Spitting Image

I will be a part of the upcoming Spitting Image group show at the Meanwhile in Grand Rapids. Here is the piece I made for that show.

And framed up:

I do love me a glossy black frame.

Here's a few choice cuts from the sketchbook that will be cleaned up and colored at a later date.

Royal Crown of the Sea Elves of Akrator

The elusive Røtüsk

It was only after finishing the drawing of this dude I saw
during the Grand Rapids Festival of the Arts, that I realized
it is an aged Bert.

Nyarlathotep revisited

I've decided I would tackle this fella digitally, since I haven't touched the oils version in so long (sorry Bill).

Power Down - Sketch On

We had quite the storm roll through this past weekend - over 12 inches of very wet and heavy snow overnight. There was mass power failure, and I had no heat or light at the house, so I went to a coffe shop and doodled. For 10+ hours. Twice. I thought I would share with you one of the spreads from that adventure.

Got m'self a red drawin' stick.

Working backwards

Just a quick and dirty portrait of a buddy of mine. Done in oils.

Attempts at Alla Prima

This triptych was created for my final project for my Illustration Life Drawing 4 class. Our only direction was that it be figural, so here it is:

(it's desktop size)

I wanted to try my hand at some alla prima painting (I have a class in it next semester, and want to have some experience going into it). It's a bit of a tribute to Phil Hale, and Ashley Wood; Enjoy.

I know, I know...

It's been a while. Sorry. Not that there are any of you who actually care, or that I have any real remorse over it, but still, I should be posting with better regularity. Anyway, here are some new images for you hungry beasts. Yes, they are made of delicious candy. Go ahead, lick the screen. I won't tell.
