About Me

I am a painter, engraver, sculptor, and woodworker living in Grand Rapids, MI. I'm in art collection books, sci-fi/fantasy/speculative fiction/Gothic/steampunk magazines, and have done a great amount of magazine and book covers - Well-known means *nothing* financially; print sales (ideally) support my ability to continue visiting conventions and to continue making art, so please visit my store.

The Mighty Bloop

The Mighty Bloop

Painted in acrylic on tempered hardboard backed with birch, 12 by 24 inches – added to the airships and tentacles series because I might as well – since the book is not yet compiled and won’t be in time for Holiday selling.

NYC – Free Downloadable Art, and Holiday Cards

I’ve been invited to be a guest, along with my artwork, on the set of a reality TV show filming in NYC – which may turn out to be a great opportunity for me.
But, as things with artists go, the first opportunity in any opportunity is the opportunity to spend a great deal of time [...]

Blue Things

Blue Things

Yeah, I know, people have gotten pretty used to me making with the fantastical steampunk stuff – but there are a lot of times when the things in my head aren’t exactly in the genres I’m known for, often times these things aren’t exactly things people would want hanging on their walls, or even like.
That, [...]

Infernal Teardown and Commissions Available Again

Infernal Teardown and Commissions Available Again

So, this last week we wrapped up the Infernal Device show at the Gerald R Ford Museum in Grand Rapids, Michigan.
Tear-down went pretty smoothly, considering that we had to break down nearly two tons of complicated mechanical machinery in less than two days. From standing atop our 17-foot tall wind and solar power sculpture and [...]

The End of the Series

The End of the Series

Think of a visual representation of a statements or concept, as a series or a single image.
Consider a style or media that would be striking, and imagine it taken to a level beyond your ability.
Research said media if it is new, and think on the concept or image for a while – but not [...]
