White Wolf

I couldn't sleep last night, so this quick painting is brought to you by insomnia!

It's based on a photo of one of the wolves at the Conservator's Center Inc. Back in March, the folks from CCI gave me a CD full of a million photos of their animals to paint. :]


Acrylic on wood. 

I Lick You

 "I Lick You."

I felt like taking a break from serious art-stuff, so this happened. An unrelated sequel to the picture I like you, I suppose!

Endurance

"Endurance"

Some African Wild Hunting Dogs I started painting months ago... They had been sitting around near-complete for a long time. A few days ago, I finally found a little spare time to finish 'em.

Acrylic, 13x15ish on wood.

Spring Cleaning/Art for Sale!

 

I have a few paintings sitting around in storage boxes, not doing too much besides taking up space. I suspect it’s time to let them go in the name of Spring Cleaning!

“FA United” – Woah, blast from the past. This piece is from 2007, and was the cover for FurAffinity’s very first convention. The page is 18x12” (the actual painted image is 17x11 on the page.) It’s painted in watercolour and acrylic on Arches 140lbs hot press watercolour paper, signed and stamped on the back. You can see some photos of the original on the auction!
Fun facts: Jack from Dog’s Days of Summer is hidden in the crowd, it features over 40 characters, and is an Ursa Major winner from 2007!

Check out the auction for “FA United” on eBay, here!

“Lemmikki Paws” – This is a piece I painted last year. It’s acrylic on wood, 13x9” in size, and signed on the back. Check out the photos of the original on the auction, below! (If you need more cute husky art in your life, this is the piece for you!)

Thanks for looking, and thanks again for bidding if you wish to! :]

FWA and Atlanta Bound!

This afternoon I will be boarding a plane bound for Furry Weekend Atlanta!

During the day, you'll be able to find me at my table in the dealer's room!

I will have Nordguard patches and stickers, prints of all shapes, sizes and prices, Scratches CDs, plus a few original sketches for sale at the table. (I will also have a some sketches and marker pieces that are curiously badge-sized, which have found themselves tucked into sleeves, ready to wear!)


They're each 3x4", done in marker, pencil, ink and a little bit of paint.

There will be copies of Nordguard: Across Thin Ice for sale, and Dog's Days of Summer!

I don't have anything in the FWA art show this year. However, the tiger I painted, "Persevere," will be in the charity auction! All proceeds from it's sale will benefit the animals at CCI!


A photo of the painting!


In other news, this Friday at FWA is the debut of Kyell Gold's newest novel, Green Fairy! (Here's an excerpt!)
Not to mention, it will also be the first print appearance of Rukis and AlectorFencer's graphic novel Red Lantern! Since both Rukis and Kyell will be in attendance as Guests of Honor, they would be really happy to sign everything, I am sure. ;]

(And don't fret--if you won't be at FWA, you can order Green Fairy, Red Lantern, Across Thin Ice and a ton of more stuff from Sofawolf Press' website! Fill all of your bookshelves with talking animals!)


Hope to see you there!

Drust on the Run

"Drust on the Run"

This is one of five illustrations I did earlier this year for the upcoming issue of HEAT Vol. 9!

Well--technically four are brand new images for the issue. It all started a couple of years ago when friend and author Tempo321 asked permission to write a story around the Pict wolf I illustrated a few years ago, titled "The Prisoner." I told him "Sure!" and he came back with a story about the cocky wolf Drust, who runs afoul, of--well, you'll have to read the story in HEAT this summer to find out!

HEAT is intended for mature readers. The story, "The Prisoner," is written by Tempo321, male/female in orientation, and has a total of five illustration by me, printed in grey scale. Boobs abound!

Check it out this summer in HEAT Vol. 9 from Sofawolf Press, making it's debut at AnthroCon and later available online!

Persevere

I painted this tiger for Furry Weekend Atlanta's charity auction to benefit the Conservator's Center in NC. They were kind enough to supply me with some photos, and this tiger is based off a few of them. If I have time this spring, I hope to paint another one of their many animals for the auction as well! :]

The original painting will be sold at FWA's charity auction this March! All proceeds of the auction benefit the Conservator's Center!

Acrylic on wood, 9.5x14"
