Memory Lane - Day 1

Since I don't have any new work I can show at the moment and since it's about time I post some art, I thought I'd take you for a little trip down memory lane. This week I'll be posting work from my time in art school, two or three pieces a day.

I thought I'd start with my first really big, multi-figure piece that I ominously titled 'The Beast of the Moors'.


This second piece was an assignment where we had to illustrate a quote that my instructor Steven Player came up with, something about a crack to hell opening up below a cathedral.


Check back all week for more mildly embarrassing posts...

  4. Thanks guys!

    Tyler - Yeah, Steven Player's incredible. I was really lucky to get to learn from him. A couple of my pieces from his classes are actually still in my portfolio :). I'm dying to see that last D&D piece you mentioned, I'm sure it's killer. Are those all oils? They look like it.

    Capprotti - Nah, it's oil on canvas (which I don't do much anymore) I might post a couple of digital pieces along the way though.

  6. I remember the teeth on that first piece kinda scared me when I saw it for the first time in your apartment.

    The second one--I was on a Charles de Lint kick a while back & (I wish I could remember which book!) there was a really intense scene with a green man & a chapel in the forest. Your painting reminds me of that.
