It's been a very long time since I posted here.  Been really busy with life and work, and FINALLY gonna be getting back on here more often!  Gotta keep updating this site as I use it for my samples as well as to get feedback! Well, I've produced two more books.  Got one project I'm in the running for, and yet another that I'm currently knee deep on.  I'm VERY happy with the way that my career is going right now. Nuff fer now.

Time for the Thanksgiving/Holiday special pricing on any commission from myself! $35 gets you a fully rendered pencil drawing of whatever character you so desire! Will add color for an additional $10! So for $45 you get a full color, fully rendered shot of YOUR favorite character! Great for gifts as well!!

It's been way too long since I've posted here.  I need to keep this page more up to date! Things are going very well as I'm working on a couple different projects.  First on my mind is the sequel to my first novel, Beyond Mortality, which is available on Amazon.com!  Second is a comic book expansion of the universe that I'm establishing in the novels.  It will be entitled Beyond Mortality:  Legacy as it takes place in the future from when the novels take place.  It's planned for two or three issues at most, and will be the comic book world that I play in when it comes to creator owned stuff. In other news, I entered the Face your Monster Ha

Thanks for the watch :)
Wow, over a year and a half...and I thought it took me awhile to start up my D-art page!

Well, Welcome back Martin, much goodness awaits!
Thanks Peter! I'm awed by the flood of feedback I'm getting already! Really happy you talked me into signing back up here.
