The Imagist & the Novice

 You might remember me mentioning that I am doing an article for an art gallery's blog. Click here to read the article, you might see these two images here, too.

I would like to thank:
Sharon Gerow, for her help in editing

Nina Cunningham, for her vital assistance

Josh Brewer, for helping me get this great opportunity.

Keep a sharp eye out....

Preview of Things to Come

The picture above is a caricature that I did for another blog of which I am posting various articles about illustrators that I admire, this coincides with the previous post here. I shall post the links to the posts up here when available.This painting was done with waterproof ink and watercolor paints.

Keep a sharp eye out for my next post.

Howard Carter's 138th

I found out that yesterday that it was Howard Carter's 138th Birthday on the 9th of May (yesterday, according to the post). I have always enjoyed Egyptology because I remember learning about it in school and it has intrigued me ever since. For those who don't know who Howard Carter is, here is a brief synopsis: Carter was an Egyptologist who was hired by Lord Carnarvon to a dig in Egypt. Carter was famed to be one of the first to find King Tutankhamun (or, the colloquialism of King Tut). I just thought that it was fun to paint this since Carter was the only one out of the expedition who wasn't effected by the Curse of King Tut, so what better way to memorialize the hero than a mummy.

Dog Days

These pictures were done when I was just killing time the other day. They were all drawn first with pencil and then outlined in waterproof ink and then painted over with watercolor paint.

This picture was kind of my favorite to draw out with his obnoxiously long ears. As you can tell, some of the green was still on the brush when I painted the eyebrows, my apologies.

Keep a sharp eye out for my next post.



A Somber Day Indeed

Summer & Statues

Although these pictures were taken last year, on a vacation to Connecticut (these are pictures of two different kinds of statues in Kent, Connecticut), I thought that these were pretty interesting pictures.

This is of a statue that is near an art museum in Kent, I believe. I particularly like the blooming hydrangea in the background.

These were a stone's throw away from the previous statue. The stone wall behind these statuesque figures (ah, wordplay) was particularly interesting.

Just thought that they were good pictures to start off summer. Perhaps I might even draw versions of them in the near future.

Until then, keep a sharp eye out for my next post.
