Cropped from the full-size piece to feature the airship only to make for a more up close, boldly detailed, and vivid view of the work (available as 18×12 metallic prints, and as 36×24 giclees on canvas in my store)
This desktop is 1800 x 1200, but can be resized or stretched to fit your needs.

“This is Why We Can’t Have Nice Things” - cover for gatehouse gazette #10 done in pen and ink. Digitally colored for desktop wallpaper use.
I’m getting closer to being done with this series, and finished with the book… well, the art book anyway.
The new Adventurer Name Generator (not to be confused with the Secret Mission Adventure Generator) is finished. Give it a spin - a new name every day for you, or someone you love, or someone you don’t love very much at all.
if you’re interested in keeping up on my artwork, want to be on the lookout for sales and special offers, or simply wish to maintain your internet love affair with pictures of my unshaven feet, you can find my new Facebook page here:

A month back, I did a cover image for the Gatehouse Gazette, my second cover for them. The Gatehouse Gazette being a black and white publication, with a standard of using line-art for the covers, I decided to do the piece in pen and ink.
Though not exactly an expressive and creative masterpiece by any stretch, the piece made me happy looking at it, as it reminded me very much of the sorts of things I used to draw at my desk behind a makeshift wall crafted of several propped up …
Today, I sent off three giclees to Gallery Nucleus for the “Lift Off!” art show, adding subtle miniature new artworks within each piece including (but not limited to) added airships, additional polar bears, bottles of rum, additional cephalopods, brightened constellations and other details in order to make each giclee its own unique piece of art.

\"To the Fairest\"
From the original 12x15 acrylic painting on canvas, the metallic paper presents a wonderful added dimension of color and vibrance to this somewhat fairy-tale inspired piece.
