RIP CHRISTOPHER LEE
What a wonderful actor. It will be hard to imagine the world without him.
I'm still holding out hope that he will rise from the grave soon.
All he needs are a few drops of blood.
I'm prepared to donate some...

FIRE AND BLOOD
In honor of the new season
of GAME OF THRONES.
Much like the Mother of
Dragons this painting rose from the fire too. It was narrowly a complete
disaster.
When I’m finished a piece
of artwork I usually spray a bit of “Krylon Matte Finish” over the painting. Naturally,
I did so here, but, after lightly spaying, a hazy cloudy coat suddenly appeared
over the painting. I thought it would go away after it dried. It didn’t. So, I sprayed
a heavier coat; it got worst.
I thought it was unsalvageable.
Out of desperation I sprayed some “Krylon Workable Fixatif.” It cleared up much
of the haze, but unfortunately, a lot of the color pencil detail has seemed to
have melted away.
However, I’m happy I saved
as much as I could.
This painting is a real
Targaryen, she walked out the flames unburned.

GAME OF STONES
“Ice age in coming,”
A bit of explanation:
I was working on a recent commission where the clients wanted
a poster featuring “Flintstones-esque” characters. I worked on it while
watching the latest season of “Game of Thrones;” and I thought wouldn’t it be funny
to have some Flintstones characters dressed as characters from “A Song of Ice
and Fire.” The idea was so funny I couldn’t resist forgetting about, and drew
this up after finishing the commission.
I hope everyone as a good laugh as I did painting these
things up.

“IT’S ONLY FOREVER, NOT LONG AT ALL”
I’m on a magical quest to
make a Labyrinth painting that I am happy with!
Also, this little exercise
tracks how much growth I’ve had as an artist; to essentially, see if I’m any
good at this at all.
So, I obsessively redrawing
things I thought was lacking at the time, and make side-by-side comparisons all
for the sake of learning.
As for this painting, I’m
overall happy with it. However, I think I
missed the mark on the portrait.
This means, sometime in the
future, I will make another one.

O SMAUG THE TREMENDOUS
“Very well, O
Barrel-rider.”
Well, after seeing all of “the
Hobbit” movies, I can say I generally enjoyed the series if films.
Yes, I agree with some of
the shortcomings that are widely criticized. But there are so truly neat
moments.
For one, Peter Jackson
nailed the memorable scenes from the book that I could recall from the book.
Bilbo Baggins, the intro to the dwarves, the Goblin King, Riddles in the Dark,
and Smaug!!!
It’s just the stuff that is
in between that are a little rickety.
However, I delighted in
sitting through the journey, there and back again.
