It is available as an eBook from Amazon, iTunes, Barnes and Noble and Kobo, and you can also get the paperback edition via Amazon or order it through your local bookstore.

Last year I was approached about doing a series of four elemental horses in the same style as my Planet Horses. I found the idea attractive, though due to the size of the project I recommended to my client that we take things one at a time. I was pleasantly surprised when he turned out …
There are some ideas that take my mind by storm, blowing it and wrecking all the plans I have already set up. These are ideas that demand to be written now, and usually I acquiesce purely in order to get some peace of mind (literally). Then there are the ideas that start slowly, like seeds tentatively …
I am going to AnthroCon next month, and in order to fill up my panels in the art show I decided it would be fun to paint a bunch of cats. Me being me, of course, they had to be quirky, fantastical cats, and thus my Cats of the Week series was born! Each cat …

The first batch, containing Sirius, Regulus, Fomalhaut, Procyon, Polaris and Betelgeuse recently made their debut at the Further Confusion art show. All six originals are currently for sale, and any …
These four paintings were done in October and November of 2013 for an art show at Midwest FurFest (where they all sold, happily). I had wanted to try doing horses as representations of the planets, and began with Jupiter as an experiment. That turned out so well I went on and did the other three …
