Waking Lion Series

Saw this lion at the Syracuse Zoo, NY. Inspired me to do a series focusing on its epic-ness.
These are graphite on Moleskin sketchbook paper.

Old Portrait

Painted this back in 2012. Wasn't happy with it then so I never published it.

Hand Studies

Destroy the Stained Glass Monster

My painting for Riverside Confession's latest album "Destroying the Stained Glass Monster." Released by New Vine Media. 

The concept is a David & Goliath scenario except goliath is colossal monster made completely out of stained glass. 

Figuring out how to paint stained glass was the first challenge. Then trying to paint it in a three dimensional form was an even bigger challenge. 

With this I hope I can catch the eye of bigger clients in NYC and climb up the very steep ladder of the illustration career. I don't know how many shares & likes that'll take, but please pass this along!

Thanks for dropping by!

Cortland Kitchen & Bath

This is a painting commission I did featuring the showroom of Cortland Kitchen & Bath Interiors. Dave Dovi, owner of CKBI, asked me to capture his company's vision of warm, welcoming, family-oriented home design. Inspired by Norman Rockwell's "Main Street Stockbridge at Christmas."
