So Much New Stuff!

My original sub-shops (collections) are full of new work and several older designs have been updated with larger, higher quality images I recovered off an old drive.

And I have several new shops that are getting new designs almost every day!



When I'm stressed, I create art as a way of coping and boy, oh boy, have I been stressed. So the good news is that's been a very productive time for me! The other good news is that more of my art has been approved into fan art partnerships by the brands, so I have more fandom stuff up! I have officially approved artwork up for Star Trek, Penny Dreadful, and The Prisoner. More are in queue for approval. I load new designs every couple of days, usually a few at a time, so check back frequently -- and be sure to follow me!

While my entire portfolio is on RedBubble.com, I've also pushed my top sellers over to Society6 and TeePublic - so check prices between sites when shopping. One of them is almost always on sale. Also, the trick of signing in, loading up your cart then leaving the site to get coupons emailed to you, works really well. Society6 and TeePublic in particular send out "abandoned shopping cart" coupons pretty consistently.

In January and February, I'll be posting my designs on Threadless, TeeSpring and ArtStation as well.

NOTE: One place you will never find my art is on Amazon. If you see my designs there, they have been stolen. I'd really appreciate a heads-up here on Twitter if anyone spots my designs there.

The Black Friday craziness is going to hit all of the sites like mad, so all artists are loading new designs as quickly as they can. I encourage everyone to consider shopping with these platforms as a way to not only give really unique, thoughtful gifts to friends and family, but to support indie artists. With the sales going on, your holiday gift giving will be pretty inexpensive and you'll be helping artists keep doing what they love most - creating art for their followers and fans!

All of my links are at the top of the page so be sure to check them out. I welcome feedback here, and on DeviantArt - RedBubble also has an email system - so let me know what you'd like to see!

Star Trek Artists: Tips for Getting Your Fan Art Approved by the Brand

One of the abstract Obsidian Order (commissioned) pieces CBS approved on RedBubble.   Another commissioned set of designs approved by CBS this week.   I finally have a handful of artwork that's been approved by CBS for sale on RedBubble! It only took 6 months, but at least now I have a better understanding of what they're looking for, and what they're rejecting. What follows is only slightly above hearsay but it's what I've learned from other Star Trek artists and from representatives at RedBubble and TeePublic (which have now merged.)   I only recently found out a lot of this stuff when RedBubble and TeePublic joined forces. TeePublic reached out to me upload my fanart over there and I asked them what the brands, particularly CBS/Star Trek was looking for. The rep actually gave me some really helpful info that isn't on the Brand Partnership page. Here's the TL;DR if you don't want to read the whole thing: Avoid actors' face

The Glory of The Expanse Rewatch

WARNING - Spoilers ahead, probably. Especially if you haven't seen seasons 1-3 of The Expanse. I don't remember enjoying a rewatch of any series as much as The Expanse! (Season 4, as well as the previous seasons, are now available to watch on Amazon Prime.)  As soon as I finished Season 4, I started the entire series again. It's like the series was designed to be watched again and again, just in the sheer density of goodies left for fans. Here are my top reasons to watch the whole again and how to get the most out of the experience. (Click on the pictures to enlarge.) 1. The Soundtrack Get the soundtrack if you haven't already. There are Belter versions of pop songs, beautiful instrumentals from Clinton Shorter, all that country music Alex is always listening to and so much more. It's an outstanding soundtrack at a time when most soundtracks I hear just haven't been that inspiring. The quote below (with link following) really gets at why the sco

Update and Massive Art Theft

I've been a bit quiet lately trying to handle a bit of an art business crisis. Every month I have a process where I search for my artworks across platforms to see if anyone is uploading art images stolen from my social media pages or worse, from the stores my artwork is sold on. And every month I have a handful - usually between 5 and 10. Sadly, that's the nature of the business. On February 28th, I found 52 of my artworks taken from Teepublic (I format specifically for that store, so they were easy to identify) and loaded onto Redbubble stores. On March 1st, I found 11 more. On March 5th, 13 more. On March 9th, 32 more. This time with artwork I had only uploaded in the last 2 days. Every few days I find between 10-20 more. I notified Teepublic that it looked like their site had been scraped (bots ripping images from the site - images that had no watermark but still had signatures still intact.) I told them whatever the exposure was, it was still exposed two days previously.
