Painter and writer. Much of my work is dark and I tend to use a lot of water imagery. I have formal training and firmly believe in understanding the rules before they are broken. When others see butterflies and flowers, I see moths and thistles…but I try to add elements of love, compassion, hope, and humor to a good amount of my work.

I am steadily adding items for purchase and many originals are also for sale. I can also be commissioned for portraits, and am able to provide separate examples outside of this portfolio if interested.

If you’d like to get in touch with me outside of redbubble, I can be reached at darkest.artist@yahoo.com

Thanks for your interest and enjoy the gallery :) comments are always welcome.

Jeremy

Jeremy finished loading the bodies in the back of the truck. What a fine day. He would haul, drain and embalm and then get some rest.

Michael

If a prerequisitie to admittance into Heaven was self-denial, then Michael would surely fit in amongst the saints. As a former practicing priest, he struggled with his own mortality and morality every…

Abram

On his way back to the basement, Abram smiled, smug in his success. Oh, sweet Andromeda. The hunt is on.

Will

And he found out that he really didn’t feel a thing. That happens sometimes when one has been drugged, duped and dined upon. Abram took one very quick, swift nip to Will’s neck, right unde…
