		<title>Infecting the frame around the art</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I decided, since I had a few old frames left over from another project, that the best thing to do would be to destroy the ever-loving hell out of one of them.]]></description>

		<title>From start to finish: The Cover of Brian Keene&#8217;s Scratch</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I like seeing how art evolves, from the beginning of the thumbnail sketches all the way through the final product. I think you can literally see an artist&#8217;s though processes as they work through issues, try new things, and complete what their vision is. In my case, it might be more like watching chaos unfold [...]]]></description>

		<title>Approaching art from all angles</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I never just charge into a piece for the sake of doing art, I always let it mull around in my head some first. Sometimes I have a pretty good idea and I just need to smooth things out. Other times, there&#8217;s a lot of thought in what the scene portrays, who&#8217;s in it, what&#8217;s [...]]]></description>

		<title>My current Apex Magazine blogs</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Since January of 2010, Jason Sizemore and MG Ellington over at Apex Magazine have given me the opportunity to talk on their blog each month about art, and how I create it.  Now, so far, it&#8217;s been mostly rants about the things I see wrong with art and with the various genres I&#8217;m a part [...]]]></description>

		<title>My art for Brian Keene&#8217;s novella Scratch</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve been very anxious to show everyone this, and now, upon the release of the novella, I can do just that. Below I&#8217;ve attached a number of pieces of art that I did for author Brian Keene&#8217;s book Scratch, just released from Cemetery Dance Publications. Scratch, if you don&#8217;t follow Keene&#8217;s work (and his followers [...]]]></description>

		<title>Now at the gallery</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve been a part of a local gallery for several months now, and it&#8217;s been a great experience.  Having been an illustrator for so many years, it&#8217;s been interesting to explore the prints and fine art side of things. Luckily, the On Display Gallery in Fort Collins, Colorado (just up the road from home) specializes [...]]]></description>

		<title>New Art: My first acrylic &#8211; no giggling</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Sometimes, I shudder to post new ideas or new techniques that I try. I never know if they really work out, if they are ok but just need work, or if they are so awful that the sun will shrivel up and we&#8217;ll all die. But, I also think that as an artist I always [...]]]></description>
