I just learned that today is International Dog Day, and as it happens I have just the piece for it! Everyone, this is Daghri the Lake Wolf, Moon-Eyed Dog, She Who Devours and Eater of Evil. Properly she’s another kimaerha, like Astrhopi and Rhondi, and with them creates a quasi Creator-Preserver-Destroyer triad. My thinking went …
Scroll down to read one page at a time, or click here to see it all laid out at once. In memory of Archimedes, who was loved very much and will be missed even more. And for Kitty and Gracie and Marco and Nyx, and all the cats who have gone before. Notes: This comic …
What happened was about a year ago it occurred to me that what my publishing company, Heliopause Productions, really needed was a mascot. Someone cute and approachable with a good sense of humor, who represented the best of what my art and stories were like. I was on a plane coming home from AnthroCon 2018 …
A small (literally) personal piece I completed between book projects at the end of 2018—but only now am I getting around to posting it. I’ve been muddling with the design of this character for years now, and every time I level up my art skills I like to have another crack at her. I’m pretty …
A set of five little (3.5″x5″) pieces for the 2018 World Fantasy Artshow that I completed earlier this month! First up, the WITCHY KITTIES! This is Ursula. She could be named after Ursula K. Le Guin, but she’s also got a chicken in the back of her cauldron and that seems reminiscent of Ursula Vernon. …
I’ve been saying for years that I would eventually add Pluto to my Planet Horse series, and last month I finally pushed it forward and finished it! Pluto my not be an official planet anymore, but he will always be a planet in my heart. However, in a nod to his current scientific status as …
A quick gander through my online gallery shows a shocking absence! The original cover art for Professor Odd Episode 8: “Chronostrophe“! Colored pencils on 12″x9″ bristol board, 2016. I went through a number of concepts before settling on this one. It makes visual reference to a number of things from the story, and as such makes …
I got back from BLFC itching to paint something cute and colorful so of course more Strange Owls came out. These are some Saw-whet owlets in (l-r) a Moss Cadet hat, a Hazy Shade pixie hat, and a Sunflower Petal hat by Chronographia von Strange Hours. Photo reference from Kathy and Sam on Flickr. Prints and …
Two watercolor commissions, one recent, one… not so recent. This was a take-home order from AnthroCon 2016, which I had to put on hold for a couple of months while I moved to Bend. I was doing a lot of yoga in defense of my sanity, and the affirmation of eagle pose (Amidst life’s storms, I stand …
Righto, so it’s been a very busy, happy summer in a stressful sort of way. Conventions, moving, a friend’s wedding, more conventions (MOVING) so naturally I’ve been painting more cute owls in strange hats. These darlings are modeling the Yellow-grey pixie, flotsam shell, and Fiddler’s Green fiddlehead hats! Both the originals will be up for …
