Tanja's Momento

While driving through the desert, (en route from Mexico to Alaska) I came across an old box of Polaroids. Most of them were sun bleached and the original photos gone forever, so I figured I'd paint some small pieces to make use of the frame.

"Interested in a fly-by? Love, Tanja"

Momma's Boy

Cause it don't matter to me-
Whatever you happen to be;
A beagle,
A grunion,
A fig or an ape,
As long as you're you,
I'll still love ya.

Moonshine

It'll put hair on your chest.

Mortal Coils

For in that sleep of death what dreams may come
When we have shuffled off this mortal coil,
Must give us pause: there's the respect
That makes calamity of so long life;

For who would bear the whips and scorns of time,
The oppressor's wrong, the proud man's contumely,
The pangs of despised love, the law's delay,
The insolence of office and the spurns
That patient merit of the unworthy takes,
When he himself might his quietus make
With a bare bodkin? who would fardels bear,
To grunt and sweat under a weary life?

RIKI TIKI TAVI WOULD.

Murderous

Gaily I lived as ease and nature taught,
And spent my little life without a thought,
And am amazed that Death, that tyrant grim,
Should think of me, who never thought of him.
~René Francois Regnier

"O Oysters, come and walk with us!"
The Walrus did beseech.
A pleasant walk, a pleasant talk
Along the briny beach.

A Quick Kiss

Here's a sample of another project I've been working on! I've been doing the interior illustrations and cover for Kyell Gold's newest novel, Out Of Position. It's a good read! There is much to love--gay jock tigers, foxes in drag, a professional football career on the line if their relationship is exposed--and of course, lots of juicy scenes like only Kyell can write 'em.

For more information on the book and to read the first couple parts, check out Kyell's website!

One of a couple little pieces (5x3") I sketched on smallish scrap paper to help keep me sane between larger projects.

Out of Position - Cover

Here is the cover I did a few weeks ago for Kyell Gold's new novel, Out of Position! I also did the interior illustrations and some chapterhead pics. :]

If you like, you can read some of the first chapters of the book on Kyell Gold's website, over yonder!

It's due to be released in January at FC and will be available online from Sofawolf after that! :]

Play Date

I came across this half-painted piece that had fallen behind my desk this afternoon, and boy, did I need an excuse to paint in lusious yellows and oranges after the last piece. So here it is!

Contrary to popular belief, rabbits and coyotes play very well together.

Happy Easter! ;]

Puppy Love

I am thinking it's a sign that the freckles in our eyes are mirror images and when we kiss they're perfectly aligned.

The Ragged Meadow

Who wakes in the wilderness when night is done
Fancying himself lord of all the land
May see what was not there at the set of the sun
And tremblingly will come to understand
The peril that has passed him in the dark--
Tracks...in the sand.

Couldn't for the life of me get this to scan well. My scanner hates greens with such a deep, loathing passion, I'm starting to suspect a leprechaun stole it's wallet.
