Last Pirate Painting of 2007!
I sneaked another painting in before the end of the year. This is another painting in the "Blood Volcano" series. This one is titled The Caribbean Saves the BlackHeart. Its a gouache painting on Rives BFK tan, and is 16 1/2" wide x 22" tall.

Pirate Sketch!
I've been working on a lot on the Blood Volcano series of pirate paintings, but I haven't quite finished any. I have been doing some sketches on my tablet PC on the train, though. This is a sketch for "head island", done in Alias Sketchbook. This locale may make a cameo somewhere in the Blood Volcano series.

Book Cover!
I'm doing illustrations for a children's book that my Grandfather wrote as a favor to my mom. Not my normal "cup of tea", but it gave me an excuse to break out the paints. I'm going for a old, somewhat classic "storybook" sort of feel. Kinda retro without looking like the 50's modernist stuff that I like so much. I have some black and white's to do for the interior still. The cover features "jumpy" the jumping horse and "taco" the flying dog (part of the reason his ear's are so big).
And since its been a while since I said so, fuck you, Microsoft.
