Book cover - The Truth about Unicorns

I've been going through some older jobs from the summer and I have a lot of things I'd like to show!

The premise of the cover is a mysterious force, one of the more stranger female characters, shrouds the forest in which the story takes place in.
The medium I used was a mix of ink, watercolor and digital. The style suggested is a simple, flat and Muchas-esh feel.

Fan Expo Clean and update one

I was one of many participants at this year FanExpo but haven't a chance to post any of my new images. I'm a big fan of Vertigo's/Neil Gaiman's Sandman series, especially one of the Endless characters, Death. The series was introduced to me from my friend Kim. This particular print I did was on a t-shirt that ended up selling out at the con. I used ink and a little bit of digital touch up. Read more...
