Concept - driftwood horse. This started as a study, the challenge being to take different inspirations and mash them together in a fantasy image. As soon as a I saw the base image of the horse galloping in the surf, I thought it reminded me of driftwood and decided to run with it.

Painted in Procreate, 2020-21.

Creature concept: Bynx. This chimera is part cat, part horse, part bird -- inspired by a horse, ostrich and cat. I made sure to study how a kind of creature like this would move. You can often find it lounging in red-rock outcrops or napping in the shade of scrubby desert brush.

3D interior design concept - Sir Federick’s study, 18th-century-inspired fantasy world, the kingdom of Dorovia, “An Unorthodox Rule.” Made with Planner 5D.

Edmund Grimlock is a wartime orphan who suffered horrific wounds as a child, leaving him with a scar across his forehead and a broken nose that never healed properly -- it is upturned, earning him the nickname "pig" as a boy. He is a character in my story, "An Unorthodox Rule."

George Washington and Lafayette at Valley Forge, 2021, painted in Procreate.

Top row, from left: Sweets for a royal party; a diplomat’s dinner. Second row, from left: Foraged snacks; royal breakfast; harvest festival treats. Bottom row, from left: Journeyman’s victuals; lunch at the manor kitchen.

A note about his nose: It was broken when he was a young child (at the same time he received a gash across his forehead that left that furrow of a scar) and healed upturned. He has had to bear the insult of being called “pig” ever since.

I belong to an art group led by QuelFabulous and every Monday we get together to do about an hour-long horse study. Sometimes, I continue to work on the pieces after the fact.
