SMILER (1978) Acrylic on Masonite - 24" x 16" Inspired by an evening walk through downtown Los Angeles. I was with a large group of authors and artists from the World Fantasy Convention, chatting away as we strolled back to the hotel, when two large rats scuttled by. 1/3 #art #booksky

A skeletal intruder brandishes a long knife with curving blade as it props open a door to peer inside. Its hand appears desiccated—decomposing flesh not bone—as it extends slender fingers against the well-worn wood to widen the gap. A bright red handkerchief is tucked into the neckline of its brown overcoat, concealing chest and throat. A wide brimmed hat completes its disguise. Perhaps from behind it could pass as human, but leering through the door its murderous intent is clear. Blue light gleams from a dark sphere set in one bony socket, and it's jaw hangs open in a grim toothy smile. The view out reveals tall buildings beyond—somewhere urban—and the cool glow of streetlights reduced to hazy saucers runs in a diagonal along a dark street unseen.

We've had 3-4 weeks of nonstop, brutal heat here in France. You open up everything at night to cool the house down, then shutter everything up with reflective foil taped over the windows to attempt to keep it cool during the day. The heat lurks outside, slowly digging its way in. #art #fantasyart

A watercolor drawing showing a rabbit hiding in a hole underground, while outside a skeletal fox engulfed in flames begins to try digging its way in. The atmosphere around the rabbit is a cool blue, while the sky outside is a warm yellow. There are various rocks in the dirt.
