Blood Shades

This illustration is the seventh image for my gothic vampire series, Red Death, drawn exclusively in black and white with a touch of red.  It captures a beautiful female vampire out exploring the nightlife, hiding her bloodlust behind a pair of sunglasses. Be forewarned!

This image was an interior illustration in the 1996 gothic quarterly magazine, Evernight.

Brandon Lee as The Crow

This illustration is part of a portfolio set created to pay tribute to the memory of two extraordinary martial artists and action film stars.  Never again will the world know a father and son such as Bruce and Brandon Lee.  The legacy they leave behind will be remembered for all time. 

This portfolio, called "The Little Dragon", consists of six illustrations; three images of Bruce Lee (from The Green Hornet, Enter the Dragon, and a portrait) and three images of Brandon Lee (from The Crow, Rapid Fire, and a portrait).

Merfolk Couple

This sketch was my first design and concept for a merfolk couple.  I included elements which I think would exist such as gills in the throat and webbed hands to aid in swimming.  For the male I went with a defensive fish and for the female a more elegant one.  Next time I will try reversing these and see how it turns out.

Solar Angel

This illustration was part of a diptych set and was inspired by late Czech Art Nouveau painter Alfons Mucha.  I love creating  art that explores dichotomy and decided to illustrate a pair of sun and moon angels.  Solar angel is depicted in yellows and oranges with the rays of the sun.

Vampire the Masquerade: Ravnos Abomination

This illustration was done for a male Abomination character who is a hybrid werewolf/vampire.  He was a member of the Get of Fenris tribe, Garou sept before he was turned by the Ravnos clan in a crossover of White Wolf's RPGs, Vampire the Masquerade and Werewolf the Apocalypse.  The chess piece is a symbol of his age and rank in the vampire society.
