Here it is. I've been wanting to get these up, but it's been a busy year. Not much of an excuse, I know, but I have two overload classes this semester and everything seems like it takes longer an...

 I like to put up my work for each year when it's over, but for some reason, I forgot a big chunk of work that I did last summer. I'm not sure why I didn't think to include them, but here they a...

 It has finally happened. After my first year as a lecturer, I went on tenure track at UNG. At three years, I went through a pre-tenure review and was supposed to do my tenure review after five ...

It's finally time to take a look and see what I accomplished in the previous year. As it stacks up, it doesn't seem like a lot, but I did a lot of image prep, production, and video work that does...

 This one really snuck up on me. After five years on tenure track, it is time to submit my final portfolio for consideration. Based on when I started, I thought I still had more time, but it was...

What have I been up to? Well, there's always something. Recently, I finished another illustration. This was a big, complicated one. It was hard for me because of all the complicated parts and con...

It's a bit late, but I thought I should put up work from last year. I don't know that there's much good work, but here's what I have. As always, I did additional work that isn't ready to show in ...

I had a personal digital painting from last year published in 3x3's Annual 18 this year. It won an award of merit, so no money or anything, but it's nice to win and it helps me toward tenure. Cli...

As I look back on my posts for the year, I see it has been a bit slim. I don't know that this worldwide plague we've been enduring has given me much extra time. I certainly haven't done as much f...

I finally have stuff up on ArtStation . For a long time now, I've been hearing that it's the place to be if you are serious about your artwork. So I have a few albums up, showing professional, ...

Back again. Sorry it's been a while. I'm not sure if my work shows it, but it seems like it's been a busy year. As usual, I try to do more new artwork. This year I've been keeping up with my usu...

There are many techniques that I teach in my classes and I've done so many times. The end result is a combination of tools and approaches that I've refined over the years. For some reason, my st...

It's that time again, the time to share a year's worth of work. I don't get to do as much as I might like to, with a full teaching schedule and all. I even had a class over the summer; it brough...

As you might guess, it's been a big year. The move across the country and starting up a new, long-term job have taken much of my time and attention. But I still have other work to do and I'm con...
