Engagement Sol Ring

I'm engaged! This evening I'm proud to announce I've finally proposed to my wonderful girlfriend of five years. These past few months have been great. Business is running smoothly and I'm soon to be married. Needless to say, I'm counting my blessings.

This weekend I'm finishing up an order of commissions so I can start stocking up for SCG events at the end of May. Here's a Palinchron I finished up today:

Vacation!

Tomorrow I'm heading on vacation in Atlantic City for a few days. I'll still be doing some painting, but blog posts will have to wait until I return. Here's something before I go!


Something I hope I don't roll in the casinos. Get it? Snake Eyes!

Newly finished this afternoon:


I'll be pod casting this evening with a few of the members of Untapped. I expect we'll be discussing a lot of topics including altering. Be sure to listen in when the episode airs.

Cryptic Commander

My very last post in February included this alter. Recently I took on a order to paint the ol' Commander once again. I love the reference, so I thought I'd give it another whirl.

What's Better Than One Sword of Feast and Famine?

Two Sword of Feast and Famine, of course!


Plays nicely with this one:


The latter being the extension prize one lucky listener of the Untapped podcast won several weeks ago. If you're not currently following these guys, you should be.

Not Everything Is Black and White

Lately I've been working on a large set of commissions. When working on a set I'll periodically look over the finished work to check that my quality has been maintained over all of the works. Recently I keep coming back to this one to set a baseline. I love doing black and white alters:


Because I like to work cleanly, I find the graphic nature of black and white really helps to accentuate what I'm looking for in a finished piece. Here's an older one that was just as fun to work on:


As a side note, this week SCG offered me a table for any of there Open events this year. I'll be at Louisville and Indy for sure, and am looking to book further events as well. While Kentucky is about six weeks away, I'm super excited to get working on some stock for that weekend. Hope to see you there!

Slave to the Grind

SCG Atlanta was a blast. I finally got a little coverage and today I found out I'll be able to attend SCG Louisville May 21-22 and Indy June 3-5. StarCity is setting me up with a table so I can be there on official capacity. Which means I need to stock up...

...after I get through this stack of commissions. Here's some of today's work (Brainiac and Street Fighter's Cammy):
