Here’s a recent mixed-media artwork showing a very young female writer from Victorian ages. I really like the overall mood for this one.

Here’s another whimscial cover artwork I created for The Writer magazine. It illustrates a feature by Richard Goodman where a writer celebrates his readers. It’s a playful piece, and I was going for a multi-faceted image with a great many individual scenes showing people reading a book, and the happy author of that book in their midst.

I wanted this to be funny and full of gleaming sunlight, and so I decided to go for a city-by-the-beach setting with people everywhere, reading a little red book; and the proud writer is red-colored, too. In trying not to distract the attention too much, I used only a few warm colors.

A few illustrations of mine have just gotten published in The Writer magazine on articles on literary fiction. One of them even made it on the cover.

The first image shows a little man balancing on a four-row stack of blocks with letters inside which say, LITERARY FICTION (see the spread below).

Image number two is of a little man looking up at a huge stack of books (this is the one that made it on the cover, in part).

And the last illustration (see below) shows a little figure writing on a sheet of paper with some thought balloons coming out of his head.

Here’s a mixed-media image depicting the multifaceted Hungarian-Austrian writer, Arthur Koestler, who rose to fame with novels like, Darkness at Noon.
