I painted this for my novel The Lasting Lands. This is a character named Tyrl, sort of like the White Rabbit of Wonderland… but not really.

I made this haunted house from old photographs using a technique I developed involving parallel lines of varying thickness.
This portrait of Philip K. Dick was based on my somewhat impromptu entry in El Paso’s 2014 Chalk the Block festival. The line is from VALIS.
Here’s the same PKD portrait stylized using a repeating pattern I designed.
Adelaide Batiste of The Lasting Lands.
Tyrl of The Lasting Lands as a rabbit.
Thrako of The Lasting Lands as a firecat.
This is a maze I designed for the cover of my unfinished, currently-on-hold novel Two-Headed Lamb.
Here’s a portrait of a creepy clown I drew as a teenager.
Here’s a little sketch of forest giant with a walking stick.
Here’s a yeti I made out of snow! I grew up in a part of Texas where it rarely snows even an inch. This was basically my first real snowman.

Here’s a salty portrait of the great Django Reinhardt.
