Working out the exterior for a cozy slow-burn office comic. It's about a indie publishing house. #cozyart #webcomic #art #cozycomics

Painted illustration of a brick building at golden hour. Through an open window, a woman sits at a desk inside a cozy office with books and a small plant. A quiet street stretches out to the left

light study from a pinterest reference. figuring out how to paint sunlit rooms and a lot of books without losing my mind.

Digital painting of a sunlit desk by a window. A leafy plant in a terracotta pot spills across the frame, its leaves glowing yellow-green where the light hits. Stacks of old books and two open books sit on a wooden desk, with a small framed picture and a teacup nearby. A bookshelf crowded with books fills the shadowy right side, and bright hazy greenery shows through the window.

Painting cozy rooms until I get faster. This editor's office took 4 hours — practice for a comic I'm making about a tiny indie publisher 📚 #art #digitalart #illustration #cozyart

A digital painting of a cluttered home office at night, lit warm gold by a floor lamp. A man in glasses and a plaid shirt sits at a desk on the left, working at two glowing blue computer monitors. Bookshelves packed with coloured spines line the wall above him. On the right, a red sofa sits beneath framed pictures, with a stack of papers on a side table. The style is loose, with sketchy black linework over painted colour.

Nested : "Greystone Dan's on vacation" Some pages from a slow-burn comic about a small publishing house… still early #comics #webcomic #indiecomics #nestedcomic

Comic page. A man arrives at a house in the rain, takes off his shoes in a hallway, and works at a desk with a mug beside him.

Comic page. He carries coffee and manuscript pages upstairs. An older woman at a desk says "Come in." He hands her the pages.

Comic page. She reads and gives him a note. He defends the author's choice. She says it's not like the Dan she knew from Greystone. He jokes that Greystone Dan is on vacation.

Comic page. She hands the marked-up chapter back and says he doesn't need her to tell him. He stands alone at a rainy window holding the pages.

Page 1 of a four-page scene from Nested, a graphic novel I'm making about a small literary press. Dan arrives at work. #webcomic

Four-panel comic page: a house in the rain with a Pebble Press sign, a man removing wet shoes in an entryway, hands at a laptop beside a mug reading Life Is A Beach, and the man standing at a filing cabinet."

Testing the water. Art account. Here's four paintings I did during my career in vfx/concept art.

Digital painting of an orbital mining station above a gas giant.The planet fills the lower right, banded in dusky pink and violet with a large storm visible near the terminator, and the black of space above it.

Dark forest scene: thatched huts on a mossy slope, warm firelight in their windows, and a small cloaked figure at the foot of the stone steps leading up to them.

Digital painting in the style of a colourised electron micrograph. A round cell covered in fine tangled filaments sits on a bed of larger smooth tube-like structures. Cream and gold against rust and brown, with a teal haze in the upper background.

A clathrin cage assembles at the cell membrane, the same mechanism many viruses hijack to get inside. Speculative microbiology render — done for Our Secret Universe: The Hidden Life of the Cell
