(first image)"Photon Fury" ©1997 Acrylic on illustration board 18"x24". I created for Photon Fury for an anthology of "Nose Art" created by alien cultures — after the WWII practice of painting pin up girls on the sides of bombers, and other fighting planes. The book never came to fruition, as far as I know, but I've sold many prints of this piece and received quite a few awards for it at science fiction conventions. Rodney Smith purchased the original recently, however the last limited edition print will be available on the print page (coming soon). The rest have sold at various conventions over the years.

(next three images) I am currently working on a sculpture of the Klingon Valkyrie pinup character. The sculpture is my self-assigned master project — started under the direction and tutelage of Rebeccah Shummacher Sweeney — an amazing teacher and friend who taught a constructive anatomy approach to sculpting. She also taught me how to make simple but effective armatures and a million other inventive and helpful techniques.
