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

Goodnight Kiss

This illustration is the eighth image for my gothic vampire series, Red Death, drawn exclusively in black and white with a touch of red.  This image started out as an interior black & white for a vampire story titled My Angel of Darkness, however the reception of it went over so well that I adopted it into the Red Death series. 

This image was an interior illustration for the Spring 1997 edition of Dreams of Decadence, a national newsstand publication.

Wolverine and Jean Grey

During the mid to late '80's I discovered the X-Men comic books.  I fell in love with Wolverine and I loved the dynamic between him and Jean Grey.  

This was my redraw of the original artwork done by Silvestri & Austin for the X-Men comics.

Adonis the Greek God of Desire

Since I was a child, I have always read and collected books.  Lots of books.  One of my earliest fascinations in literature was Greek Mythology.  I love to read the ancient stories detailing the adventures and dilemmas of Zeus, Hear, Athena, Apollo, Dionysus, Hades, Aphrodite... on and on.

Of course that means that I love to illustrate them!  This is an early concept sketch of what the god of beauty and desire might look like.
