While growing up, I watched a number of Westerns and was always fascinated by the outlaws. This image was inspired by the idea of a gun-toting and guitar playing outlaw preacher strolling into some random western town. The original concept drawing was created to be used as a poster design for a rockabilly show here in town. The show never happened and rather than abandon the concept, I went ahead and finished it.

Every so often, I'll create an illustration using Adobe Illustrator for the sole purpose of getting more practice drawing the human form. Such was the case with this pin-up illustration of a perky nude blond with hair in her face turning toward the viewer in front of an abstract blue background.

Another ink painting from the theory of Neo-Elegance. This piece was inspired by the description for the sculpture in 'The Stoddard Temple of The Human Spirit' from Ayn Rand's novel, "The Fountainhead". The dimensions of the canvas follow the golden ratio (1:1.618) and the curls of her hair are made using golden spirals. Many of her proportions also match the golden ratio. A precious metal drawing was used as the substructure of the image that was then overlaid with multiple washes of diluted India Ink to build up the shadows and highlights.

This was the first oil painting in what was planned to be a series of four images depicting the four seasons (Autumn, Winter, Spring, Summer). As the wind blows the leaves around her, she pulls her shawl over her shoulders to cover her bare breasts from the chill. It along with the others were inspired by the work of the Art Nouveau artist and father of impossible arabesque hair, Alphonse Mucha. The dimensions of the canvas follow the golden ratio (1:1.618) to lend better visual appeal to the overall image. As I had done with the Neo-Elegance paintings that I created before, a precious metal drawing was used as the substructure of the image, before overlaying it with oil paint.

A few months after I illustrated the poster for My Goodness Gracious and The Terrors, I was asked by a member of My Goodness Gracious to work up the above illustration featuring the "Ant Pack" playing a game of pool.
