Feel free to ask me things well I finish pieces to show everyone! Added the ask me link again.

New works finished soon!

Mon, 16 Jul 2012 17:01:17 -0700

Starting a new painting today and finishing up some newer pieces this week as well. New images on the way :)

My most recent pieces are a bit darker in context to suit the show they are for titled Enter The Void with Nomi Chi and a bunch of other fine folks. Just did the first layer of a pretty twisted piece involving the Virgin Mary and The land before time. Most enjoyable indeed
