- Mid day doodle at @helioscopepdx.bsky.social Happy Birthday Frank Miller! #hellskitchen #daredevil #mattmurdock #marvelcomics
- An early influence for my aural and visual memory. Thank you #AltonKelley and #stanleymouse.
- Painting started. Unlike my last painting with Elric and Red Sonja, there is less pre-planning and more ‘throwing paint at it’ to see what she says. #acrylicpainting #wildlifeart #traditionalmedia #helioscopepdx #fantasyart #fantasticrealism
- Always love scanning thru old hard drives looking for something and come across bitchin’ artwork I forgot about…case in point- a birthday gift for my bro in law. 8x10 pen ink and brush. #ratrod #helioscopepdx #inkedart #traditionalmedia #cartoons #cars #hotrod #mopar #moparmuscle
- Next project starting now! Sketches for a private commission, ultimately in acrylic on board. Client gets to choose. Do you have a favorite? Let me know!! #workinprogress #warriorwomen #harpie #fantasticrealism #fantasyart #fantasticart #helioscopepdx
- Done. How much chaos can I cram into a painting? All of it. First image created at @helioscopepdx.bsky.social "The Encounter", 12"x18" acrylic on panel. #elricofmelnibone #AdventureAtSea #redsonja #octopus #tallships #helioscopepdx
- Some more images of the mural (“Persistence of Hope”). #fostertheaterpdx #muralart #acrylicpaint #artculture #goldleaf #performanceart #theaterarts
- Merry Christmas!! This past year I’ve mainly worked on one project: to design and implement the lobby to a newly renovated Foster Theater, a performance theater here in Portland, Oregon. 10’x20’ (main wall) acrylic paint and gold leaf. Ceiling: custom made chandelier and acrylic paint.

- I can’t tell if painting/illustrating good anatomy is harder or easier at life size. I’m definitely pulling my hair out at the third-ish hour into this arm. #illustration #artist #artwork #muralpainting #realism #fantasticrealism
- Close up. Monochrome mural crop. Moving right along! #mural #landscapeart #fantasticrealism #acrylicpaint

- Well into my next big project. This 10’x20’ish mural will be going into a renovated theater lobby in Southeast Portland. Acrylic on polytab sheets. #mural #muralpainting #acrylicpainting #artwork #bigart #hope
- Happy Birthday to Boris Vallejo. One of my earliest inspirations. His pencil work is still some of my fav art. My piece (‘The Return’ graphite) was created for a Vallejo tribute show. #borisvallejo #pencilart
