Happy Baby Arrival Time Soon Event!
Wednesday, August 25th, 2010
I’m really rather proud of this one. A friend from work is having a little boy in a little over a month, and today there was a shower for her. I heard the baby’s room was going to be pirate themed so I went with that. She seemed to really like it, and that made me very happy.
I knew when I was drawing the mermaid that I was defaulting to stereotypical Ariel colors… what I didn’t realize until later is that I pretty much drew Eric’s outfit as well. At least I made his hair different!

what i learned at school last year
Thursday, August 5th, 2010
Impossible to even tell what that is, I know. Well, it’s a gigantic dump (yum) of my school doodles from 2009. Less by way of doodles in 2010, so far, and the ones that exist tend to more abstract designs. If you click on through you can look at the original file, which is actually far too large and people will not bother scrolling around for all that noise. Unfortunately, I’ve been trying to compile the cursed thing for months now so I am ready to be past tense DONE. I will remark that when I started (Top Left) I was gung ho about being all inclusive, but as I tired of the chore, I started editing myself more appropriately. It’s like, guess what? I draw a lot of faces. I mean a LOT of faces. And some of them are boring. That is just the way of the world…

Happy Father’s Day!
Monday, June 21st, 2010
For my dad on Father’s Day. I drew the original several years ago, intending it at a Christmas gift. Put some quick colors on it to finally share. Hope all the dads out there had a good one! 
more paintings from last semester
Monday, May 31st, 2010Full size not safe for work, female nudity:
Detail:
The above painting is about 2ftX4ft.
This is on the back of the first painting from my last post. Smaller, I think it is 2ftx3ft? Need to measure!
About 4.5ft x 5ft.
This is six feet long and one foot tall, so difficult to thumbnail.
This is about 6ft x 4ft, roughly. Really big. Bigger than it looks here!
These were difficult to photograph and edit so that they looked reasonable, but these are acceptable approximations. So… anyone want to buy any large and somewhat strange paintings?

Wednesday, March 17th, 2010These are from my painting studio class. I’ve found this course a real struggle – but I think in the end, it will turn out to be a very worthwhile one.
What’s happening here? Well, I could get into a lengthy explanation about long defunct RPG characters, etc, but I think I shall spare everyone. It isn’t finished, but it got to the point where I felt finished working on it. Actually looking at the photograph is showing me exactly what needs be done, so that’s pretty cool. This isn’t a piece that I think is great but I loosened up some here in some ways, and pulled in some personal imagery.
This fella isn’t done yet, but it is getting there. I went into class today thinking I would paint over something I started for my dropped figure painting class. Unfortunately, when I got there and sized up the piece in question, I liked it too much even in it’s never-to-be-completed form to paint over it. So, I used the back of a small board I had experimented on with some iridescent acrylics (mice and cabbages, for those curious, but it wasn’t too much of a success). I picked a sketch that I particularly liked from my sketchbook with relatively similar dimensions, and off I went. Process:
[actually I love the composition of this much more, and the elephaunt's slightly more nervous expression, but I will still probably sleep easy tonight]
