For 20 years I have simultaneously been an avid street sketcher and traveling watercolorist, AND a digital artist and video game designer. And I suppose, most of the useful knowledge gained over my 20 odd years as a working artist. My first two art-instructional books represent the two sides of my artistic brain.

Order “The Apocalypse Variations” in Print or eBook Edition And the paintings are my best work in watercolor to date. This is one artist looking forward from where we stand in 2019, facing unabated climate change, and the environmental legacy of industrialization. In essence, the book is a meditation on the future, through the lens of contemporary landscape painting. You’ll find large reproductions of the paintings, alongside pre-production sketches and close up details of densely painted wet-in-wet watercolor effects, accompanied by a revealing narrative of my thinking behind the art. Unlike my previous work, this book is not a ‘how-to’ for artists. This self-published paperback collects all thirty paintings from our June 2019 marathon #30x30DirectWatercolor2019. My fourth art-book, “ The Apocalypse Variations: Thirty Paintings in Thirty Days” < affiliate link, thx] is available now on in print and ebook.

I’ve put all that inspiration together into this self-published book. It’s been an incredible opportunity – helping define what painting means to me. I’ve been tremendously lucky to have been working as an art instructor with Urban Sketchers (.org) and Craftsy (.com), which, for the past five years, has allowed me to focus almost exclusively on watercolor. “Direct Watercolor” (2018)
