If you’ve been wondering why I haven’t been posting much - this little guy is the reason behind that. He is awesome! But of course so is my time commitment to him. #littleguy #baby #babyboy #babies #babyphotography

And German Shepard Dog for the win. Not sure Rumor ever heard of schutzhund training. Back when I shot on a Nikon F3 with a motor drive. Gunning through roles. #germansheperddog #germanshepherd #schutzhund #westminsterdogshow #rumor #film #blackandwhitephotography #dogphotography #nikon #nikonf3

More of a lo-tech version of the last one. Used a Diana plastic camera on this one. The structure was the only digital addition. #digitalillustration #plasticcamera #diana #dianacamera #film #blackandwhitephotography #storytelling

Unearthed this one going through some old files. I always loved creating images from scratch. Outpost 09. It was part of a series of pictures that would have accompanied a story I wrote about a boy dealing with a horrible loss and how fear and anger had manifested in his reality. This was Viking and he was meant to be in charge of the fear factory. #digitalillustration #personalproject #skull #storytelling #crow

DEEP DIVE FIVE’s adventure continues… After their VERY close encounter with a whale and a giant squid, the DEEP DIVE FIVE team, V and Sam, are ordered to stay land-side and await the repair of their submersible when they are recruited to assist in a desperate salvage-turned-rescue operation. The brave duo, unable to resist the pleas for their help, once again disobey the Chief’s orders to “lay low” and dive once more into the depths, only to discover that there is more to the operation than they were led to believe… SUMMER 2017 #webcomic #comicbooks #comic #comicart #comicartist #indiecomics #selfpublished #laboroflove #deepdivefive #storytelling #teaser

Chipping away. It's taken a couple of days but I'm starting to figure out my #cintiq set up. It's almost too good. I find myself over perfecting as opposed to inking. There is no Undo with an ink pen. #wip #indiecomics #comicbooks #webcomic #deepdivefive #selfpublished #storytelling #comicart

Little work in progress and my new toy (new to me anyway). Getting used to my #cintiq Putting together a teaser image for the next story. Had some real gut checks on the story and realized it needed a large portion redirected and therefore rewritten. Has definitely slowed things down. But when you looked at the major plot points it was almost the same story I just told. Guess it was better I realized it now. Sheesh. #wip #indiecomics #comicbooks #webcomic #deepdivefive #selfpublished #storytelling #comicart
