Is this feeling redundant? (click to view image with flickr) I got the chance to clean up this poster before turning it in. I darkened the shadows and glazed with blue to unify the whole image. I think the result is a bolder more readable image.

Progress on T.G.W.A.P.E. (click to view image with flickr) Ok here is another update on the progress of my Vermeer study. It's hard to imitate an oil painting with acrylics but I'm learning allot. Is this interesting... to anyone... seeing the progress of this piece? | |||||

The more things change... (click to view image with flickr) The goal here was to make a triptych with three different time frames taking place across the three images. The statue falls while the child grows and the woman remains the same. I was thinking about the mothers in Iraq when I painted these pieces. | |||||

painting of a portrait of a girl with a pearl earing (click to view image with flickr) I hope Vermeer doesn't know anything about intellectual property laws... I realized that, as I have been working on more complicated artwork I haven't been able to post as often. So I thought I might record and post some of the steps along the way... this way y'all can get an idea of the process I use to get to the final product. This image is the first stage of a study of Vermeer's "The girl with a pearl earring. This is also my first experiment with Flickr, so we'll see how it goes. Flickr is an image sharing network that Ernie talked me into. It looks like it has some really nice features like allowing you to view my images at various sizes, leave comments, and... well a bunch of stuff. I'll give you more info when I figure it all out... anyway I'll be posting through Flickr for a while so the thumbnails on this page will be a little smaller. (It's a limitation of their service.) Let me know what you think of the features at Flickr as well as this whole posting steps in the process idea. | |||||

 click image to view at full size (various media) I bet I got your attention with that title! Those of you who visit this site regularly may recognize all the images in this piece as drawings I've done before... that's because they are. The idea was to take drawings I've already done and put them together in a comic page style layout and see if I could tell a story. Of course being a comic book style story it had to be about sex and/or violence, right? Anyway it was a fun project and it has received a surprisingly good response so far. | |||||

 click image to view at full size (ink & watercolor) This is just a quick drawing... ok ... the design and layout took a long time! I'm not used to drawing monsters... so designing him was more difficult than I anticipated. I'm also trying to work on placing my characters in an environment. I didn't have any good reference for a movie theater lobby so working out all the perspective was a good exercise. Anyway... the scene was inspired by a recurring dream I had when I was a kid. It involve me hiding out in a movie theater and peeking out into the lobby to see this giant white werewolf searching for me in groups of kids. He was parting them as if he were looking through the bushes. The funny thing was, no one else seemed to notice him, even as he was pushing them aside. Don't worry... at the end of the dream I always escape by disguising myself as another kid from my school and sneaking out the door. | |||||

 click image to view at full size (collage) This is just a collage of classic paintings. I was just thinking of my visit to the Louvre in Paris. There is always this huge crowd of people gawking at the Mona Lisa. I was also thinking about the idea that classic art was always composed from the "male perspective". | |||||
