Upcoming Shows

Thought I'd just do a blog post with some preview images for the shows I'm involved with.
It's been a really, really busy month since I last updated.
 Finished/ touched up more pieces for the Nucleus show, a few pieces for my solo, around 10 new sketchbook pages, a t-shirt design and my first book cover job (in oils). Very excited and honoured to be exhibiting with some truly amazing artists who have been a huge inspirational force in my development. 


Thanks!

SKETCHBOOK SHOW: MEDECINE AGENCY, San Francisco CA

Collection of Selected Artwork from my sketchbook.

And here's the book cover I did, Oils (with small digital touch ups). It was for a lovecraftian themed horror novel set in the 1950's. Despite the workload I just couldn't say no to painting a Hastur possessed blues guitarist channelling filthy black insanity!
