ANother Hero of mine....

This is my dear ol'Dad and he is truly one of my hero's. I know...I know...It sounds sappy but its all true! i love this man and I don't thank him enough for all that he has done for me in my life. When something great hapens in my life he is one of the first people I think about in the back of my head.

This drawing is dedicated to him and I hope you all like it. I did this in my sketchbook with a Pentel Ink brush pen.

Fun with websites!

These are two drawings I did for side projects for fun and because I was asked to contribute something. I had a lot of fun doing both and I believe I'm getting better at my Photoshop digital coloring skills as time goes by. I hope it shows!

The "Alien at a lemonade stand" was done for a friend of mine who asked me to contribute to doodlecollage website. Thanks Dave for the honor! You should check out the website and see the talented people who contribute to it as I was blown away by the talent and the offer to do a drawing was an awesome opportunity I wasn't about to pass up.

The "Giraffe ridding a tricycle" is a new blogventure I have started with my good friend Brett Brooks. Our idea is to show both how our particular styles are different but also simular in some ways. You be the judge!?! Here is our site: Schisms Art

Welp!!! Back to the Drawing board!

Hands

I realize it has been awhile since my last post but...to be honest I haven't been doing much artwork lately. I feel like I've been in a slump with my art lately. I still draw everyday but I haven't been too happy what I have done.

I think this image owes a lot to my frustration about my lack of good drawings as of late. These are my hands and they are to blame to some degree about my lack of good drawings. I really like how this image turned out and ironically I did this in my current self-made slump.

It's Been Awhile

I know it has been awhile for me to post but things for me have been really busy. If these sketches give any context on the way things have been for me....I believe you would believe me that things have been troublesome as of late.

Things are looking up though and rest assured I will continue to try and post more regularly...Trust me!?! I am excited to know what the future holds for me. Perhaps I will one day achieve my goal of getting paid to do what I love to which is DRAWING.

Heros

Here is a new image I have been working on lately of Superman and Batman as children. I was playing with opposited here by making Superman a skinny kid and making Batman a kid with acne who doesn't quite fit in his costume. I have been trying some different techniques in coloring this image and I hope it shows some improvement.

The Early Wake Up

This Post is dedicated to both Danielle and anyone who has ever felt the way she did at that moment. I too have felt (I KNOW can you believe it!...ME!?!) the cold sting of rejection many times over in my short existence in this world but I always manage to pull myself up and get back in the saddle.

This is a pretty much a personal glimpse into Danielle's and my life and I made sure to ask her permission to post this before I did. For the most part it was verbatim what we said to one another...I of course embellished slightly in the dialogue to add effect but I tried to keep the moment as was.

Thank you all for your comments and suggestions! Have a good one.

This is my sketch of an Aboriginal man which I drew while watching the film Proposition.

Well I'm off to go see the new Batman movie tomorrow out of town so I won't be posting tomorrow.
