  1. More great work! Your last post mentioned these paintings were for a book that (sadly) fell through. I would think they would make a great calendar! Twelve, big, classic, vertical paintings would truly appeal to fans. Whose ear could that bug be put into...?

  3. I've always liked this cover but never noticed how a lack of words would deepen its impact. Excellent work as always!

  4. In total agreement with Jason here - it's so much more powerful without text.
