Wolf Countess – another one of my favourites! Part of my “Wolves” series, this features an aristocratic girl (possibly a werewolf? a lycan? a vampire?) walking down the crumbling staircase of her ancestral home with her wolf protector. I love wolves! My own original acrylic painting.

“Queen of Bees” – one of my special debut paintings for FaerieCon 2012. The original itself sold at the show but I have prints & posters available! There is a slightly sinister feel to this Rococo style portrait of a beautiful queen and her bees. There are a lot of little bee details in here as well as historical portraiture references – she is wearing a replica of a Minoan bee pendant from ancient Crete, Napoleon's “Bee with Laurels” imagery, a lot of fun stuff packed in here. I also love the bees themselves – you can even see some honeycombs peeking out from underneath her skirts! This is my own original acrylic painting.

Kali! There is a lot of colour squeezed into this one! I've long been fascinated with Hindu artwork – devotional images of the beautiful gods and goddesses with their mysterious blue skin used to intrigue me as a child. Kali – possibly my favourite – an incarnation of the mother goddess – but a VERY powerful force to be reckoned with! She's often depicted with severed heads, wreaking her vengence on those who cross her…. I've taken a more subtle approach and have given her a garland of skulls. I've portrayed her in the traditional Daksinakali dancing pose, and this REALLY is a beautiful painting. REMEMBER – you can make this shirt for men/women/children/babies or make it long sleeved or a Tshirt or a tanktop – and even change the colour! All you need to do is click the “Select a Different Shirt Style” link by the sizing options – customize it just how you like it! It does look best either as shown, or in the dark solid colours, or in black, or in white. All shirts are available up to adults size 6X – just scroll through the Shirt Style options for your style choices in extended sizes!

The first in my new series of paintings called “Les Vampires” (which is French for The Vampires) – a new line of paintings that feature vampire beauties inspired by French rococo and baroque themes and aesthetics. These will also be part of my upcoming Vampire tarot/oracle deck I've been commissioned to work on, being published next year. This first painting is called “Les Vampires: Lanterne-Citrouille” (which means “pumpkin lantern”) she is simply lovely! And with the pumpkin of course there are subtle Halloween-ish overtones (added to with the inclusion of my black cat Azrael!). There are also some creepy details in the rococo sofa the two sit upon. I went with a lighter more rococo palette on this piece rather than the bold/jewel tones I normally would put on a vampire/halloween painting, and I think I rather like how it turned out. My own original acrylic painting.

A Beautiful Rat – I've often found rats to be beautiful, so I thought I'd paint this albino pet rat and his fairy friend. My own original acrylic painting.
“Heart of Nails”! Some years I like to portray a darker, more cynical Valentine's Day in my paintings…. could be more accurate for some! This sultry little thing has feather black raven angel wings and a bright red Valentine's heart….. with a big old nail stabbed through it! My own original acrylic painting.
Anglerfish Submarine – one of my favourites I've painted to date (Matt's too). Some of you may have noticed my fascination with deep-sea abyssal sea creatures, as well as steampunk theming, and this painting combines them both. A beautiful violet eyed girl sits within the interior of an elaborate submarine which looks all the world like a clockwork anglerfish (lanternfish). Okay, it's kind of an odd painting, but there is something very striking and magical about it – kinda Jules Verne. Who doesn't love a steampunk submarine shaped like a giant fish? My own original acrylic painting. ******PLEASE NOTE – FEEL FREE TO CHANGE SIZES, PAPER TYPE, ADD A FRAME, MATTING, OR LEAVE IT AS A PLAIN PRINT!******

Dragonling Garden II” is the title – the second of what will be a series of three paintings featuring night gardens, faery girls & their dragonling companions. This was a painting commissioned by the Bradford Exchange for my upcoming series of collector's plates. This is a BEAUTIFUL piece – a quiet moment with a fairy girl and her little purple dragon pet – sitting in a moonlit garden with twilight flowers blooming about her. The colours on this are GORGEOUS! I love it!! My own original acrylic painting.

Loup-Garou : Noir – the first in my new Loup-Garou series (French/Rococo themed werewolf paintings!). A gothic Rococo style portrait of a beautiful court lady (perhaps a vampire?) and her magnificent black wolf companion (a loup-garou/werewolf for sure!). This is my own original acrylic painting.
"Microcosm: Triceratops" is the second painting in my Microcosms series – delving into the theme of Alchemical microcosms – miniature life and worlds created in glass jars or beakers. This installment features a beautiful girl painted in a very classical style, holding an aerated glass orb containing a tiny primeval world, complete with triceratops! As an amateur paleontologist I simply love dinosaurs and adore painting them when possible. This is one of my favourite paintings – it also features the iris, one of my favourite flowers. This painting debuted and sold at the Spectrum Fantastic Art Live 2012 show, prints & posters are now available! My own original acrylic painting.
