My Art

Here are a few samples of my art. I’m a portrait artist mostly, but you’ll find a lot of different things here.

These are a couple of my more serious portraits, and I use that term loosely.

My first big show was called Communion, included pictures of my fellow church members having coffee together and talking, which is another facet of communion, of living in community.

My church, First Baptist Church, Dayton, OH, is a welcoming and affirming church, meaning they welcome and affirm everyone, but especially, queer people.

Illustrating the life of my church, I tried to capture big group shots of us together in pen/ink/watercolor.

This next set are illustrations from my first collection of stories, The Angels of Our Better Beasts, and illustrate the fifteen stories/poems in the book.

When I sell someone my book at conferences, I often offer the buyers a drawing of their favorite animal doing something as an extra gift. It’s a cool challenge! We always end up with awesome, weird things. Here are a few of the ones other people have challenged me to do.
