Hi. I am a self-taught maker of 'somewhat sketchy' artwork. Sometimes I make it just for me, and sometimes I make it specifically for people. Here's where you can see what I do. If you like it and you want some artwork for you, just ask...

Illustrations for Exquisite Terror - "Uncle Bob"
Pencil
September 2015
One last one for Exquisite Terror; this time, the inimitable horror writer "Uncle Bob" Martin. He may be much loved in the horror community, but he sure isn't one for selfies, and finding a reasonable quality picture of him from which I could work proved nearly impossible. We originally went with a different image in which over half his face was black shadow, but it was almost impossible to capture that well in pencil in a way which translated well in scans, so this pose (including its NSFW tshirt slogan) was used instead. It taxed me viciously throughout the process and led to some astounding procrastination, but now it's completed I'm happy enough with it, by and large.
