Unseelie Bard by Night

New art!

I’ve just completed the cover art for Bone Walker, by the wonderful Angela Korra’ti. Bone Walker is the upcoming second book in her urban fantasy trilogy. I also did the cover art for the first book, Faerie Blood.

Bone Walker is slated for release this summer!

Pencil line art

Detail of the background trees – my favorite part of the scene!

I’m about to wrap up a big illustration project and for the next few weeks I’ve got a lull in graphic design work, so I’m looking for some quick commissions!
Also, I already know that June is going to be an expensive month with birthdays and Father’s Day and such and no paychecks from one of my regular clients until August…sooo….basically I need to make some money and you can get some awesome artwork done at a fraction of my usual rate!

New Prints available in my Etsy Shop!

The artwork for this year’s Dia de los Muertos poster is complete, with a few tweaks since the original version that I shared. The posters will be available November 2nd at the event in Garfield Park in San Francisco, but if you want a print of just the artwork from the poster, you can get it here, now!

My six-eyed jackalope is also available as a print, and makes a great pairing with the rhino beetle print!

I am very excited to be working with Ani DiFranco’s record label, Righteous Babe Records. First up is a tour poster for Fall 2012, which will be available as a limited edition screenprint. If you aren’t able to pick one up at one of her shows, I’ll have a few of them available for sale online soon!

Ripley was a beautiful and beloved Sphinx who lived at Borderlands Books in San Francisco. Sadly, Ripley passed away due to cancer in May 2010. 

I had started this piece and completed the line art in 2010, but only now had a chance to finish the color. I’m glad that I’ll finally be able to give it to the staff at Borderlands.
