Holy cow, it's been a long time since I posted anything. Just goes to show how busy I've been in the studio.

One of the projects keeping me cranking was a book project for Penguin about ancient Pompeii. Currently, I'm working on a book about Bruce Lee for them.

Another project I've been working at is this painting for the Day of the Dead. It's oil on panel, about 24x28". It was actually inspired by the frame which was given to me by a friend. I knew it needed a painting that was dark and dramatic. Here are some stages and details:

Made some progress on my Day of the Dead painting. This was very stressful because the face is only about 4" high, causing me to paint with a round brush a lot, which I hate.  The rest of the figure should be a lot more fun to paint.
