The summoning is complete.
A servant of the demon Bael has been summoned. Best of luck with your new pet.One of the easy ways to work out problems on a painting is to take a photo of it in progress and work on it digitally until the problem is solved. it can be very difficult to fix it in the paint if you're not really su...
Devil Progress
I've already had an opportunity to jump right into this piece. I'm just setting the stage right now. Some artists can work almost like a printer. My brain doesn't work that way so this is my process. Some liken these process differences to architects and gardeners. I'm a gardener, I ...

White Shaman Mask
I was able to spend some quality time with the last of the three paintings. I think I achieved the creepiness I was looking for. We had a bit of a scare here as my mother-in-law had been in, thankfully, only a fender bender accident. Just to be sure I packed up all my paints and the puppy and headed...
Green Shaman Mask
I've completed the second of the three masks. This is acrylic on paper on panel. I've been so happy with how the acrylics have been working for me. It has been a very long time since I've worked with them. I used to paint with acrylics for years as a mural painter. I've painted the h...

Black Shaman Mask
This is my week to try and get a million things done. And that includes artwork for the previous Mask Wave. There are so many ways to work on an illustration. For this one I choose to mount a print of my drawing and work in acrylics. I have't worked in acrylics for a long time and for some reaso...

Drawings - Green and Black Mask
Here are the drawings for the Green Mask and Black Mask. For the green, I'm picturing the top half patina copped with Boston ferns for the beard. The metalwork is totally inspired by one of the most beautiful facades here in Chicago designed by Louis Sullivan for the Carson Pirie Scott Building ...
Drawing - White Mask
I'll be working on the drawings for the masks over the next few days. Here is the White Mask. As I work I sometimes changes things up from the original concept. As I was working I felt that the veil just wasn't working for me. I still wanted a similar shape to work with so I just opted for a...
Mask Tokens (concepts)
Green and Black seemed to be tied and we had one more vote for White after which would then have been a 3 way ties. And here we are with three concepts above. White, Green, and Black. I'll work on these a little smaller like I did the Mana tokens and I should be able to get all three completed w...
