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.
I’ve been having a rather not so spectacular month – with lots of things [...]

I started this piece as a pencil sketch for The Borgia Popes, an Ohio band, from the Cincinnati post-punk scene in the 90’s, for use in their album cover.
I wanted it to have a very Beksinski feel to it, dark, brooding, and mysterious. Zdislaw Beksinski was a great influence on my art, and one of [...]
