The last Deviation I did was for the Frank Frazetta tribute art jam.The next one I'm working on is a Viking Funeral Pyre. I troll the Joseph Micheal Linsner boards and someone is looking for submissions for a magazine she is doing dealing with fantasy and mythology.I figure it's a step in the right direction.Even if nothing comes of it,at least I gave it a shot.I'm working on a series of sketches of Viking ships,and also studying Bernie Wrightson's Frankenstein illustrations,plus Tim Vigil's "Gothic Nights" for inspiration.

It is with great pride to announce that I will be presenting the Mark Farner piece to Mr.Farner HIMSELF at the Aug 15,2009 Atwood Studium show in Flint,MI. http://artphantom.deviantart.com/art/Mark-Farner-59818837 The work has been finished and will be waiting for the event. Mark has been an inspiration to me most of my life.We grew up in the same area in Flint,(though,at different times). I am fanboy geeked beyond belief.:)
