more teeth, MORE TEETH!

A couple of items I just finished today. The fairy girl is in acrylic. I like drawing people with big teeth. I find much joy in it.

Sleeping models

Todays post is a lady I caught sleeping on the max while Catherine and I were riding home from Beaverton a couple weeks ago. I love it when people are snoozing, it makes it so much easier to draw them. Usually you have to look at people from the corner of your eye and hope that they do not confront you. Good times!

MORE!

First day of school again! That two week break was really really short.

DESIGNER POOCHES

Cutsey

Thought I would drop a few of the new things that I finished today. A Halloween themed pumpkin, a cutsey mermaid and fairy, and a self portrait. All done in colored pencil.

3 Eyed Goon

Some recent stuff.

JEREMY the WERECRAB

This is Jeremy and his a werecrab. Well, he kind of looks like a mix between a crab and a spider. But that is neither here nor there.

In his human form Jeremy is an anti-social man. He lives along the coastlines of Northern Oregon and Washington earning his wage as a clam digger. he sells his clam harvests to the local restaurants and cafes.

Jeremy chooses only the most deserted beaches to do his clam digging for fear that somebody might stumble upon his little family secret. During every slack tide Jeremy is painfully transformed into a half man, half crab beast and runs wild on the beach. Slack tide usually only lasts a couple of hours and then Jeremy finds himself lying groggily on the beach with little memory of the prior event.

Werecrabs have rarely ever been seen by people. If you ever run into one, you need not fear for your life, they are only about 10 inches tall. The worst that might happen if you get to close is the loss of a toe or two.

Leap of Faith

Well, it has been quite an eventful week. After 2.5 years managing apartments in Beaverton Oregon my wife and I have finally decided to throw in the towel and explore other options. It is quite an exciting time, after finishing the second half of our two weeks notice we will be moving downtown where Catherine will be working part time and I will be pursuing art full time. I am very excited and optimistic about it all.

Cheated

Thought I would toss up a few art cards today. Been working on a 3d version of the red devil guy that should be all finished up tonight. I will post him on the bog when the time is right.

little illustration

Thought I would post something other than art cards. Made this for an illustration class a couple terms ago. The topic was the crucible. After showing several ideas to the class this is the one that they all voted on. I should have some more goodness to post soon.

Some old stuff

Thought I would post some old stuff from my days studying graphic design at PSU. At the time I thought this was pretty hot stuff, now I look at it and cringe. It is funny how that is. This first one is a reproduction of a Botticielli painting that a recreated using illustrator and photoshop. The other three were for the same class and was done in illustrator. The subject is an apartment community that I managed a few years ago. Good times.

BOBERT #2

Bobert just can't keep his face out of the lime light. And so here he is again for the second time.

ALICIA

My latest little art card made with color pencil.

LOOPY LUCY

Yet another art card. Enjoy it for what it is.

BOBERT!

My good imaginary friend---->Bobert.

Sketch Book

A page from my dear friend Mr. Sketchbook. Occasionaly I get a visitor to my art blog so I thought that maybe I should update it with some some sort of art every once in a while.

VICTOR

Meet Victor. I have been trying to get some personal art done in between my many assignments this term. It is reaching the halfway mark and my class projects are not getting any smaller. I think I am keeping on top of everything much more efficiently then I ever have before so I should be able to find more and more time to work on some of my own stuff. Good times. I will post some of my class art work as well as it is completed. Good day.

Relax

Art Cards

Here are a couple of recent art cards.

Thadius

Happy time!

Finals week has just ended and I am feeling good. Still feeling a little tired from the past couple days of getting projects ready for the last day of the term, I went 51 hours with only 30 minutes of sleep, but it was all worth it in the end. Here is the celebratory 30 minute self portrait.

sledding

An illustration I did in January for my sister Denise. She wrote a story for the local paper about the crazy stunts we would pull with our sleds during the winter time in the small town we grew up in.

Buddy

Little illustration I did for one of my sisters short stories. It is about her english bull dog named buddy, and the slobbermites who party in his slobber keeping him from getting the love that he deserves.

Time

This is not a recent awareness I have come to, but just thought that I would say it again. There is just not enough time in the day. I missed my portraits for a few days but I made sure to make the time this afternoon to sit down and paint for a bit. My day just does not feel right without it. Also I am posting a few recent cards.

Sandro

A 30 minutes self portrait and a couple of pen and ink art cards.
