Artist's Comments

Lest you think I have been in complete hibernation . . .


These two pen & ink drawings are for a project I am working on which will hopefully come to light in the not-too-distant future. They are inspired by a great deal of Art Nouveau illustration and book design. The thorny vines are intended to be stylized wild rasberries while the plants at their feet are bloodroot.

Spectacular. I can't stop looking at it, there's so many tiny details to take in!

Wow, this is really fantastic! It's so lovely and dark and strange. I like how you're using images that would normally come across as morbid and making them truly beautiful.

Simply amazing work. Truly reminscient of those old styles but with a character all of its own. I love the grand weave of the design as well as the anatomy, texture and interaction between elements.

Morris and Co. eat your heart out! :D

Your comment on this piece has to be one of my favorites of the numerous comments I've received here at DA. You've hit the nail on the head, so to speak, regarding many of the themes and ideas that are important to me.

The image of the skeleton showing through the skins of the deer really reminds me of what always makes me think of how fragile life is.
That just under a little bit of skin and flesh, we're all just bones.

Awesome job, by the way. I love the aged look you gave it.
I could completely see it in an 18th century storybook or something.

Beautiful work.
