So, I’ve been really swamped with a lot of NDA work recently and the personal work has gotten shifted to the back burner. However, I’d like to share a story here with you that I actually haven’t really told since I worked on it last summer. I was asked by a client to undertake the […]
I am very excited to release my latest digital painting, “Into the Feywild.” In developing the concept for this piece, I had a bit of a revelation. I realized that the beginning stage of thumbnails and concepts for a new painting is always the most difficult for me. Rarely do I have an idea that’s […]
I recently completed my latest digital painting, “Burn the Past”, and am excited to share with you the thought process that went into this piece 🙂 One of the first things I wanted to do at the outset of this piece was design an illustration that would first and foremost be super effective as a […]
The above snapshot is a closeup of my latest painting, “Burn the Past.” It’s really close. I am just sleeping on it at the moment so I can approach it with fresh eyes before I call it finished. One thing that I discovered while making this painting was the world of possibilities that open up […]
When I started this Patreon back in October, I decided to kick it off with a painting called “Survivor”. I painted this piece in just under a week, right before the Illuxcon convention.

My clean desk gets cluttered with reference books and coffee cups start to pile up on any available horizontal surface nearby. Sketches float […]
I’ve been digging into my first full scale GFB illustration, “Welcome to My Humble Abode.” This illustration is for a “Manor” card, in which a wealthy patron is welcoming a player to his country estate. The original sketch for “Manor”, above has the patron standing in front of his house as though about to welcome […]
I’ve been a bit quieter recently as I just sent off my proposal to Adobe for the Creative Residency Program last Thursday. It was an intense race to the finish, so this past weekend was a much needed break spent rejuvenating with friends and family 🙂 I recently shared a 3D model on social media […]
First of all, I’d like to establish a new acronym here: GFB (Go For Baroque). The board game’s full name has gotten to be somewhat laborious as I am now talking about it all the time 🙂 Now for the real news: I’m very excited to show you, my lovely patrons, the very first look […]
