More sketchbooks posted

on my sketchbook blog archive
I'm finally catching up to the present! 3 more to go, probably by early June.

Rest in Peace, Uncle Larry

My uncle passed away on Wednesday after a very long battle with cancer. He was a great guy and I'm really sad he's gone, but relieved his suffering is over. I still have the art supplies he gave me when I was little, I think from a drafting course he took in college...mechanical pencils, a t-square, a compass, right angles....he was always really supportive and funny. Uncle Larry died in his sleep with a smile on his face. His obituary is online here
We all miss you, Uncle Larry.

Happy almost-Spring, everybody! And hello from Coraline, the green-cheeked conure that Devilicia brought home:

So I've been working hard on images for a new portfolio site that'll be coming soon. My style is changing, and the new focus will be on narrative-based art, especially children's books and comics. In the meantime, I've updated my Dog-art site, my Spooky-art site, and posted more sketchbooks online. Going through the sketchbooks has been really fun for me....finding stuff I'd totally forgotten about, and realizing how much I miss JUST DRAWING, especially with the eyedropper tool. A few years ago I decided to focus on acrylic painting almost exclusively, and it's time to get back into mixed media where the drawings really come through again.

Skool picture

I did this demo in my Black & White Illustration class for making pictures with the eyedropper tool, white gouache, and blotting with cheap paper towels. I'd been thinking about the Autumn day Devilicia shot photos of me with Frankensteiny and Mr. Giles back in Rhode Island:

Autumn 2008 was too short and Winter 2008-2009 has already gone on way too long.

digital color

I've been experimenting with Photoshop this week, adding color to brush and ink drawings for my new freelance portfolio. This one's a redrawn Phoenix assignment about the IRS from a while ago, and I like it a lot better than the original black-and-white version.
