The Woman and the Dragon


This is the front cover for the Revelation study guide I mentioned in the previous post. This image is taken from the narrative in chapter 12. Being that the final cover was only about 8 inches tall, I would approach the drawing a little differently if I had to do it again...perhaps more of a flat, graphic approach instead of all the detail...perhaps a bit more art nouveau perhaps even hinting at stained glass. Anyway, both drawings were very well received.

John the Revelator



The image is based on the book of Revelation chapter 1 where John first hears the voice behind him and turns to see a bright light. The illustration is being used for a study booklet corresponding to a sermon series. It will be used for the back cover. The front cover will be posted as soon as I'm finished with it.

The Palmyra Initiative


I just finished this commission for a couple my wife and I are friends with. The husband got me a great deal on a new paint job for my Trans Am, and said he'd knock even more off if he and his wife could have a piece of art done by me. I immediately agreed. Their kid was all-to-willing to be the villain in the piece. They haven't even seen it, yet. I hope they like it.

It's brush and ink on watercolor paper. The star field and some highlights are white gouache.
