I don't know how long the pieces will be up but I can guarantee that I'll be there on Saturday July 18 from 4pm-8pm for meet and greet kind of thingy. I'll post a link wherever you find this so you can RSVP. It's a free event but space is limited. In the universe of Soccer Gods, legends and heroes of myth and folklore come together to compete in a sort of celestial soccer world cup the results of which have shaped humanity's past, present, and future. I got to design the Amazon River Serpent, The Raven, and The Soccer Gods version of the Jersey Devil. This first release is collectible trading cards but the possibilities for this universe and the projects it could spawn are endless and I'm super thankful to Starlight Runner and Que Pop for bringing me in on the fun! See you on July 18!

Wrath of the Machine Phase 1: Vosik. Vosik sits watching soap operas on a massive screen. One character on the soap says "It's still me. I still love you" while the other replies "I... I hardly recognize you any more..." Vosik turns angrily and says, "What the junk? Who's interrupting my stories?" A small Guardian holds up a Golden Gun and says, "Hey jerkface! I need boots!"

Kamen Rider Eins in a fighting pose facing off against a trooper who wears a modified Kamen Rider mask that has an open lower half showing his mouth and chin. The trooper is in a button up shirt and suit jacket for some reason. I guess someone in production thought it looked cool for the video? Behind Eins lit in red is Kamen Rider Fatale. She's basically a black version of Kamen Rider Femme who was in all white, but the way I've lit her in the piece makes her look mostly red with gold trim on the chest and helmet visor.
Dark Kamen Rider Femme looms over Kamen Rider Eins who doesn't notice because a trooper is confronting her
WIP of a piece I'm working on for Kaiju Brooklyn. Amazoness stands on the wreckage of Leopardon sword in hand scowling at a defeated Spider-Man. Looming above her and not quite painted yet is Professor Monster
Amazoness stands over Spider-Man, sword in her right hand and gesturing with her left. She smiles menacingly.

The armor is samurai inspired but patterned after Ultraman Belial. In the background on the right is an armored warrior ready to draw his sword. His armored is patterned after Ultraman Zero

An advertisement for an Artist Fair at Movement climbing gym in Rockville, Maryland. There is clip art of a paint tube, a pumpkin, a gingerbread person, some falling leafs, and a paint brush. Along the right side of the advert are three photos, the top one of Helena Pocket who won't be there this time, the second is of two people I don't know but one is holding up a cute sticker they bought from the other, and the third is me doing a silly heart sign with my fingers.
