Avatar: The Last Airbender. The Teen Years.

Ok so any fan of the show Avatar knows that he is the last Airbender. Like ever. They were all killed by an imperialistic Fire Lord named Ozai. Well that's a heavy thing to deal with. Right? Being the sole survivor of an entire race. That's a lot for a 12 year old to handle. So it's my speculation that when Aang reaches 15-17 years of age he falls in with the emo crowd. I believe this is even what he may of looked like during that phase in his life.

Nurse On This Illustration

Howdy everyone. I've been meaning to post this for a few weeks now but boy a brotha has been busy. Busy doing thiiis busy doing thaaat. It doesn't really matter what I've been up to but I will say a decent percentage has been doing some new artwork. Which is exciting for me, but also probably VERY exciting for you, my fans, who have been starved of new ecol artwork for some time now. So here we have an illustration I did for the American Journal of Nursing. Pretty fancy gig, right? I thought so too. This piece was done in acrylics and is based off of a particular article in the journal so that is why the subject matter is what it is. They seemed happy with it so I hope the use me again sometime in the future.

The Dog Days Aren't Over

Yo dog, I haven't done one of these in awhile. I used to crank these puppies out like it was nothing. Like it was my job. In fact, it WAS my job. Well here is a brand new pet portrait. This one is a bit different as it was done in oils. I used to do the other ones in watercolor. The reason being I actually made one in watercolor and it just didn't come out that well. And I owed to it to myself and the client to deliver nothing less than an incredible portrait. I knew with oils I could accomplish that. I'm not sure if the client ended up liking this version, but I sure do. And that's what counts.
