A few books I'll be in this year..

My digital Lovecraft artwork from the Exhibit of Unspeakable Things will be appearing in this insanely huge collection of artwork inspired by H.P Lovecraft. The image above should give away one of the artists included in the book, H.R Giger. I'm excited to have one of my favorite authors taking part in the book, Thomas Ligotti.

One of the three panels from this work also appears in a hardbound Lovecraft Exhibit catalogue from the show at Maison d'Ailleurs in Switzerland. I think it's only available in Europe, here's a thread discussing it.























Comic Arf, Craig Yoe's 4th book in his series of awesome art and comics will be published this summer. I created half a dozen letters inspired by the shapes of demonic characters that will be appearing in the book. I'll be doing a full alphabet to match those I made for Comic Arf later this year which may or may not become a small art book. Details on previous issues of Arf can be found at the Arf Lovers blog.

I also have artwork appearing in the Beasts! Book 2 from Fantagraphics, coming later this year. And I'm creating 4 digital pieces for an art magazine in the shape of a coffin called Voida Voida that will be published somewhere in Europe this spring/summer. I have a few other book projects I'm working on but I won't mention them here until details are finalized.

1,000 Beasts!

I've posted the first batch of around 300 from a series of one thousand beast ink and brush illustrations on this flickr page.

I'll be updating the page with more art and additional details later this week. All artwork is for sale priced at 10 dollars per beast or 5 dollars each if you purchase at least 10. If interested contact me at evilenergy@yahoo.com for further details.

Soon..

Everything is about ready to go, I'll be posting a link to a new flickr gallery with all the ink drawings for sale.

Circle Ov Thee Wurm

I've been scanning in hundreds of recent ink and brush beast drawings that I've spent a great deal of time working on. The above is a collage of a handful of them. I'll be setting up a flickr page specifically for the series of which there will be a total of over one thousand. I'll have the first chunk of them on display and for sale starting this upcoming weekend.

Things To Come

Starting next year I'll be updating this blog a lot more often. I've been busy working on a lot of things coming out next year and look forward to showing some of that here. I have a huge pile of artwork that is about ready to sell, dozens of paintings of various sizes, hundreds of drawings and more. Details soon.

Traveling Magician

Here's a digital collage sketch I threw together recently. Still rough but it gets the idea across. A magician from the Land Of The Moth passes across the lands of illusion, a continent dominated by a cult of magicians. One small part of a vast fantasy world that I'm working on.
