G. D. Falksen of Tor.com wrote a fantastic article on my artwork as a part of their "December Belongs to Cthulhu", a month long series relating to the Lovecraft Mythos. You should go and check it out, or the tentacled thing-that-cannot-be-described from Vhoorl will eat your brains.

Just finished up a new piece entitled CONSTRUCT.

I've just added a long list of various projects to GrendelsDen.net, including work for Information Society, Platform one, Dave Ghoul, and Shadowland Lancaster. To see all of the new stuff just browse through GrendelsDen.net.

Since I've had a lot of work over the past few months I haven't really had the time to make any proper updates to GrendelsDen.net. But you can expect to see all of that new material soon; artwork, promotional materials, music packaging designs, websites... yeah, there's a lot to add. In the meantime though, to keep your morbid interests, here's another look into a piece of artwork in progress. Enjoy!

Ben Smith from Fangoria.com's blog has a great article on Grendel's Den Design Studio, which you can read here.

I personally wanted to thank Ben for the feature. I greatly appreciate it.
