Projects: I'm currently working on a project titled "Phinite" in the form of a comic. It has an initial sequential underwater theme (Mission Start, Depth 130 Meters, In Her Presence, The Stingmaid, Snapping Serpent, Phinite Vol. 1, and Eliana are images belonging to this universe). Check out my website for the latest in its development.
This is the last image in a triptych that was commissioned to honor a Swedish relative. One image was to honor his accomplishments as a skilled scull racer. The other two images were to explore what Olaf would do in alternate timelines. In "Olaf's Ostinato", I pictured Olaf pursuing the vocation of a DJ/producer, since the Scandinavian countries are well known for their contributions to the electronic music dance scene. Ostinato is an Italian term meaning "a short, constantly repeated rhythmic pattern".
