Is that what that is??

Absolutely! I'd be honored to have a print made and donate it honestly. I'll send you a message.

Of course! The show is one of my favorite things in the world

I'm assuming pronouncing them correctly would probably do something awful to your sanity anyway

Agreed, it gets better every time. Saw it at the drive-in this past fall on a gloomy night, it was amazing. And how did they make the fog move like that??

Great piece as always. That sequence stunned me to my core. The theater was just jaw-dropped, buzzing silence as it unfolded.

Loved, even

Tor or Del Rey. I'm pretty good at it now since I routinely destroy my bookshelves to send my portfolio to the right ADs

Loves the Terror. Did you read the book?

Oof that last paragraph though.

#Illustration I painted of one of my favorite local personalities here in Oregon, Joanne Rideout who hosts The Ship Report radio show up in Astoria. Oregon Field Guide did a great piece on her a while back on @opb.org. @shipreport.bsky.social

Love this

So it's probably an early Georgia O'Keefe then

Another illustration I did from the same #YA novel I wrote, drawn and painted in procreate! Painting a lunar eclipse was really challenging and fun.

That is incredible

Still my favorite since I was a kid. Number 001 in my book.

Haha do we though?

Thank you!

Hey @redlettermedia.com did you ever frame the BOTW movie poster I sent you?

Here's a spec book cover I painted for William Hope Hodgson's weird horror novel The House On The Borderlands. Not pictured: all the humiliating reference photos of me modeling for the main subject.
