Just a page of sketches -- a wuff in different poses. I don't know what I was thinking when i did these, (or even _if_ i was thinking) but here they are.
Strawberry Dozing on a July Morning. (16x12, oil on canvas) Just playing around with a more subdued color scheme and yet still trying to maintain strong contrast. (Strawberry is copyright... herself.)
"Wolf Attacking a Caribou," or "Frustration At What Classifies As Fine Art." 16"x12" Oil on canvas. (Now, properly color-balanced.)
This is April, a clouded leopard (commissioned by Katie Sickles).

"Across the Koyukuk," (18"x10", Oil on Canvas). Inspired by the trip my dogs and I shared through Alaska's Brooks Range. Left to right, the dogs are, Peter Pan, Mojo, Kemu, Rascal, Wolfie and Strawberry. There'll be a short story on my website recounting the experience, for anyone wanting to know what mushing 100 miles north of the Arctic Circle was like -- it was an experience I shall never forget. ("Art is Life. If you don't life it, it won't come out of your horn." -- Winton Marcellus)
"Campfire" (Lightwave 3D)
"Howl," (Lightwave 3D). Arctic moon, rise over tundra spruce, ice wolf song, under drapery of light.
"Lookouts" (Lightwave 3D).
"Sasha" (18"x24", Oil on canvas).
"Through the Veils" (10"x14", oil on canvas). A portrait of an old friend, for some wonderful new friends. He lived as most only dream. Jagger, 1986 - 2002. Safe and wonderful journeys, my friend. God/dess/es Bless.
The Alaska Mint made my design of Rascal into a Commemorative Coin for the 2002 Yukon Quest!
"Whiteout" (Lightwave + Photoshop). This is the final version of "Whiteout," (as simple as the effect may seem, it took a whole lot of re-touching to get the piece the way it was in my mind). And just in case anyone is interested, large-format prints of this and other pieces are available (including -- finally -- "When We Were Wolves")! Until the new site gets built, just e-mail me with what you're interested in!
A fox sips his PG Tips! (Portrait of the artist.)
He's a bubbling ol' Sidartha type. Master of the "Drunken Dragon" style of Kung-fu. He'll set you on the path of wisdom and make you think the decisions were all yours.
When you meet that one soul that is the mate of your own, the doors of Heaven swing wide. Playing with fur-shaders; seeing if I can re-create an earlier work in 3D.
Blessed Samhain! The veils between the worlds are thin... those who were lost can be found....
A sketch.

He was the most handsome being I've ever met. If a picture is liken to a thousand words, it would take a thousand pictures to capture even a single moment of being in his presence. I pray that tigers will always walk among us. (ed. 200, 16"x12", canvas)
A big, fuzzy matron, all purrs and bedtime stories.
An updated photo of Ras and the Pack and me. Mushing the Goldstream Valley, November, 2003. (Photograph by Miriam Taylor-Cooper.)
It is done... It is as good as I can make it. I am content with the tools and techniques it teaches; how it embodies what I have taught in person for years. It is what I wish I would have had when I first dreamed of becoming an animator, what I wish I would have had when I "Plateaued," and none around me could help me get to where I wanted to be as an artist. To quote Ms. Brisby, "You can unlock any door, if you only have the Key." May this be the Key, for a great many people, who also have dreamed "the Dream."
Ever edited in Premiere before? This fur has... Just an expression doodle focused from a multi-week long bout between myself (who certainly does not claim to be an editor) and a piece of software (that claims much about being an editing program, but falls far short). I suppose we must also note, that Avid is no better about leaving your hard-won files alone after a crash.
More expression studies... Seeing if I can pull off something not usually within my range.
Just a quick tea-house doodle.
With solomness and respect, Bakita pays homage to the spirit of one far greater than he.
Just trying something mundane. A tiger taking off a jacket.
A father shows his daughter the stars for the first time, long before she has words to ask all the questions that fill her heart with wonder.
Sometimes... the grapes are sweet.
