Butterflies (I)

A year and a half after my fundraising efforts for the 2015 ALC resulted in a list of commissions for various donors, I'm FINALLY all done! This is a piece created for one of my oldest friends, and I'm awfully proud of it. Thank you again to all of my supporters!

Hamlet (I)

Tiger (I)

Happy Halloween! (I)

A little reward for a cat-loving friend of mine and her two fur-babies. Wow, I just typed the term "fur-babies" like it was nothing. My cat ladies are rubbing off on me fer sher. Happy Halloween, y'all!

Halloween Radness 2016! (I)

The birthday twin portraits continue, friends. This is year five - click HERE to see last year's. Guess those references? Happy best month, y'all!

Hamlet Portrait (I)

Another AIDS Ride commission completed - a requested portrait of a friend in one of his favorite roles. The finished product is below, with some process shots below that.

 

Mama Mack (GD)

Someone's making her own jam out in San Leandro...certified delish!

Apocalypse and Archangel (I)

Still one of the best plot twists/character redesigns ever. Angel became...well, useful. I've been an X-Men fan since way way back, but I'm not so keen on the movies. Still haven't seen this one...

An Owl for a Suckah (I)

M is for Mila (I)

Some process images for the second niecelet's first birthday, a magpie for Mila! The final design is the simpler one, bottom left.

Golden Gate Owl (I)

D is for Delish (I)

The final B is for Baby design for the final Mack! Here's baby David, modeling his slick little bib like the model Mack he is. All three designs are there on the lower right, and for more B is for Baby designs, click the link on the right.

Bodie (I)

Another ALC thank you piece. Watercolor of my friend's dog, Bodie.

Sick Day Jelly (I)

I remember one of the first pieces of art that I made where I went, "Wow! Look what I did!" It was this jellyfish I drew on a cross-country plane trip - I must have been flying home on a break from freshman year in college. I drew the thing from my head, then I got super detailed with colored pencils. I think I still have it around somewhere...anyway, I like things with tentacles.

In preparation for some upcoming projects, I drew/painted this on a recent sick day from work. No photoshop, y'all, and it's freeeeaky not having a control-z option!

Dungeons and Dragons (I)

Looking for a distraction from nursing school madness, I joined a Dungeons & Dragons group that met every other Sunday. A year and a half later, we've successfully completed our first major campaign, and Greyhawk is safe from Tiamat! (You're welcome.) This is a poster I made for my Murder Hoboes, the six most excellent dudes I've had the honor of fighting alongside these past months. Having a place to go to for a few hours every other week has really helped to ground me, in school and in the intensity of my new job - this illustration is the least I could do to show my gratitude.

Surfer Minotaur (I)

Li'l Owl (I)

The Quality of Life Promotional Design (GD)

An AIDS Ride donation reward turned into the promotional design for a friend's play, coming to life in San Francisco very soon. If it's anything like The Goat, it should be truly exceptional. Below are the postcard (front and back), poster, and online banner designs for Monday Afternoon Production.

Two Nurses (I)

The AIDS Ride rewards just keep coming. Here's two illustrations for two of my favorite l'il new nurses. Thanks for your support, homies!

Li'l Viking (I)

To celebrate having 50 followers on Instagram (@owlhenry), the first person to comment that I'm awesome won a prize. Linnea requested a Viking, and Linnea got a Viking. Thanks for your support, my friend!

Kitsune Christmas (I)

To close out one year and open up another, here's my holiday card design for 2015, a kitsune and her owl gettin' all peaceful-like. No idea where this idea came from...

I hope your holidays have been exactly what you wanted them to be. Happy New Year!
