From his website:

He desires to make artwork that is faithful to tradition yet strikingly original, and vigorously medieval in spirit. He draws much of his inspiration from Gothic illuminated manuscripts, panel paintings, and tapestries. Most of his artwork is religious in subject.

Yes, he's amazing and not as well known as he should be.

My daughter is very fond of all things Japanese (her best friend and maid of honor at her wedding did a diplomatic program in Japan - if you teach English in a remote village for a certain number of years, you can earn a master's degree from a Japanese University. Her friend is of course fluent in Japanese. She said the coolest thing about it all is that if you take an advanced degree from a Japanese school, your academic robes are KIMONO!)

So I have given her several of his Japanese-print-style drawings and prints - St. Michael, the Wedding at Cana . . . I prefer his medieval-style illuminations, so have his Adoration of the Magi.

. . . note the salvation history summarized on the screens in the background of the wedding . . .

Here is one of his medieval-style illuminations - I have this one. There's a lot going on in the margins (which is so typical of medieval art. The borders are a commentary on the main scene):
