Last week was my birthday. Unlike last year, I decided not to do anything major. Instead, my celebrations were more low key. Before going to dinner, I took in an exhibit of artist Pamela Colman Smith. Not much is known about her, except for one fact. She is the artist behind the most famous tarot…
Last night I attended a lecture at The Rubin Museum of Art. Damien Echols was speaking. You might have heard of him. Echols, along with two others were known as The West Memphis Three. The West Memphis Three were wrongly convicted and imprisoned up to 18 years for a murder they did not commit. In addition…
It’s too cold in NYC today. As of this blog post, the current temperature is 25 degrees. A good day to stay in and work on a Valentine Day’s sketch. Yes, I know. I had promised to post new Valentine’s artwork everyday until Feb. 14th. Of course, life took over and this was not possible.…
Here’s my annual holiday illustration. Happy holidays everyone.
Here’s my latest illustration. Continuing with the Asatru influence. In the background of this piece, you can also see the Yggdrasil tree.

Started sketching again. Mixing tarot card imagery and Christian Gnosticism, this was the result. Gnostic three of swords.
Here’s something I drew late last night: “Well-being I won and wisdom too. I grew and took joy in my growth: From a word to a word, I was let to a word, From a deed to another deed.” – Anonymous, The Poetic Edda

What I did manage to do was some painting. Here’s one of the better pieces, created mid-July 2012. Acrylic and glitter. Decided to…
