Here are a few samples of my art.  The first set of pen and ink sketches are ones I do live when people give me a challenge—a certain animal doing a certain thing.  The next set are illustrations from my first collection.  Then some paintings.  The portraiture was done live (except for my cousins, the boys, which were from a photo).  I have been doing portraits in pencil for most of my life–when I was 15 I owned a street corner portrait business in front of Piggly Wiggly’s in Caruthersville, MO.  I have been lucky to study under some very wonderful painters: Neil Graham and Susan Paleczny.  I’ve always wanted to do those pulp science fiction covers though…. so watch here for more soon.
