AMOS showtime

I was recently asked to participate in the AMOS showtime project. AMOS is a German pop star who enlisted hundreds of international artists to design album covers for his new album "showtime". Check out the site, there are some great pieces. The albums will be traveling around Europe in a big ole art show.

Here is mine

review of Fables

I was just made aware of this review of "Fables" at the Austin Art Garage

Two new prints in the gift shop

Ahoy there Interweb folks! I just added two new giclee prints to my Etsy shop. The Hunting Sparrow (from "Quiet Little Stories" at Art Whino) and Bird Song (from "Fables" at Austin Art Garage. They are printed on heavy weight 100% cotton archival paper with archival inks so they don't kill trees and they will last! They are signed and numbered in a limited edition of 50.
