Some holiday cheer.

 

Holiday follies.

 



 

 

 

 

This was Burlesque...

 



 

 

Happy Father's Day, no matter how many dads you have.

 

 

 

A relic from summer.

 

New stuff because my imaginary friends all showed up at once and wanted to play with me.

Tonight's topic is benchmarks. Below is a drawing I did in 2010 when I was first starting to get back into something I had enjoyed when I was a kid, but had stopped doing. I almost hesitate to post this, but it is a good baseline on where I was at the time.

I will spare everyone the versions from 2012, but here is the 2013 version.

I realize I have a ways to go, but at least I'm making progress. Maybe it'll be an oil painting by 2020.

Also from 2013, the same two gentlemen, armed.

 

 

Tune in next time when everyone stops standing around posing and actually starts talking to each other.

In a fighting mood

Studies for Vi St. James

Experiments with Copics and colored pencils. Because if you can't experiment on yourself, who can you experiment on?

Happy St. Patrick's Day.

A bit sketchy the morning after.

Welcome to my inaugural blog. We begin with some seasonal art.

 



The Black Widow's Opinion of Valentine's Day

 

That was some Mardi Gras. I woke up on Bourbon Street in just a mask and these beads.

 

 

In which Cupid is more heavily armed than first thought.
