In and Out Slippers

Example

My boss' kids started leaving me notes in my slippers (we're very casual at work). As a result I decided to transform them into IN and OUT slippers...

Recent Paintings!

Example

I recently subscribed to XM satellite radio. It's been great for my artistic productivity.

Most of these paintings are 30"x40" acrylic on canvas. With the exception of the two girls, those are 20"x24". If all goes well, I hope to set up an etsy.com account to start selling some of these.

Personally, I HATE CLOWNS! Although, seeing that most of my characters are far from happy I thought it might be fun to paint a depressed looking clown.

Danny Mansmith - One Amazing Artist

Example
One of my flickr buddies, Danny Mansmith, recently posted this image of one of his creations. I have to say, this is hands down one of my top five favorite artistic creations I've seen to date. The figure alone is cool enough but Danny's choice to add blossoms places him in the genius category. Anyway, Danny creates a lot of eclectic pieces. I encourage everyone to go check out his stuff. Even if you're not into eclectic stuff you'll most certainly find some inspiration among his pieces. Here's his link: http://scrap-dannymansmith.squarespace.com/

How to Draw a Pirate


On Friday I decided to leave work early, opting to go home and do some drawing. While I was at it, I figured I'd videotape the process. This is one of a handful of drawing segments I'll be posting.
