Scratchboard - DONE

So after totally procrastinating on this one, it's finally done. I really like how it came out. I'm working on finishing up another one tomorrow.

Flyer Fun

I did a flyer for some friends. I really like how it came out. I like the black and white best, but it's kind of my thing.






Go to the show too. It'll be good.
Over and out.

My Life in sketches: Lake Anna + Scratchboard

So, I've been super busy. It's good because I have a new job and bad because I have less time to work on my art.

First things first. Labor Day weekend at Lake Anna. Roasted pig, so interesting I had to draw it. It's skin was all leathery and blood was dripping into the fire pit. Creepy and cool all at the same time.



I got some more work done with my new board. It's been put on the back burner while I get situated into this new job. I'm hoping to finish it soon, I'd like to enter it in some things. Let's hope it comes out well and that it's willing to cooperate with me.



That's all for now. More soon. A new board is in the works, it's an update of an older piece. This time with better reference! Over and out, space cadets!

Holy Crap New Scratchboard - WIP

Started a new board. Bride of Frankenstein. You know how we roll. Anyway, got as much done as I could tonight (started at 8:30pm), hoping to finish tomorrow. Slight adjustment to the background, and I need to figure out how to make metal. Totally not the best photos, but my scanner is slightly too small and all the scans come out blurry.







It's a little blurry but here is a pretty good detail shot of what I have so far.



More My Life in Sketches tomorrow plus a hopefully finished board. w00t.

My Life in sketches: Florida

Went down to Florida for a week and a half with Nick and Kish, we stayed with Nick's uncle Otto in Clearwater, Fl. Pretty neat. Swam in the gulf for the first time and snorkeled for the first time. Saw some dolphins and some manatees, one of which effectively translated popped out of the water with an "oh, hai!" Anyway, good times mostly had by all except for a few strange incidents involving burglars, bugs, rogue sprinklers, Clue: Harry Potter edition, one sassy, foul mouthed 11 year old and much needed jack n' cokes.

Drawn while sitting and watching the sun set on Clearwater Beach.



Night fishing off a pier in Clearwater Beach. Nick caught 1 salt water cat and I caught a puny pinfish.




An amalgamation/time lapse of things I saw on the water after I came in from fishing on Honeymoon Island.




Chilling out after catching 5 salt water catfish with my rod leaned against one of the beach chairs. Otto leaned his there too which he cut more bait.



Gestural sketches of Nick and Otto trying to get a snagged line to release.



Over all a very productive at relaxing trip. Back to the real world. Over and out, space cadets!

Art Behind The Banner...

So I totally need a better scanner. Anyway, got bored, made this and turned it into the blog banner. Sounds fun right. It was!

My Life in Sketches: DC United

My friend Nick on the train heading to the DC United Game. We won.



Going to Florida for a week, hopefully I'll get a ton of sketches done of awesome stuff like sand sculptures or manatees.
