I’m moving all my fiction writing and short stories to http://fictionspot.net This includes the Shadowblade Diary. By tomorrow night I will be adding the 3rd part of the series so be sure to check in. I will keep this blog for my visual art projects. And since I got a new camera I will be updating tomorrow with some new watercolor and acrylic paintings. The reason why I am waiting for tomorrow is I need some daylight. Thanks for reading.

I am at the heroes convention in Charlotte NC along with Charlie Harper, and having a great time so far. I am promoting my fiction series of Shadowblade http://rhyminggoat.com . I am amazed that I am here finally going through the motions of promoting my work. I am committed to keep my blog updated now. Sometime today I will try to get some pictures of the convention on the site.

Beyond the Great Red Desert of Zethon, which separated humans from the barbaric trolls and goblins, lay the lush green forests that contained the human kingdoms.  For many years these kingdoms had peace, but Kronen, the king of Silverhill, became corrupt and sought power and magic beyond his understanding.  Read more

The afternoon was somber, hazy and warm. I woke up to a cat licking my face, and had been asleep for several hours on the ground in an abandoned alleyway.  Using my magic earlier against the systemic affects of the crippleweed had an adverse affect making me weak and tired, so I decided to sleep.  Read more

I have been seeing some amazing abstract art lately and I am trying to duplicate some of the processes that I see.  What are some of the techniques that are used?  A piece that I really like is done by  Soniei .  I  like how that texture is done with the yellow and wonder how I would do something like that with acrylic on canvas.  Here is what I’ve been experimenting with example 1, example 2 .  The first example is only an under-painting, and the second needs some more detail.

I have come to really like certain styles of abstract art, more specifically the Asian style with trees and flowers.  I plan to do some more studies with this, and find painting these sort of things very relaxing and peaceful.  By Sunday night I will have a new painting to show and some useful information about acrylic painting and texture.

Sorry I have not posted in a while.  Got several projects going on right now.  Currently I’m working with Charlie Harper on a web comic called Hidden Dogma. It’s a comic about global politics.  I will also start a short story blog on this site within the next several days, and  start selling some of my artowrk.  I plan on posting one story and one painting a week.

This is a speed daemon painting.

This one is fun to paint.  Unlike digital painting there is no undo button with acrylic on paper.  Maybe I’ll do some more work on this one.  I have been working on a digital painting that is taking a lot of time.

Here is the face concept for the man sitting under the tree in the painting below.

Update.  Added some stuff.  Still working on it.

Started something new here.  It’s not done by a long shot buy here is what I have so far.

Character concept.  Enjoy.

Here is an image I did about a year ago.  Did some touching up, and added some textures.

Here is an update.  I’ll work on this more today.  Having some symmetry issues.

Here is what I have been working on.  Still needs a few more hours of work, but I think I’m making good progress.  I think I’ll make the deadline with this one Tuesday.
