We Heart Wonder Woman Art Show and Coloring Page
Here's my contribution to the We Heart Wonder Woman art show that I coordinated for the CLAW Artist Guild and Destiny City Comics here in Tacoma, WA. The opening is this Saturday, the 3rd from 6-8pm.
Some of us CLAW artists have made prints to sell the whole month of June at Destiny City. For every print sold, we are donating $1 to the Tacoma/Pierce County YWCA! We will also have door prizes and asking attendees to vote on their favorite pieces.
You're Wonderful Print
I will be also handing out free coloring sheets! It's a Wonder Woman win-win!

Hope to see you there!
Go/No-Go
I've been working hard on my latest illustration that I'm producing as a limited edition 11" x 17" print that be available for purchase at the Olympia Comics Festival!
The idea came after I watched the movie Hidden Figures. They kept talking about the "go/no-go" point of getting a ship out of orbit so it could land on Earth. I like to listen to guided meditations and one of my favorite ones talks about the "go/no-go" point in your gut when you know exactly how you feel about a choice or a situation. The way forward on this illustration came together pretty quickly!
One Page Dungeon: A Dark Tower
The other day our GM ran us through a fun dungeon in the under dark. With his permission, I've tweaked and created my own version of this Dark Tower. For non-commercial use only.
This long forgotten watchtower looks over an abandoned battlefield--can be inserted into any under the dark adventure.

Town Map of Misthaven
I've been working on a lot of continent maps lately and wanted to mix things up with a town map. As usual, I hand drew everything first, scanned it, and then cleaned it up and colored it in on Photoshop.
I provide my maps free for non-commercial use. Feel free to use them in your games! I love to hear how people use my maps in their games!

A Night At The Museum
I had a great evening this week when I had a chance to explore some of the goodies at The Slater Museum of Natural History at the University of Puget Sound here in Tacoma. I know natural history museums can freak people out a little bit because they are basically full of dead things. But this is how scientists study and learn and by opening the doors to artists, we get a chance to draw something close up we'd otherwise never get to do.
When I walked through the door and saw this magpie, I knew I needed to draw it. I don't get to see many birds this close in person. The delicate feathers were fascinating to try and draw accurately. I mostly gave up on being accurate. Many of the other artists there were painting and drawing very realistic versions. I was impressed with their skill levels.
It was also fun to hang out for a couple of hours with like minded creative types: always a nourishing environment!
I can't get over how beautiful these quail feathers were. I'm looking forward to my next night at the museum!
