Between the world of men and transcendent divinity there exists art. Art is the will to truth made physically manifest. It is more real then Reality. It is a dialogue triumphant over Time. – Andre Malraux

Auguste Coronne Bust

In 2011, my Drawing I class went  to the Blanton Art Museum located at the University of Texas campus.  We spent a few hours in the sculpture gallery to do figure drawing.  I have a passion for ancient history, particularly Greek, Roman, and Egyptian history, so this was my favorite part of the field trip that day.

The Kiss

This illustration was another tribute to one of my early influences,  Patrick Nagel.  In the 80's you couldn't walk or shop anywhere without seeing his art.  I was mesmerized by the simplicity of his paintings and the beauty of his female models

One day I was curious as to what his style would lend to a vampire illustration and the results were amazing.  I ended up creating a lot of these and will share them all as they were incredibly fun to create.  This one is called "The Kiss".  Enjoy!
