Friday Night Magic

Been very inspired by Magic: The Gathering lately.. a game that I was outrageously into as a child, and is now making a comeback into my adult life. Started Playing in 94 with the launch of Revised, and it dominated those years... after many years later, it's been a blast to dig back in.
There was something about the look of these cards when i was young, that really drew me into the world of illustration. Even looking at old cards and the artwork that goes with them.. brings back waves of memories that I thought I had forgotten.

Upcoming RED show!

Hey all, more details to come soon. but upcoming RED show has me very excited! here is a sneak peak with some show info below!

ReDiscovery Show has begun!

Wanted to give a huge thanks to Gauntlet Gallery for including my recent piece into their show.. was a ton of fun with an amazing subject matter to draw from. Looking forward to the next!

Dave Greco Facebook Art Community
I will be doing alot of updates through that site as well, and it's a great way to communicate with everyone, thanks!

Recent Piece for ArtOrder. enjoy! Some things about it I like, and some I wish that were present.

New SP series

I realized recently I had not done a self portrait in years.. probably 6 or more. Remember back in art school, you'd have to crank out atleast one of these a week. Great for taking your time in understanding light and form. It also always makes me think of Andrew Jones doing 365 SP's in a row back in the day.. so in honor of ALL that, I am going to try to atleast do a self portrait once a month.

Presenting: Nick Locapo

Just finished this piece for friend and fellow Magician, Nick Locapo. Was a ton of fun and looking forward to creating more work for him. Be sure to check him out @ Nick Locapo: Celebrity Magician

Psychic Tear

Been doing a bunch of "just for fun" paintings recently, ended up doing this one fairly quickly (probably 4 hour piece).

New prints available!

So I finally got around to getting some older pieces of mine done up and printed. These are a very short run of prints.. only 10 each and they are moving fast. Hope everyone enjoys!

Holidays

Hey all, just wanted to wish everyone a great holiday season! I just wanted to give a heads up that I will be unable to ship prints from 12/18 till after the new years. Just spending alot of time with family and I won't be hitting my email as often. After January though, I am going to have a bigger selection of prints available. I will definately post it on here when they are printed and ready to go!

We have launched! Pirate101 Early start has begun!

There is one great thing about working in this industry, and it is when years of hardwork payoff, into what is a shipped title, or in this case, your game going live. This morning, Pirate101 has officially launched! It's been an honor to work with some great people here at Kingsisle and I can only hope that it will be for many years more.

I started my own pirate this morning, playing the privateer class, so I hope to see and meet alot of people in my journey through this part of the spiral.

Like every launch, I have permission to release yet a few more piece. Since SO much has been released in the recent months, this release of work isn't quite so large. Enjoy!

One of the loadscreen's you will see many times ;)



Cool Ranch Concept for a cliffside dead end.



This piece is to be displayed on one of the King's walls in Monquista I believe. This piece was pretty amusing to do.



I don't post alot of these, but there are times when we need to concept out armor sets for the different worlds you run into. This one is a skull island themed Monquista set. We have to paint one for the boy and the girl when we design them



Old photo illustration for part of the clues to El Dorado.



All HAIL GORTEZ!!!



Part of the series for Mustang Sally.



I hope everyone has a a chance to check out Pirate101. It seriously has been the most entertaining project I've worked on since joining this industry. It deserves any success it gets.
