Exciting announcement: I HAVE AN ART BOOK!!
THE SOUTHWESTERN BELLOWS VOL. 1 is now available for pre-sale! What you see before you is a curious hybrid creature--an artist's book that is also a book of illustrated short stories. This is my first such volume, and I hope it will be the first of many. It is also a tome of esoteric Alien lore and an accounting of events that transpired in a faraway land: a human breakaway civilization called the Southwestern Bellows.
If you read carefully between the lines and follow the protocols hidden within the images and passages, you shall gain entrance to this world. You shall gain access to their magicks through six tales featuring old-timey pioneer peoples, cactus witches, western wizards, and their encounters with all manner of extraterrestrials.
This book was just so much to make. I am thrilled to finally hold it in my hands!
Never-before-seen images from my sketchbook.
THE SOUTHWESTERN BELLOWS VOL. 1 is available through SPIRE AND SCRIBE--a freshly formed fine art imprint by Josh Rowan and Travis Lawrence--the team behind the tattoo-focused BLACK DAGGER BOOKS. These guys did such a good job putting this wondrous creature together. I am thrilled, crying tears of joy, and my six-chambered alien heart beats with gratitude blood! Order this book today!
The Southwestern Bellows Vol. 1 contains nearly 60 paintings, tons of sketchbook drawings, and preliminary sketches. It took four years to produce. Holding this thing in my hands is pretty much a dream come true!

I love creating the sketches almost as much as I love making the paintings. It is fun for me to be able to show these preliminary steps in this format.

Here we see the fancy demon known as the Gorgowrath kicking down building and demanding elegantly tailored clothing.
Me in my human form with the new book. Yay!
