<-- Personal smiley...
If you're looking for any of the old pictures that used to be here, you can always find it at my personal website, Shadowscapes. That site contains a pretty complete archive of everything I have done since 1997.
And if you want a smaller selection of my latest work (which does include stuff I've done professionally), you can find that at my Epilogue gallery or at http://www.shadowscapes.com.
A few other notes:
- No requests for free character drawings, please.
- Prints are available here.
- Yes, you're welcome to use my art on your non-profit webpages and for personal purposes, as long as you follow the guidelines I have in this FAQ page.
That stuff aside, a bit about me:
As of late 2001, I have been a professional illustrator. Prior to that I was a programmer doing art into the twilight hours. At any rate, I currently live in California. Most of my color work is done in watercolor, with occasional digital pieces. I'm also rather fond of black and white pencil work, though I don't have much of that in this gallery. As far as formal training goes, I got a BA in Fine Art at UC Berkeley in 1998. Fantasy art is what I have been always drawn to, and my major influences have been Michael Whelan, Dave McKean, diTerlizzi, Daniel Merriam, Surrealists, Pre-Raphaelites, and whatever else catches my fancy. More recently, most of my inspiration is coming from the mythology and legends of various cultures. (You may have noticed the profusion of foxes in my art. Don't ask. I have no clue where they came from. They're infesting my canvases through no fault of mine!) Occasionally I get ideas from my own stories, but those often draw from mythological sources as well.
And now, some fellow Elfwoodites you might like to visit (I regularly go and drool over their art): <table width="500" border="0"> <tbody><tr><td> </td> <td align="left">* Anneth Lagamo * Sophie Klesen * Elisabeth Mitchell * Ursula Vernon * Alfred Jones * Igino Gordiano * William Li * Janet Chui * Christiaan A.
