This is a pic I did for HR Professional some time ago. It’s in the current issue I believe.
Here was the original sketch, and some other ideas I pitched to the editor. I quite liked the one with the words going into the head, but the one they picked was nice too. The article was [...]
So like everything else that gets finished, The Hunted started out as a pencil sketch. Since this was a test, I sketched it straight onto my Stonehenge paper.

So, seeing how I’ve never painted a toy before (unless [...]
I originally called this piece Cheating, since the idea was to show a girl who was upset about finding our her boyfriend was cheating on her. I prefer ‘Loss’ now since it’s more general and describes the general theme of the picture more clearly I think.
