Some finished-ish work



Finished piece about gay marriage in Maine



This was an old drawing I did in life drawing that I started to digitize the other day. I've got a lot of tones roughed in, but there's a lot of work yet to be done ie. smoothing out her steroid induced abs.



I did my first all digital editorial cartoon. Yay for me for spending over an hour on something that would have taken me 5 minutes with a pen.



And finally a digital sketch of the lovely Sarah Palin.

Sketcheroo!

Here's a few sketches.



Just a caricature sketch of Melissa. I think I caught a little bit of a likeness, but I'm far from pleased with it. If she'll be patient enough, I'll give it another try sometime.





Sketches from open life drawing



This is a work in progress illustration in about Maine repealing it's gay marriage laws. What a bummer. This one is in pen and ink and watercolor.

Sketches: Al Gore and Luggage Thief



Here's a couple of sketches. The top one is of a man that was arrested for stealing luggage from the Sky Harbor International Airport in Phoenix. After the police raided his home, over 1000 bags of luggage were found. Here's an article about it. Its pretty funny. Below that is a drawing of Al Gore. I've never really been a fan of him. He's kind of a money grubbing eco-whore. I think all of his investments in green technologies and other earth friendly stuff is great, but when he reaps massive profits from such companies, it really begs the question if his heart is in the right place. He's been lobbying for government support in green technologies, those that he's invested in, and thusly stands to make a substantial amount of money.

Digital Painting!




For my painting class, we have to do a short paint sketch every day. They only have to be about 5"x7", so they really shouldn't take more than 30 minutes or so. I decided I wanted to get better using my Wacom, so the last few sketches I've been doing are all digital. I think I'm finally getting used to it a little bit.

Digital Sketch



Here's a sketch of balloon boy Falcon Heene. Hoax or not, I find the story to be ridiculously hilarious.

Sketch dump!




Here's a couple doodles. I've got a lot more from this semester that haven't been scanned in yet. The first, of course is Alfred Hitchcock. He's got a great face, and I think I'll try taking another stab at him sometime. The other sketches are some memory sketches of skulls. I think I'm starting to get the hang of drawing them from memory somewhat convincingly. (after drawing millions of them from skull models, you'd think eventually I could do it from memory)
