September 2017 Brian lectured at at Indiana Weslyan University in Marion, Indiana in conjunction with a solo exhibition of 19 of his Stonehenge Series I, II, and III. In the fall of 2016 Brian served as a Visiting Artist at the University of North Texas in Denton, Texas. In the summer of 2015 Brian gave a public lecture and taught a five-day drawing workshop at Howard Community College in Columbia, MD. In the fall of 2014 Brian visited Hillsdale College where he lectured in conjunction with a solo exhibition of his Stonehenge paintings at the Daughtrey Gallery in the Sage Center for the Arts . Several months earlier he had fulfilled a lifelong dream of teaching a five day perceptual drawing workshop the Art Students League in NYC.

Throughout most of Brian's career his paintings have focused on psycho-mythological narratives that explore the transitional, tentative moments occuring between times of purposeful activity. In an age that is often categorized as being in a perpetual state of crisis he seeks, by monumentalizing the ordinary, to encourage the viewer concentrate on the richness and importance of direct human experience.

For the last seven years, however, Brian has worked on a series of Stonehenge paintings depicting the neolithic monument against colorful and dramatic skies. Selections from this series were exhibited at a variety of venues including the Lowe Art Museum, Apex Gallery of the South Dakota School of Mines and Technology in Rapid City South Dakota and at the Vandiver Gallery, The South Carolina School for the Arts at Anderson University, Anderson, South Carolina.

This coming spring Brian will be having the 3rd edition of his Introductory drawing text published. The 3rd edition will include two new chapters with over 100 extra master works, technical illustrations, and student drawings. Brian's first published his well reviewed (SGC) (FATE) introductory perceptual drawing text, Drawing from Observation with McGraw-Hill Higher Education in 2001. A second edition was published by McGraw-Hill in 2010 containing a new chapter on pictorial compositional dynamics along with 100 new student drawings, 93 new technical illustrations, and 25 new master work images. In 2021, in anticipation of third edition in 2023, Drawing from Observation 2e was reissued by Xanedu Publications of Ann Arbor, MI with improved production quality and a 38% lower retail price. All three editions are generously illustrated with UM student drawings from UM's ART 101 course. In early 2015 his book was translated into Portuguese and published out of Sao Paolo, Brazil. In 2006 DfO had been translated into Short-Form Chinese and published out of Singapore. All together the book has sold over 50,000 new copies.
