I put my cat Orson in all of my paintings, sometimes hard to find, sometimes easy. Here are a few more examples. I write about it at length in my Substack section.

I did flipbooks for all of the Animorphs covers, but they appeared in black and white and very small, so I am posting them here so you can see them large and in color. You can buy a signed print of this cover here:

I would always do a finished line drawing to guide me through the painting process. This is your chance to see the early part of the creative process of an artist. Preliminary line art for finished paintings by artist David Mattingly.

I have been using an AI video generator to bring some of my paintings to life. Each sequence is my original painting with additional motion added. I have prints of all of my painting available on my web site here:

Here is a nice interview with me on the "Animorphs 55" podcast. I am sorry to say I made a major mistake right at the beginning of the interview. I mixed up Animorphs 3 and 4.
3 was the first cover I did, of Tobias turning into the hawk.

Animorphs 5 was the only cover that I was asked to redo. The original cover had Marco morphing into a gorilla. I redid it with him morphing into a lobster. This is the first time I have ever posted the full flipbook. You can buy a signed print here:
