{Updates}

David Apatoff, the author of Illustration Art, has featured my work on his blog. It is quite an honor, and the words of my friends and supporters are appreciated and moving. Follow this link to read his writing: Illustration Art

I have also been featured on booooooom, LOUDreams, and illustration mundo as an editor's choice. Thank you for the inclusion!
I have completed a commission for a publisher in Europe who is compiling an anthology on Stanley Kubrick. My final image is entitled Monolith, and it is meant to accompany Full Metal Jacket. Artistic inspirations on this one are coming from Picasso's Guernica, Gary Kelley's Mars, The Bringer of War (d'apres Picass0), and George Pratt.

This image goes beyond what I usually consider tasteful, but it does represent war, after all. Secondly, considering the graphic novel media, and the fact that one must seek out this work, I felt that I had more flexibility with what I decided to show.

{UPDATES}

I have sold the original illustrations for The Pearl Fishers, created for the Lyric Opera of Kansas City, and the David Blanchflower illustration commissioned by Dartmouth College.

Original Prints of "Herd" and "Bookplate:Sterling Hundley" are for sale in the Purchase section of my website.

New illustration and story for the Departure page of Virginia Living Magazine

George Rogers Clark
for Virginia Living Magzine
By: Sterling Hundley 

Great battles are remembered for the spoils gained, and by the souls lost. Perhaps that is why George Rogers Clark lives in the historic shadow of his younger brother, the much celebrated William Clark, of the Lewis and Clark expedition fame.
Beginning in May of 1778, Virginia-born General George Rogers Clark led roughly 175 Virginia militiamen through the Northwest territory on one of the most successful campaigns of the Revolutionary War. Clark’s poorly funded and under trained militia conquered the British held posts of Kaskaskia, Sackville and Vincennes, convinced many of the hostile, British armed Indian tribes to transfer their support to the Americans, and served as the catalyst of the 1783 Treaty of Paris which nearly doubled the size of the thirteen original colonies- all without the loss of a single soldier under his command. 
Textbooks may champion younger brother William for returning with the spoils of exploration, but families should honor older brother George for returning home with the lives of our forefathers.

{UPDATES}

I have created two images for the group show entitled "Ex Libris" that I will be taking part in. Ex Libris translates to "In the Library of...", and is a show of book plates.

I pulled four limited edition prints from each of the images, and I will be offering them for sale in the "purchase" section of my website, later this week.

School is back in session at VCU.

I have painted like a madman over the break. I have many failed attempts, and some progress in my painting. I will share details from these pieces when they are further along.
