Illustrations
Pen and Inks

Once upon a time I dabbled in pen and inks.  I moved to digital inks for the Soul Chaser Betty graphic Novel, and left the traditional stuff behind.  But recently I decided to get back into it and began practicing with new pens (mostly Microns now) in the hopes of getting my chops back up and learning something new.  Taking what I (re) learned, I began to experiment with more traditional techniques. 

Below are the results of that work in early 2009.


Older Pen and Inks
Tolkien's books changed many a young fantasy lovers life, and mine was no different.   Many years ago I decided to try my hand at pen and ink, and although I never came even a hairs breath close to the modern masters like Wrightson, Frazetta, Vess or Gianni - I had a good time.

These inks are from 1995.
