Tales of the Wild

This is a commissioned piece I have completed for a delightful company in Vancouver.

Tales of the Wild

A company I have worked with in the past.

Their store is about as wonderful and charming as the family behind it. 

After completing the above piece they asked me to create something for their Woodsman natural product line and I happily agreed.

The tools I used.

The start.

Reworked the face

really got in there

hello Mr. Owl

Caught in the act

And with a little help this bearded stud was born in August.

Hello Sailor!

Hey folks it has been a while! I have finished another bearded gent to add to my collection!

It will be a hectic month this September and here is where you can meet me and other amazing talents this month.

Newest illustration to the beard collection “Sailors Beard”

Original illustration by April Alayne. 

This sexy sailor was created with a  .5 and . 7 mechanical pencil on recycled bristol. He took about 2 and a half days to complete. Original for sale. Contact me for serious inquiries. 

Prints are available on Etsy and you can follow progress on my Facebook or Instagram 

I just got back for Wildwood NJ from the Beach Bash Villain Arts puts on and it was a great show! 

You can find me at these shows coming up in September!

Here is a sneak peek of a commissioned piece for a Botanical company in Vancouver called Tales of the Wild

 

Dreamers
