I wanted to just post up a page from my sketchbook. Recently I’ve been coming back to drawing and painting just for the fun of it. I am still working on the Wizard of Oz piece which has a more serious side to it. For reasons of my own sanity I’ve come back to drawing… Continue Reading
Ok, fun only begins to describe this project. Originally I was contacted by a really great company, Shinteki, who do games and puzzles for corporations as well as private events. Defiantly check out their website, it’s amazing! So their latest challenge involved creating several faux comic book covers, that’s where I come in. The puzzle… Continue Reading
This newest project is turning out to be quite a lot of fun. Recently I was approached by a company (who’s name will be revealed at a later post) to do some faux comic book covers. They had a series of seven specific characters in mind from the start and have given me a rough… Continue Reading
Well, all good things must come to an end, and what an end it was. My post is two weeks after the fact, but the final drawing session was another one that amazed me. For what ever reason, there are some days when we feel like we couldn’t write our name well, and then there’s… Continue Reading

In an endeavor to keep on growing I’ve also taken this into Photoshop for some minor adjustments. Can you spot them before you read on? After living with the painting… Continue Reading

That is Art as a verb. The following drawings are, to me, more about my experience at that… Continue Reading
This could very well be the end for this painting. It’s been really great blogging this, in that I was able to reflect on all the choices that brought it here. A big thanks goes out to Randy, Jenny, and Paris, for their critical eyes. Sometimes we get by with a little help from our… Continue Reading
Today will be a succinct post. These are just some more of the Troll Painting as it evolves. The actual painting right now is coming right along. I am finding that zone of love of painting as it comes to life on the page. For those of you following at home. I’ve done some color… Continue Reading
Somewhere in the caverns of my mind I realized that I could photo-journal this while I was making it. It turns out to be quite interesting to me. Far too often is a painting finished and one has to just remember how it got there. With this new “computer-magic”, well, we can all go along… Continue Reading
The burned out light bulb. As an image it says a lot. Today has been a two steps back day for this painting. Although not a total failure, but certainly enough to want to set fire to something. Let’s start with the paper. Oh, my lovely Strathmore 500 why have your forsaken me. After making… Continue Reading
