Description

I was recently commissioned to paint The Twelve Apostles, and I immediately jumped at the opportunity to do so. I always wanted to paint an illustration that was religious themed, so I put a lot of thought and care into this project. The illustration was very challenging and time consuming, I must admit; Never before have I painted an illustration featuring such a large cast of characters, but I was up for the challenge. This painting will be featured in an upcoming publication as well titled "The Vested World", and will be available sometime of March of next year.

This is outstanding! I've been looking at it in full view, staring at all the different faces. They're such individuals ... it was easy to pick out Judas of course, and I think Peter as well. You've given the characters life and personality, and the way you've used light adds to their realness. Really fine work ... congratulations!

Brilliant work. Love the iconic design, the details in the faces and robes, the grouping and how each head is tilted in different directions. So shall we play Where is Judas ;-)
