Father's Day Paintings

The imagery of fathers and children has always fascinated me. Whether its Hector and his Son, Arthur and Merlin, or Anakin and Luke, its a powerful iconic narrative that has always captured artists and story tellers. Below I've put together a few images of fathers(teachers) and children (pupils) that I've approached over the years....

Enjoy and Happy Father's Day

Player's Handbook 3

I've got some fun illustrations I did last year that just came out for Dungeons & Dragons Player's Handbook 3. These Player Class portraits have been an exciting challenge, and I really enjoyed the designs...
Enjoy.
