update #8: gallery updates
Made some progress adding newer works to both the fine art and illustration galleries. Be sure to check it out. Also, if you’d like to see an enlarged version of any of the works in either gallery, you can roll over the and click image display, where it will open a full-size version on the screen. Still working out a few issues with that function, but feel free to investigate.

update #7: Shared summer, new toys
Right before the spring semester started, I proposed an idea to a friend of mine about doing a collaborative piece; two artists represented in one composition. He took the bait and after deciding on the surface, painting to-and-fro, late nights, and last-minute mailings, the piece was finished.

It was a great exercise for us both! From my end, I chose to go a more figurative route, because that’s a pretty easy/big bone to throw at another painter. I think Bill did a great job introducing several other mediums to the same space, in a somewhat homogeneous way. Me and Bill have plans for the future, the most immediate being a second attempt at collaboration on a bigger surface.

This summer, I’ll be looking for at least one or two more artists to collaborate with; the birthing of the series I’m calling Shared Space.

My grandpa John Van Loon, owner of many fine analog cameras, has passed this equipment onto me. This might be the tool that propels me back into photography, which I have been missing as of late. My grandpa was a career technical illustrator back in the day, and I’m hoping in a future update I can share some of his work with you. Some things run in the family.

Update #6: I’m not going to talk about the weather
I’m slowly gathering newer work to document and upload to the site. I just put two new pieces up in the “fine art” section of the portfolio. I think the paint is still drying on one of them.

I haven’t done much work with ink lately, but am going back to it for some recent work, which is in progress:

Other than that, about to get insanely busy as the semester comes to a close. Thanks for the response so far, keep checking back.
