A bunch of people asked me for a print of this little nativity doodle I had posted via social media. Here’s a link to a high-res file you can download and print for free on your end:

“You Remind Me of the Babe” 16″ x 20″ acrylics on canvas. 2016.
In preparation for a group gallery show celebrating all the celebrities that had passed recently, David Bowie came immediately to mind. “Labyrinth” is such an iconic movie from my youth and when I think of Bowie, I think of the Goblin King. I watched the movie four times while painting this, pausing here and there to get a good look at certain characters.

“Remnants” 12″ x 16″ acrylics on wood. 2016.

“Driftwood” 6″ x 12″ acrylics on canvas. 2016.
I found this painting half-finished sitting in my closet gathering dust. I cleaned it up and spent a couple days finishing it up. Had I finished painting it awhile back it would have been a very different painting – no rain and the little guys in its head were going to be white. Not sure I’d have added the leaves on its back either. Funny how things evolve…
Prints available HERE
UPDATE: Big thanks to everyone who came out to see me. It was fun to have so many come by and tour the studio. I’ll definitely be doing this again next year. Thanks again, Justin.
Black Friday Studio Sale
November 25 – 26, 2016
10am-5pm Friday and Saturday
7110 184th Street SE, Snohomish, WA 98296
My studio will be open and available to visit Friday and Saturday 10am-5pm and I’ll have prints, books, toys and more for sale with some great deals and swag for those who can make it out.
Okay, okay – I know what you are thinking. I keep saying that we are launching soon and we keep postponing.
We are working and polishing this gem and will finally be launching this January 2017. Though that is still a bit off and the Kickstarter campaign will be running several months later than expected, the good news is that the later campaign won’t actually delay the production of the game. Had we launched earlier as we had hoped to, we still would have been working on getting the files ready for press well into February 2017. Anyways, thanks for your patience!

It’s been awhile since I ended my sketch-a-day but I’ve been wanting to start it up again and it is finally happening now! I may post some of my new Daily Sketch feed here in the blog, but the best way to follow them is to follow me on Instagram or Facebook. I’ll most likely be posting 3-5 sketches a week but I’ll try to keep it up.
