A skilled skipper with pipe

daily sketch #18

I like the ultra thin bow ties.

daily sketch #17

A windy sideways glance

IF: Adapt

The goddess Athena was sure that Arachne would adapt very well to her new form.

This is actually a very small piece 5x5 that I did a while ago, but only finished completely yesterday. I like to work small.

daily sketch #16

Bob Martinsen, from accounting, pleased to meet you.

daily drawing #15

IF:Cracked

When the orb fell and cracked, a mystical being appeared from the remnants.

I consider this illustration to be quite a feat. Not because it's particularly attractive, or well composed or anything to do with aesthetics. It's amazing because the entire time whilst creating it, I had a 15 month old little girl trying to grab everything out of my hand and spoil my fun. HA! showed her.

daily sketch #14

Despite the effort of my little toddler, I was able to work on a sketch for more than five minutes today. I'm going to try to do a color version a little later.

daily sketch #13

A nearly jolly astronaut from my sketchbook.

daily sketch #12

Another digital experiment, I was playing with the artist brushes and seeing what they could do. Believe it or not the parting of the red sea was more or less an organic evolutions of my brush experiments.

daily sketch #11

Gangsters, flappers and speakeasies.

daily Sketch#10

Uh..yeah...

daily sketch #9

Yes, I realize this is a very "guy" entry. I've been doing alot of visual resarch for a story I want to do that involves cowboys, so today I drew 4 pages of 19th century firearms. Sorry I don't have anything more polished.

daily sketch #8

I've been experimenting a lot as of late, toying with different styles. I like so many different forms of illustration and art and comics. I'm trying to fuse many things, I'll see how it goes.

Daily sketch #7

I was in one of those enchanted forest creature moods.(I'm sure you know the feeling) Any who, this girl came to find her home nestled safely in my sketchbook.

daily sketch #6

I think he could have used some background, but i was spending way too much time with very little results. Oh well.

IF: Contagious and #5...

Zombies are very contagious, and some what unpredictable. It's best to always think three dimensionally when dealing with the undead.

This is acrylic and sharpie on wood panel. I made it for my wife's cousin. It's his Birthday and he's into this genre.

And...DAILY SKETCH #5

I don't know why, but I really liked the look of this chap when I conjured him from the ether in my sketchbook, thought I 'd share his large proboscis with you all.

daily sketch #4

Ah, the urban zombie in his natural environment.

daily sketch #3

Just another doodle.

daily sketch #2

I don't do a lot of digital work. I prefer the feel of pen to paper and the tactical nature of brush and paint. That being said digital is convenient. I quickly did this little doodle in a little under an hour. The good thing is that the color doesn't change because you have a crappy scanner that can't handle the visual spectrum.

Anyway, here's a snapshot from those delightful 70's year books.

Sketch-a-Day Keeps Lethargy Away ( daily sketch #1)

So I was mildly bemused my my friend Will's attempt to finish 1oo illustrations in 100 days. In a similar vein, whilst engage in my infinite perusal of illustrators and artists online, I encountered the blog of the very talented Thom Glick. He, and a small rable of willing doodlers are endeavoring to do a Sketch-a-day sort of marathon. Then I said to my self,
"Self, you draw every day, you can do this too!"
So I'm throwing in my lot, even though they started this thing way back in January. I'll just run with it and see where it takes me. So here's #1...

IF: Hierarchy

The tree of social hierarchy. I think it's self explanatory.
