Looks like the Northeast might actually have a real Winter this year (compared to last year, where it was unseasonably warm and snow-less.) Today was New York city's first real snow fall and I decided to paint a Winter scene.

As I was looking through my "Unfinished" folder (we all have that folder, right?? :-) I stumbled upon this one and thought it was worth finishing. The painting used to be taller and show more of that floating structure, but after I cropped it, I thought there was a stronger relationship between the structure and the figure.

Eminent Domain playing cards
Here's a couple of cards I did for the Eminent Domain board game by Seth Jaffee. This was a fun challenge since I don't normally illustrate so small, but I think the whole project turned out great. Gavan Brown did the very cool and slick graphic design for Eminent Domain.

Deep Sea Machinery (in progress)
This started as an underwater ice base, but the image is evolving into something more..organic. I think I'll push this further and see where it ends up.

two concepts
Did two for CA.org's Environment challenge: The first is Shanghai 2112 and the second was for a theme entitled The Dragon's Nest.
The Dragon's Nest.. although I'll probably call this the Devil's Orchard since those egg like things remind me of grapes :D
Shanghai 2112
Here's my lil writeup: Through the century, rapid development and advancement in engineering spawned seemingly endless amount of super towers. Concerned about the quality of life from a very vocal public, the Government designated specific land plots to preserve the natural parks that near the Huangpu River. In response, powerful real estate moguls crowded all their skyscrapers into the same tiny spaces. The result? A plethora of 500th+ floor towers that meld and blend into each other.The Dragon's Nest.. although I'll probably call this the Devil's Orchard since those egg like things remind me of grapes :D
Version II: Added some crows

Fishermen
The sea has always interested me as a subject to paint, mostly because I find it a complicated subject matter. My all time favorite painter, J.M.W Turner,did the ocean justice (then again, he managed to do most things mere mortals can't do). Recently I've (re)discovered the colorful seascapes by Sorolla which ignited my interest in the ocean. One aspect of Sorolla that I love is that he used an incredibly vibrant color palette, one different from my predominately earthy one. My goal this summer is to start using cool temperature hues and bright values which I normally shy away from.
For fun, I included a gif animation of my progress steps for "Fishermen."

Red Sail
Also posted is the photo ref which served as the inspiration, which Tom took while we were in Bermuda last year. I think he took this one while we were in a fast moving boat but fortunately the snap shot was clear enough for all the little things, like the rigging.

Summertime mood!
As I was going over the bulk of my work that I've done in recent years, I noticed that I haven't painted one single blue sky. I painted many skies but none of them really blue. Also startling is that most of my paintings had the absence of blue colors. I guess that makes sense since I'm mostly inclined to use earthy tones.
Well, it was time to change that!
I took a look at my inspiration folder and found a couple of shots I took when I visited Bermuda last summer. Now there's a country that's surrounded by cool colors of the world. :-)

Robot + Dragon + NYC inspiration =?
Stretching my boundaries a little, I'm starting to paint subject matter I don't normally tackle. So for starters, this one is part robot, part dragon and a little new york inspiration by way of color palette. that, and this city's scaffolding always reminds me it's perpetually under construction.
