Rocky Mountain Bighorn Sheep

Daniel Baxter April 5, 2024

Metaphorically speaking, I was digging in Colorado, and unearthed this Rocky Mountain Bighorn Sheep. No doubt, these majestic creatures are tough enough to survive in the most rugged conditions. They're a perfect symbol for this iconic mountain range. This is part of a series called World Tour - in which I use pages from an old atlas as canvases - painting images relating to the place on each map.


Signed prints of this piece are available here, in my Etsy shop.

The Wolf Man

Daniel Baxter September 30, 2019

On a recent visit to my local recycling center, I came across a mysterious book, Esoteric Astrology, which was published in 1913. It was filled with strange diagrams, as well as astrological charts of notable people. This portrait of the Wolf Man was sparked by a lunar consciousness chart.

Here's a small study of singer/songwriter, Kasey Musgraves. This drawing of one of my favorite country artists was inspired by her song, Butterflies. No doubt, when I listen to her music, I get butterflies!

Amy Winehouse

Daniel Baxter February 27, 2019

Heres a portrait of the brilliant singer/songwriter, Amy Winehouse, in which I utilized makeup brushes to create depth. So many iconic singers have tragically died at 27 years of age, including Jimi Hendrix, Janis Joplin, Kurt Cobain, Jim Morrison and Brian Jones. Sadly, Amy joined that club in 2011. I drew this tribute on a map of her hometown, London. Signed prints are available here!

Bengal hearts beat within a Tiger economy, as moms with balms practice Tiger astrology.

These beautiful creatures play a significant role in many Asian cultures, as a physical, metaphorical and spiritual presence. Signed prints are available here!

Spaghetti Western

Daniel Baxter February 28, 2018

You effortlessly traverse the topography of both tumbleweeds and Tinseltown. How ironic to give a face to the American West, when your name is Clint Eastwood.
