F.A.Q.

What are you working on right now? 

I am currently working on freelance illustration and writing projects. I am also occupied with my Holocaust book and other personal endeavors. 

What materials are you using? 

For watercolors, I mostly use a combination of M. Graham, Schmincke, Daniel Smith, Qor, and Winsor & Newton. I also use a little Sennelier and Holbein. For gouache I usually end up with Schmincke and M. Graham. My acrylics and oils are mostly M. Graham and Golden. 

The watercolor brushes I use are Escoda Tajmyr Series 1212 and 1214. I also have a couple Winsor & Newton Series 7 brushes. When sketching, I like using a Niji waterbrush. I'm not very picky with acrylic and oil brushes so long as they have a square shape and don't shed. 

The papers I use are mostly Saunders Waterford blocks and sheets (Hot Press and Cold Press, 140 lb and 200 lb), Arches (Hot Press), Fabriano Artistico (Hot Press), and Winsor & Newton (Hot Press). The sketchbooks I use most are the Strathmore Mixed Media Visual Journal and the large black Handbook. 

For inking, I have a Pentel pocket brush pen, Copic Multiliners (I mostly use a .7), and a Series 7 brush (size 2). 

For more information, I post a lot of art supply reviews on my blog.

Do you sell prints?

I do! I have a small selection at Inprnt.
