I have a handful of prints that were damaged in shipping, not major damage – just some slight bending of the corners that makes them otherwise unsaleable.

2 [both sold] of which is a 20×10 metallic proof for the latest artwork, “Behold the Machine”. They are test runs, the white point is a bit wide – makes for a neat glow on the ice and fog, but not quite what I wanted. They also have 2 millimeters of corner crimping in their upper right corners – pretty much unnoticeable, especially if they are matted or mounted.

I am selling these for $7.50 each.

The other 2 [both sold] is a 16×20 metallic print of “Conception” (the mechanical dragonfly and mechanical nymph). Same deal – a very small crimp at the upper right corner. I am selling those for $15 each.

Shipping is $6 per order, priority- so if you buy two, you pay shipping only once.

The work I would put into making new listings, would negate the purpose of selling them – so, if you are interested, you will need to contact me through my contact form. I will edit this post when these prints are gone.

I have always thought of Michael Parkes as nothing short of amazing. He and Brom are at the top of my list as living artists are concerned.

Watching this video, I am seeing that I can take my works a bit further, shoot a bit higher; Well, I guess I always have that in mind, but currently I am thinking in specific new directions and contemplating new areas of focus.

I plan to get back into doing oils as soon as possible. I have that children’s book I need to work on now – but I think some new oils are what I’ll be working at in my “down-time”.

Recently done for Vernian Process – the original painting is 48×24 inches in acrylic on birch panel.

The details are tiny, with a lot of single-hair brush work done.

There are polar bears the size of dimes, swirls and twirls the size of pin-heads, needle-thin ropes and lines, and a ton of details and hidden images hidden within hidden images – made so that its owner can find many, many new things throughout the years.

Artwork is never finished, only abandoned – though the prints are available now, the painting may see some additional work before I finally let go of it.

20×10 Metallic prints, and PRESALES on 12 from each of the giclees on canvas, giclees on Rag Paper, and Large Metallic Prints are available in the store. Though I hand-sign all limited edition prints, and hand-embellish my signature on all canvas giclees, only #s I, II and 1-10 of these limited editions will be hand-embellished.

I am just finishing up that new work for Vernian Process. It has taken many many wonderful years off my life doing so in 24-hour shifts with single-hair brushes and many, many multiple molecule-thin ghostly layers placed carefully in high-detail atop a 48 inch by 24 inch birch wood panel.

Prints will be available – as soon as I scrape together the many hundreds it takes me for photographing, and color matching/proofing.

… which may take a little while longer as we are still gathering funds for paper and marker with which to write “Providence Rhode Island or Bust!” on, so we can spend less time standing by the highway and more time being abducted by cannibalistic hillbillies.

So, since I have nothing new of my own to share just this second:

Beth makes all manner of interesting things in her strange, unique, and wonderful ways.

Her unique combination of pencil, pen, and digital multimedia works come in hundreds of flavors, many of which taste like Cthulhu.

You can see more of her work, on her blog, which I designed much better than my blog… My blog gets replaced as soon as I can get rid of the google ads, which will happen as soon as I make up all the time they have uglied up my site count for something, in the form of a check hopefully.

Outdated Teaser Photo of coming V/P painting:

Beth and I need to stock up on prints, merchandise, and travelling expenses for Templecon in Providence, RI, where she and I will be guests of honor.

To celebrate a rather rough week, All originals are drastically reduced in price!

I suppose I need not mention this is a first-come, first serve deal, as there is only one of each.

The most drastically reduced are these three recent engravings on Ampersand Archival clayboard:

A quick photo post of my latest sculpture, from a short story I am working on.

… for lack of a better name, I don’t think it would actually crawl on its eyeball.

The unfinished product. Finished pics at my Flickr account.

This is my second clay sculpture ever. The third is light years beyond this one, and in the works.

What I am loving about sculpture is that I do not have to think too much on lighting, reflection, and shading – most of it is done of course by it being a 3-d object already, and I am finding that I can do this stuff well enough that making sculptures is much quicker than making sketches and designs to work from.

I had forgotten how much I liked sculpting.

When I was a kid, I must have split my thumb open about fifty times making a huge wooden dragon with 8 legs, 3 heads, 4 wings, feathered bodies and feathered wings and highly detailed features down to the pointy teeth and claws. I was actually always better at sculpting than I was drawing – and from the way the piece after this one is coming along, I think I can easily and quickly get there again… and this ceramic clay is much easier than wood.

This might soon become a part of my process for making paintings.

There is now a preview available.

Not having seen it before publication, I must admit, I was slightly concerned about what caliber artists I might find myself mixed in with, other than Brom. Brom, Bajema, and Santerineross are why I was so incredibly thrilled to be in this piece.

I am pleased to say there are a good number of really amazing works in there – making me feel all the more privileged for being a part of it.

Were I not already getting a copy for free, I’d definitely buy it.

Beth and I are on pages 19 through 21, and the preview starts at chapter 6, so unfortunately we are out of the web preview, all the more reason to check it out (you could see my stuff here) – plenty of interesting artists to look through.
