A picture I did of Mary Tudor as a young princess some years ago— inspired by the great YA novel “Mary Bloody Mary” by Carolyn Meyer.

This is a commission I did recently, of Thomas Cranmer, Henry VIII’s Archbishop of Canterbury, and his secret wife Margaret (who was memorably if inaccurately depicted in the Tudors TV show). She was a German girl who was awfully young for Mr Cranmer, but it was a happy match by all accounts. It took a while, but the client was very happy with how it turned out.

I drew this ages ago for a friend who has since passed away; it’s nice to see it still making the rounds on the interwebz.

Nero, as drawn by Philippe Delaby for Jean Dufaux’ graphic novel Murena, is ridiculously hot. I’m not afraid to say that either.

I did this for a Delta Education reader a few years ago. It was fun— because it was so big I had the chance to be more painterly than I usually am.

Studies of Mr. Darcy and Lizzie for a cover illustration I’m working on now. The client specifically requested c. 1797 costumes. More to follow… 

This gorgeous illo by Alan Ayers (who I interviewed here) is for Stephanie Dray’s Song of the Nile. I love this pic so much, I think I want to live in it.

Hey look— it’s Saruman! I painted this aaages ago… around 2003/2004. Good old Christopher Lee.

I have a new Tumblr blog… and it’s all about ’80s mens fashions. Awww yeah.

Follow me if you’re interested in my snarky-yet-loving discussion of the minutiae of men’s clothes from that oh-so-memorable decade!

I need to do more Disney fanart, once I find the time… which I haven’t had a lot of these days.

Gaston is such a doll. Too bad about him being evil and all that…
