It appeared in Spectrum 9, and somehow was the only grayscale piece for 20 pages in any direction.

My work for the Maelstrom imprint of Thunderstorm Books will be seen at the end of 2010. I did three covers and signature sheets for three of their books: Six Days by Kelli Owen, and The Rising: Deliverance and A Gathering of Crows, both by Brian Keene. I’ve worked quite a bit with Cemetery Dance Publications as well,…

Russ’s Art Blog: A Wolf Had Not Been Seen in Salem for Thirty Years

I’ve been thinking of trying out one of Howard Pyle’s works for some time, but they’re kind of difficult to come by online.
