Will post a better image of it when it dies, which should be in a few years with all the paint on that canvas.

something close to virtue
Something I painted day before yesterday , the photo of it is kinda crap. Was trying something very different ... still not sure what to make of it. Trying to explore a bit more.

Wishing I could post/say more...
So I have been painting and drawing like crazy lately but most of what I have been working on is a bit top secret so I have not been able to post any of the images from the projects, hopefully soon.
Here is a bad image taken with my phone of a 11x14 oil on canvas I just did a day or two ago, this image is a small part of the ideas behind my creator own book being published by IDW this year. I will post a better image of it on comics pipeline when the oil paint dries.
Many things I wish I could talk about here... just not time yet.

silent hill past life trade cover
original painting is oil on 16x20 linen canvas.
Looks like this might be the cover for the trade paper back for Silent Hill : Past Life.
I had a lot of ideas about what I wanted to do with the cover for the trade, I kinda want to do a montage of a lot of the characters from the story, but every mock up I came up with seem to take away from the story line it self, they all seemed thin somehow, it just did not seem to mix or manifest the story well. So I kinda torn it all down and started over, this is what I ended up with.
The story is really about Jeb, and he never really got his due on a cover, so I set Jeb in front of a "Memento Mori", and to me it simplified and showed the story , it just locked in for me.
wiki : Memento mori is a Latin phrase translated as "Remember you must die". It names a genre of artistic creations that vary widely from one another, but which all share the same purpose: to remind people of their own mortality and the punishment they will receive if they transgress the rules of their religion.
The phrase has a tradition in art that dates back to antiquity.

Again I have not really been using this thing, and I think I will start up again, I have mainly been using my profile on DeviantArt, and I have a new thing going on over at comics pipeline, which should go live today. Will be post lots of exclusive sketches and pictures of paintings in process etc.
But I really miss my blog here... really want to start remembering to post things here again.... lets see if it sticks.
