Here are two sketchbook pages. This first one started out with Vortex #2 drawings but then I just let my mind wander:

Monster Show 5 Sketch

I came up with the name for my Domy Houston show on Wednesday. I was originally going to title it after one of my paintings, The Rise of the Miizzzards, but then I decided that I didn’t want to restrict my show to just paintings of Miizzzards.

Later, Glade convinced me to (rightly) truncate it further, and so I settled on Hypermorph. Heavy lifting done, I wrote up the statement and my bio, and selected my promo images.
