Centaurs abound

I’ve been exploring some familiar mythological creatures lately. Here’s the first…

newest work

My version of the myth, Icarus. I really enjoy a light-hearted approach to illustration.

Meeting the cowardly lion

Here’s the finished piece. On to the next.

on the drawing board

Here’s the next piece in the works. I’ve just read the original Wizard of Oz for the first time. I grew up with the movie but the book brings so much more imagery to mind. I imagine I’ll have several pieces to come from it, but here is one of the more recognizable scenes.

Here’s the finished piece. It’s been a busy few weeks.

here’s a sketch for a new piece I’m thinking of doing. As you might notice from my work, I’m fond of dragons.
