I'm coming up for air after having spent a good chunk of this month working on a secret project.
Whenever I start to take Angelarium for granted, I get tempted to say 'yes' to side projects for other people. Every time I return to Angelarium, I'm reminded of how valuable my creative freedom...

Footsteps fall upon boundless hills
Stretching one by one across the landscape
Our journey
See not the darkened slopes that present themselves today
There is Light upon the farther side
guiding us onward
With the color added, the mood of this painting ends up being a lot more clear. It was probably possible to pull together the appearance of dusk in black and white, but I always get nervous about taking things too far in the value phase. When things get too tight too quickly, I start to feel rest...

I'm still kind of in shock from finally delivering on the bulk of my Kickstarter. We had a grueling two week push to get all the packages in the mail. Two friends from up north came down to help, and without them I'm not sure if I would have been able to get back to work on art any time this mont...

After a huge push, I've just wrapped up with the majority of the process to ship out my 5 year late Kickstarter. With the dust is settling, I'm realizing that I've got a significant overstock of the revised Book of Emanations.
I'm only offering these to Patreon and Kickstarter supporters fo...

Now that I've finally cleared out the vast majority of the stuff inside my little warehouse space, I'm able to start reintroducing stuff that's shipping from my new partners. Instead of stacking up inventory and shipping materials myself, I've arranged to have items shipped directly from my vendo...

The left hand of Ein Soph. The harsh Judge and curator of action.
As the forceful left hand, Gevurah must temper the dreams of existence with harsh protocol. Ever steadying the wings of migrant hearts to ensure the journey.

This is more of what I was hoping to get out of this piece. Mixing large amounts of grey with bolder hits of color matches my hopes for this painting much better than the more colorful direction it started off with. Going more colorful or more monochrome is never a given. Different paintings all ...

Looking at references for this piece, I saw a lot of this purple lightning. It matched with the original color palette of Gevurah, but as I started to try to pull this piece together I found that I wasn't feeling satisfied with the painting as a whole. Considering that these are all personal pain...

I got started on this one late in the month because I've been busy working on shipping my very late artbooks. If you'd like one, I'll have them available for sale after the pre-orders are all shipped.
So, after a couple of sessions failing to produce a new sketch, I reached into the archive...

I'm totally behind on everything right now and I just realized that last month's reward link never went up. I've been focused on getting books shipped from my very late Kickstarter campaign from 5 years ago!
More art soon :)

I've been getting progressively more interested in NFTs since around 2017 and today it finally boiled up and crossed into new territory. Today, I made a snap purchase to buy an NFT from an artist I like. I didn't buy it as an investment or a statement, I just wanted to buy it beca...

Da'at is the blessed container. Da'at is relief and flexible. The grateful bearer of Burdens.

Hey guys,

Early on in this painting I had to stop and take a second pass at the value phase. It's something I need to do when the colors aren't quite "sticking" to the canvas. This time around, I managed to do such a tight job on the values overall that the detail phase has been mostly finished in a single...

I wanted to continue with the trend of painting the Emanations in natural light. This time though, I wanted it to feel a little more dramatic. I love doing this trick where I shine a spotlight on the middle of the character. It's always moody and cool looking. To me, it makes them look like they ...

There's been a lot of excitement around these parts recently and I wanted to paint something that shared that same energy.
It wasn't until after I drew this that I realized that there are a lot of meteors showing up in my paintings. First it was the craters in the background of Keter's late...

A silver rim, adorned with a single drop of pure light dancing to an unknowable rhythm. It thrums in the dark and a melody pours from it, slow and out of Time.

This whole piece is packed with bits of stuff, so it's taking a while to scrub together the final touches. Ultimately, I'm going to end up pulling out some of the elements I planned in order to make the composition feel less crowded.
When it comes down to it, the goal is to differentiate th...

The old color palette for Keter was really weird but I wanted to keep the green for the new one too. For all the new Emanations, I've been trying to have a more high key approach to the lighting. Shining some daylight on them instead of having them exist in the murky void they lived in before. So...

I'm running late on posting this month, but not really on the artwork itself. Things are weird right now.
I decided to keep working on another couple of Emanation paintings next. With the books finally getting printed, I've had these figures on my mind a lot recently. Revisiting them is a ...

Hey guys,
I don't know how many of you are riding this NFT wave, so I don't want to crow about this too much if it's not your thing. Please feel free to give me feedback about this. I just want you to get the heads up that I've minted new NFTs for Ophiuchus and Grave of Hope recently:
The Master
Behind the scenes of any story, a mysterious figure looms in repose. The passions and temper of Kundaliel reveal themselves through the subtle ways in which they influence those around them. Our resonance to this Angel reveals itself in the moment of clarity that allows us to se...
Hidden behind the progress posts for this piece is a lot of trial and error, trying to find the right balance of values and colors. When I get to this state, I can create the illusion that I knew what this painting was going to look like from the beginning.
