Happy Thanksgiving


Yep you guessed it! It's me dressed as a turkey. This little ditty of a drawing was done for fun and made for my Facebook profile. If you notice the drawing has some texture which was achieved by drawing this piece on newsprint.

I hope all of you have a wonderful Thanksgiving!

2 For the Price of 1



Here for you viewing pleasure are two more of my many sketchbook drawings. Speaking of which I just finished this sketchbook in record time! I hope I will have another sketchbook done by the end of the year which would be a personal best for me.

The tree was done right outside of the 180 building in Savannah Georgia and has been a personal favorite foliage of sometime now. I sketched it in ink and then watercolored it. This was my attempt at being a little loose with the watercolor. I don't know...You tell me if I succeeded.

This fine little comic strip was done with my trusty ol'brush pen. I like being a little unconventional with my layout and I think this piece was a success.

More to come my blog viewing friends!

The Raven Nevermore...

This particular image is just something I did for fun. I was messing around with a brush pen and I wanted to draw a bird so...Bing-bada-boom! I get this image.

Oh the Animals will play!


This fine image I will hopefully be using as my mailer for getting commissions and illustration jobs in the near future. The theme for this particular drawing is animals in children books. Each animal from left to right: The Snake from the Jungle, The Ugly Duckling, Big Bad Wolf, The Walrus and the Oysters from Alice in Wonderland and Filnally the Three Pigs.

Its amazing what can happen when you put your pen to paper and after some time look to find a beautiful image has come about. I had no real idea on what I was going to do and it just came together in the end. I started with the Ugly Duckling and the other animals just fell into place.

Scary and Stuff


I was thinking about the things that scare me or just plain creep me out for one reason or another and I decided to make an image of it. This drawing encompasses some of the things that are scary to me. (From right to left) Clowns...Come on! They're freaky! Whats the deal with all the make-up!?! No should be that happy ever. Someone with snot a gunk coming from their nose...Its just GROSS. The scary doctor with a needle and a scalpel...Nuff said. the fat women with fat hanging off of her arms...That is just Gross! The person whose breath always stinks of onions or other smelly things.

Mom's Turn!


This fine lady is my mother who I feel bad about not mentioning or drawing in my earlier post about my dad. This a complete watercolor sketch without any pencil or pen under-sketch which is the first time I have done something like this before. I'm pleased with the art piece as I feel it has a lot of movement to it.

Many People

This is something I did when my frame of mind was a little on the dark =side...perhaps I was feeling depressed about something!?! To be honest I don't remember. I know I wanted to draw someone with their hand in front of their face so why not draw more than one person with their hand's in front of their face.

It turned out to be a nice experience and I always love trying new and fun ways to draw stuff. Oh also...did some Photshop experimentation on the drawing.
