Sean Connery as Ramirez in Highlander

This illustration is of Juan Sanchez Villa-Lobos Ramirez, played brilliantly by Sean Connery in the 80's film Highlander. I used two or three different reference photos for this image and hope to finish it one day.

Adrian Paul as Duncan MacLeod in Highlander

Adrian Paul starred as the titular character on the hit 90's TV show Highlander: The Series. This illustration was a commission that I did for a friend that was in love with the show.

At the time I did this commission, I had never seen the show and it wasn't until after I finished this piece that I was curious about it. I think I ended up borrowing seasons 1-3 from a friend (this was before Netflix) and was "hooked" immediately.

As a thank you gift, my friend asked Adrian to autograph one of my prints for me. :)

Point Blank

This illustration was my first foray into the world of science fiction. I had a lot of fun designing it. I also loved the challenge of the foreshortened arm. It was tough but well worth the effort. Overall, I am happy with this experiment and may try more sci-fi themed pieces later on.

Shooting Star

This illustration was an assignment I had in my Design class that I took in 2011. I had to demonstrate asymmetrical balance, unity by continuation, and movement by multiple images. I love space and astronomy and took the assignment as an opportunity to illustrate a comet traversing the universe prior to meeting its end in an explosion.
