Skull and candle. Kind of like a still life illustration. Except that the skull wasn't there, haha!

This illustration is based on my childhood favorite, Hans Andersen's story, the steadfast tin soldier.

I’m fascinated in how something may make you feel. For instance, I’m deeply moved by images of outer space from the Hubble space telescope, but I do not try to recreate those photographs in my work. What does not exist in those photos, is how they may make us feel. This is why you won’t see any “realism” in my art. When we send astronauts to space, they can discuss factually what is happening, but what truly moves human beings is when astronauts describe how they felt while they were there. So, I choose to express how I feel, as opposed to illustrate what I see.

And now to swing wildly in the other direction. This is a cute little profile of my friends original character, a conjuror named Estin.
