So, obviously, I have an undying love of Star Trek. But here’s the thing: I like Star Wars *too*. Isn’t that pretty wild? Anyway, in anticipation of December’s newest Star Wars film (Rise of Skywalker), I decided to create this piece featuring Rey. I changed up my usual aspect ratio a bit, and found that it added a nice bit of drama to the piece. I also changed up my colors a little, to make it more dynamic. I really […]

The 12th Doctor got off to something of a rocky start. But once Capaldi settled into his role, he was amazing. I don’t know that I can say 12 is my favorite Doctor… but if you backed me into a corner, Capaldi is probably the name I’d choose.

There’s probably a Romulan base on that planet. Or not. You never […]

I’m super excited about this piece, which I plan to be the start of a series of paintings depicting science fiction and fantasy in the suburbs. I know, the suburbs seem kind of… mundane. But that’s what I like about the idea: merging the fantastic with the mundane. It’s also kind of a new style of piece for me–but that’s also what makes it a bit exciting. Okay, back to the piece: velociraptors. Every time I see a flock […]
