Inspired by the classic story “The Electric Ant” and my own novella Dreck, this is acrylic on cardboard with some digital manipulation.I painted this for my novel The Lasting Lands. This is a character named Tyrl, sort of like the White Rabbit of Wonderland… but not really.And this is Adelaide, the main character of the book. It could use some work, but you get the idea.That’s a Chunky! A portrait of the beloved character from I Think You Should Leave with Tim Robinson.I made this haunted house from old photographs using a technique I developed involving parallel lines of varying thickness.A bottlecap portrait of Mario that I’ve been meaning to improve upon for years.This portrait of Philip K. Dick was based on my somewhat impromptu entry in El Paso’s 2014 Chalk the Block festival. The line is from VALIS.
The same PKD portrait stylized using a repeating pattern I designed.Adelaide Batiste of The Lasting Lands.Tyrl of The Lasting Lands as a rabbit.Thrako of The Lasting Lands as a firecat.This is a maze I designed for the cover of my unfinished, currently-on-hold novel Two-Headed Lamb.A portrait of a creepy clown I drew as a teenager. When I was a kid, I drew a bunch of clowns like this in class and sold them for a dollar apiece.A pencil sketch of forest giant with a walking stick.
A yeti I made out of snow next to my wife, who is 5′1″. I grew up in a part of Texas where it rarely snows even an inch. This was my first full-size snowman, and I may have gone a bit overboard.This is fun to do at restaurants while waiting for the food to come. Just shake some pepper on a plate, and get to work!A salty portrait of the great Django Reinhardt.
