Happy Thanksgiving!
This face was too red so I had some fun toothbrush spattering it with green.

Maybe a weekly posting?

This is another little study I did awhile ago using cartoon color.
I just came back from seeing the J.W. Waterhouse show in Montreal CAN. Wow!! Super inspired and ready to do some serious artwork! That show will be there until Feb 7, 2010. Go if you can!

Wow, has it been that long? Ya know.. one thing or another (some crunch deadlines for work on Disney's A Christmas Carol, and a new puppy!). I just found a drawing I did a little while ago and I really needed to post something, so here you go. I'll try to post more soon.

Starting to think about fun on the beach. Yeah baby!

Some more digital fun. Spring is affecting my color palette!

Still messing around digitally ... but it's so dang fun!! Just a simple brush in PhotoShop.

Just having some sketching fun with a simple digital brush. Nothing fancy.

Just messing with some odd shading looks. Probably too hairy looking... back to the drawing board (happily).

Brrr... I'm getting a little influenced by the cold here in Connecticut

Some fun with light and color.

Angry Redhead

Not sure what this all means, but I was having fun with the color shifts.

Whoa.. been a long time. Been moving to CT and building a house. Starting to get a little art time again. This from a doodle on an envelope plus digital work. Have I lost all my fans?

I took an old pencil sketch from a figure drawing class and did a digital drawing over it. Well, it's got a lot of shapes I like in it.

an image that is in my volume 2 book as black & white. Just thought I would share it with you in color and tighter crop.

Sorry it's been so long... is there anybody out there?

digital practice

2006-12-01T18:48:00.000-08:00

I am going to paint her portrait this weekend and wanted to get familiar with her likeness. Working loose digitally is fast and easy to make changes, but my true love and enjoyment is still working with real paint!

Bond Girl, Eva Green

just saw the Bond film last night. You can see who inspired me!

2006-10-30T21:06:00.000-08:00

Sorry for the long delay, been messing with oil paints trying to get them to work. I've been painting en plein air and really enjoy it! I am doing many small studies (6x9") and will post any interesting ones. This one is not plein air, but any studio work I get in couldn't hurt! This is on that Canva-Paper by Canson. I love it.

Sunglasses 1

2006-11-09T12:01:00.000-08:00

I have always liked painting sunglasses. This mostly with a pallete knife. 7x10. Ooooo I'm having so much fun!

Amber Valletta oil sketch 6x8

2006-11-08T10:45:00.000-08:00

I wanted to try just a value study and I liked the mystery of her dark eyes. Yes, that is a feather I stuck on the painting while still wet. I really enjoy combining found objects that work with whatever I am creating at the moment.
