I'm already all over 2018 and these watercolor images are part of it. Much of my fine art is created in character and these are explorations for the character Lucien Karr. I'm essentially creating the fine art book extras for The Gospel of Wolves, Episode Two with these explorations. While writing a book is great and all, I want you to be able to see (and if you like, own) the art you read about. I'm breaking up Lucien's artistic development across stages and this piece is one of his earlier works. Doing this gives me story and background insights and ideas that I'd never have if I only jotted random thoughts down on paper about his height, weight and personality traits. This makes the world more vivid for me and by extension, for you as the reader. #artistlife #artistsofinstagram #altadena #altadenaartist #theabun #galaryarts #walldecor #walldecoration #transmedia #bookextras #lucienkarr #TGoW

Ever since I wrote The Gospel of Wolves, Episode One, I've been searching for the 'look of the artwork that was in the character Lucien Karr's art show. While trying to figure out that 'look', I've spent all that time questioning why exactly did I decide to make him a watercolor artist and not something easier for me to reproduce. I can now cease being irritated at my decision. This ain't it exactly, but I'm just about there.
