Often times my journey as an artist has felt like fumbling through the dark - only getting a glimpse of light that tells me I’m headed in the right direction. GenCon was a bright shining moment. It was wonderful to see all of my art family and meet so many wonderful new people. I am honored by the support for my art and I can’t wait to get back to work. . . . . . . #gencon

Just a few of the amazing moments from #phoenixcomicon . This year was incredible. This journey I’m on will always feel surreal, but it’s moments like this that remind me how lucky I am to be able to live this. Thank you all. I will see you next year my friends. Safe travels.

Phantom of the Pines In the pines, the pines These trees are his confines Cursed a demon and left to shiver His human body began to wither In the pines, the pines A phantom you may find Wandering the trees searching for why They abandoned him to die . . . . . . . #gavingrayvalentine #art #illustration #fantasyart #portlandart #conceptart #instaart #creative #surreal #folklore #fantasy #art2018 #darkart #horror #sketch #sketchbook #thumbnails #wip #drawing #pencil #pencildrawing #pencilsketch #traditionalart #traditionalartist #originalart #originalcharacter
