M:TG Grand Prix - San Diego
San Diego, CA
November 12th - 13th

11/21/11 -- Thanks to everyone who came to the Magic: The Gathering Grand Prix - San Diego Event. I had a lot of fun with the signing and the sketches this time around. And check out these playmats that were given away at the end of Saturday and Sunday!

8/11/11 -- I'll be signing at the Etna Comics event in Catania, Italy (Sicily) this 9th-11th of September. I'll be bringing artwork, prints, artist proof whiteback cards, and me poor right hand for signing!

7/5/11 -- I'll have some creepty half-animal, half-creature artwork that I've had on the shelf to come out to say howdy for this Saturday's Art Attack in Georgetown. No reception, but come across the street to Krab Jab Studio if you'd like to say hi! A few Magic� pieces can be seen there. Saturday, July 9th for Art Attack, runs all month long.

7/1/11 -- Guess what? I'll be hitting the PAX Expo 2011 here in Seattle on August 26th- 28th as well! Card Kingdom will be sponsoring Anson Maddocks and me, just like last year. Please see their website for additional details when the event gets closer.

6/30/11 -- I'll also be going to the Magic: The Gathering� Japan Nationals in Osaka on July 16th - 18th. The art from the most powerful card creature yet invented, the "Emrakul:The Aeons Torn" will be given away as a grand prize at the event. I'll be bringing lots of whiteback cards, prints, and original art to show at the event. If you're nearby, please attend!

6/30/11 -- I'll be heading to San Diego for this November's Magic: The Gathering� Grand Prix! There will be a whole host of other Magic artists, so I think it will be a worthwhile event if your'e looking to get oodles of your cards signed and playmats sketched on! (November 12th-13th)

6/19/11 -- I wanted to clarify that if you were interested in purchasing a print from the store but did not want to use the PayPal™ service directly, you can still make a purchase using a debit or credit card as a "guest" to their site. Most cards accepted, at a 2.9% + $0.30 transaction fee per order (that'd be a $3.20 charge for a $100 transaction, for example).

6/18/11 -- I've cleared off 2009-2010 news from here and put it into a new archive page.

6/13/11 -- Most of the work I've done over the years is technically for sale, but my pricing and availability information has been spotty at best. In order to let people know what's available (at least the Magic artwork), I've put together a rough .html sheet that lists the artwork I've done since 1992 in roughly chronological order. Set information, status of artwork, and prices are listed. Many are not priced, but contact me if you'd like me to give you a quote.

6/08/11 -- Many years ago, not long after the first set for Magic: The Gathering was released, I consigned many of those first pieces to a gallery in Kirkland, Washington called WIZARDS GALLERY, owned by MARC RIECK. Four of the pieces were sold legal and fine, but the gallery abruptly closed and the artwork was not returned, despite the contract we'd signed. If you've seen or heard of any of these artworks being sold or re-sold, or know the whereabouts of Mr. Rieck, please contact me.

Chaos Orb, Fireball, Helm of Chatzuk, Jayemdae Tome, Lord of the Pit, Nevinyrral's Disk, Sol Ring (I), Time Vault, Timetwister, Wall of Wood, Winter Orb, Wooden Sphere.

6/07/11 -- It hasn't shown up officially at the Wizards site or at the organizer's site yet, but I wanted to let people know that I won't be able to come to the Magic: The Gathering Grand Prix Pittsburgh this year due to a scheduling conflict. I should've been more attentive to the problem earlier, so I apologize profusely to all involved or travelling to the event this year. I'll try not to let it happen again!

6/02/11 -- A bunch of us at Krab Jab Studio will be having a group show Saturday the 11th of June to show off the results of our Thursday night costume drawing sessions. It's coinciding with the Georgetown Carnival (formerly Artopia) and Art Attack, and we'll be here all day from noon to 9pm. I'll have two pastel portraits in the show and others nearby. C'mon down!

5/11/11 -- Until I can make a better page dedicated to role-playing game illustrations, I've updated a link on one of my art pages that shows a good number of my Star Wars illustrations done for Wizards of the Coast before they gave up the license. Wookieepedia, the Star Wars wiki has a page with many of them collected together.

4/23/11 -- There are a whole bunch of direct links to some concept art images that were imbedded in Wizards of the Coast articles, making them easier to see since a few were uncredited. The new links for Rise of the Eldrazi™ and Zendikar™ are marked with asterisks (*).

Update: I've given the Concept Art section a front page that can make navigation a little easier, even if it's a bit rough for now. There's also a whole bunch of concept bits pulled together from around my site and the web. Hopefully it will be more thorough later.

4/22/11 -- I've updated the Mirrodin Besieged™ and New Phyrexia™ preview pages! I've added a few more links to some Rise of the Eldrazi™ concept art as well.

4/16/11 -- Julie Baroh, Kyle Abernethy, Jethaniel Peterka, and myself will be showing some work at the Norwescon 34 art show under our moniker of the Seattle Illustrator's Collective. We'll be hanging the show this upcoming Thursday, staying for the reception and taking it back down on Sunday. I'll have a Dungeons & Dragons and five Magic: The Gathering illustrations to show there. Please stop by and take a look if you're going to be in attendance!

4/14/11 -- I'll be attending the Magic: The Gathering� Nationals Qualifier in Seattle this Saturday (April 16) at the Seattle Center through Cascade Games. I'll be there with fellow artist and buddy Anson Maddocks, to sign cards, show artwork, and bring prints and cards to sell. It should be a great event, so please come by!

4/14/11 -- My mailing address is changing yet again! Fortunately, we'll be moving over 30 feet to the north, so the Krab Jab Studio will only be changing it's last number. Instead of #250, it will now be #246.

3/2/11 -- This weekend, I will be attending the Emerald City ComiCon. The Northwest College of Art where I teach illustration, will be sponsoring me. I'll be showing a sample number of my artworks, having prints available, artist-proof cards (whitebacks), and to sign any Magic: The Gathering� cards you'd like to put in front of me. I'll also be answering questions about the illustration biz, making concept art for games, the school itself (though I'll defer to the expert school reps of course) and maybe a drawing demo or two if it's practical. I'll be there:

(I may duck out for breaks, lunch, and of course to see a little of this fabulous con!) The Emerald City ComiCon includes comic book writers and artists, publishers, dealers, gamers, exhibitors, costumers, and lots more! Get over there, whaddya waiting for?

2/23/11 -- In April I'm heading to London for the big royal wedding! Okay, not really, but I'll be in town that weekend for Magic:The Gathering's Grand Prix London event along with artist Daren Bader. The usual things like prints and artist proofs will be available, so please stop on by if the future King and Queen's wedding isn't sufficient reason to get to London.

2/2/11 -- A new selection of artwork from artist Anson Maddocks will be shown at Krab Jab Studio for Georgetown's Art Attack next Saturday the week after next. You may remember his groundbreaking work done for many of Magic: The Gathering's earlier sets. His newer work is even more phenomenal. Please stop by!

Julie and I will be attending the closing reception to our show at Calamity Jane's this Friday, February 4th from 6-9pm. It will be fully catered by the fine folks at the restaurant, so it will undoubtedly be some really great food. Come on down if you're nearby!

1/2/11 -- Happy New Year! To kick off the year right, Julie Baroh and I are hanging up a bunch of our fantasy illustrations and paintings at Calamity Jane's here in Georgetown for the whole month of January. A good time to check it out is this Saturday the 8th for the Georgetown Art Attack (6-9pm). The address is not far from our Krab Jab Studio location:

A Reminder -- Many links on the website became broken when Wizard's™ updated their own site. I'm doing my best to repair old links to articles and such, but in the meantime, if you come across an address that looks like this:

Then most articles will display the older info with the new site formatting. Sometimes some links just don't work properly, and are probably gone forever, but it's a solution that should work in the majority of cases.
