hit the point where it's time to re-share and see if we can keep sharing and spreading the word. Any donation truly helps. Anytime that anyone spreads the word and helps get this in front of people it really helps to relieve some of the pressure. We are not expecting insurance to do anything other than the absolute bare minimum--but you can help. "Help us, Obi-Wan Kenobi." And thank you all again from the bottom of our hearts.

As some of you know, my Mom's house on her farm in Georgia was destroyed by a fire on the morning of April 2nd --even as she has been recovering from spinal surgery on her neck. It is a very hard situation. Her house, her car, almost all of her clothes and belongings--all gone. And while she and her two dogs were able to escape the blaze, her four cats were not as lucky. But she still wants to rebuild. Which means we need a vehicle, temporary housing on her land, demolition of her old house and a new replacement built where the old house stood. It will be a long road. Any help of any kind would be beyond appreciated. And thank you so much to any who can help and share this link through social media.

I hope everyone has Happy Holidays this year, and we can have a Prosperous and Healthy New Year for 2022. Love to everyone.
Here is a SPECIAL EDITION of an old piece of art as a present.

May The Fourth Be With You. Here is a look at my Star Wars Celebration 2020 print OTHER PLACES: The Future, The Past, Old Friends Long Gone. It SOLD OUT so fast last year there wasn't an opportunity to celebrate all the work that went into it--and it would have felt like bragging. Today is the day. Because of COVID last year and the convention getting delayed and then cancelled, it pretty much was the only freelance piece I worked on last year. Lots of fun easter eggs and references, as I am known to do. There are animals that were designed for Dagobah by Ralph McQuarrie and Terryl Whitlatch. There are many references to The Force and Force Users, as well as both the current canon and Star Wars Legends. Hope you all enjoyed it while it was available.
