Gold Painting

Just another in the series. This is on copper. A multi-tasking bird thing.

Forgive Me

Oh man please forgive me for this. If I ever got the chance to work on an animated movie there would have to be a wise pug in it. This one, having been abducted and probed previously, is prepared with a probe shield. I'm sure I will lose all of my serious clients for this. Oh wait, I don't have any serious clients. Let's just say I did this on a dare.

Real Events

Drawings for a little book I'm putting together. This is real stuff you know. I did a second one with color just for the hell of it. Which do you like? I do the color things as sort of an exercise for possible illustrations.

Me

I will probably regret this but I thought a studio shot or two might be in order. The man behind the curtain so to speak. This kind of takes the mystery out of things. Most people believe I have tats and take drugs. Neither is true but a tattoo would not be out of the question. I even offered one of my classes the opportunity to pay for a tattoo which I would get. We did a brief segment on tattoo art and they almost raised the dough. Never knew why it fizzled out.

Bird Bird

Startin' to like these. Maybe I should stop. If it's too fun it's not art right?

Just a Trim

I never know what will influence me. I've always enjoyed black greek pottery. The lighter images against that black background just pop. I also remember a beautiful piece of furniture with chinoiserie decoration. Beautiful gold against black. I've been wanting to do a series of paintings against black. Here is a start. A silly start but a start none the less.

Smart

These are great fun. They are not a bad way to get to know color a little better too. Paintings coming soon.

More Bear

Right now it's bears. Who knows what's next. I'm just having some fun with this mix of drawing and computer coloring thing. A little diversion from intense painting which I continue every day.

Bidding Live

The bidding is live for the Art Blocks for Ghana fundraiser. Go and buy some great artwork and support an even greater cause.

Another Color Thing

Just trying another color illustration thing. Having a different kind of fun while I paint.

Society of Illustrators 53 Invitation

I guess this is cool enough to post. One of my pieces was chosen for the Advertising/Institutional invitation of Society of Illustrators annual exhibition. It's always an honor to be noticed by them.

Sketch Bookin'

Been so busy with this show that I haven't posted sketchbook stuff in awhile. So here are a couple of pages.

Horn Envy

I Love Your Horn. A new painting on copper.

Color?

I've been trying some new color treatments of previous drawings. What do you think, original or new treatment?

The Joust

What the world has been waiting for. I kinda like the way this one turned out. Couple of process shots included at no cost.

I Haven't Stopped Painting

It's like visual diarrhea. As I paint, these ideas distract me and won't let me continue until they are actualized. It's a curse.

Man, Strange Mind Drawings

I can't control this. They keep coming out of me from some place that is hidden from my conscious mind. Don't ask me to stop because I can't.

It's Almost Here

I know, you just can't stand it.

Draw and Illustrate

I like to continue drawing and illustrating.

"Nother Painting Coming

Just another major masterpiece in the works. A little bigger so will take a few more days.
