Art Book Review: The Art Of Magic The Gathering – The Rath Cycle

Long before art books were such a common sight, one franchise already displayed a strong emphasis on the quality of their artworks: the now ubiquitous trading card game Magic The Gathering (MTG). This artbook was released in 1998 and displays an attention to detail akin to a Hollywood movie production artboard. Over the years it […]

Life drawing workshops (UPDATE SEPT.21)

Several people contacted me over the years asking if I was still organizing english-speaking drawing workshops here in Vilnius. My previous article must still appear high on Google. Good news: we’re back! The drawing course happens every Wednesday unless stated otherwise. It starts at 18h30 but you can come a bit earlier to discuss. The […]

Art book review: The Art of Adrian Smith

Perusing the amazing and brutal artworks that embellished the many codices and rulebooks of Warhammer and Warhammer 40K for hours on end as a teenager is one of the reasons I am a professional artist today. Adrian Smith could have been just one among many other prolific and talented artists, yet his illustrations certainly stood […]

Art Book Review: Clive Barker – Visions of Heaven and Hell

I wrote briefly about the relevance of Clive Barker in my life as an artist for my review of his older art book Clive Barker – Illustrator. Visions of Heaven and Hell is the great yang to Illustrator’s yin. Whereas the latter book presented a rather intimate look into Barker’s thought process and delicate ink […]

Art book review: Clive Barker – Illustrator

  My interest in Clive Barker’s universe has been so long-standing I cannot remember where I discovered him in the first place. It might have been through his Tortured Souls action figures, or some earlier reference to Hellraiser, but what I can say for sure is that it was perennialized through my reading of the […]

Art book review: Alfonse Mucha / Thomas Negovan – Le Pater

  This was the first crowdfunded project I backed, back in 2016. I knew that there was more than meets the eye when it comes to Alfonse Mucha. I wanted to see what he had up his sleeve besides the obvious ornamental style he is universally known for and, much like Gustav Klimt and his […]

Art book review: Simon Stålenhag & Anna Davour – Urtidsbilder

Happy new year 2020! What a decade. To kick off the next one, here’s my first book review, with a twist: I haven’t even read the book. Let me explain! I heard of Simon Stålenhag’s “dinosaur” series (really, it’s more about paleozoology in general) looking at the aptly named ‘Paleoart’ section of his website, and […]

Guest again for Comic Con Baltics 2019!

My second time as a guest for Comic Con Baltics. This was Sept 21-22 in Litexpo, Vilnius. I have been invited once more to be part of Comic Con Baltics 2019! This was both a huge honor and a great source of panic, as I have had nowhere near the available time to develop something specific […]

July 2018 roundup

Hi there, Two hectic years have passed since moving to Vilnius with my family. I suppose I could inform a bit more on the news section, especially since projects have come and gone at a hectic pace. Let’s make it a monthly meeting from now on. For most of the years I have been instructing […]
