Speculative & Concept Art
Worlds Beyond Imagination
From the surface of Mars to enchanted realms — original paintings, book covers, album art, and concept work envisioning futures and fantasies that don't exist yet.
The Process
The Digital Canvas
My career as an artist has taken me through virtually every medium available. One of my particular strengths is digital art — I'm highly experienced with the Adobe Creative Suite, especially Photoshop for image creation and After Effects for animation. I've been an artist all my life, and that experience gives me the ability to approach a project creatively rather than simply knowing how to operate the software. If you can imagine it, there's a good chance I can create it.

Digital Fantasy Prints
A series of digital fantasy prints available for purchase — characters, worlds, and scenes from the imagination. All prints are available through the Art Store Front. Each began as concept art for the book covers below — some made the front, some the back, some were blended together, and a few live only in the story world. See if you can spot the connections.
