Owls and Squirrels

I've taken to going over to the park, perching in my favorite spot along the side of the railroad bridge where I won't be bothered, and doodling in my sketchbook. The park is currently over run with squirrels getting ready for winter, so I sketched a few. I didn't see any owls but I drew some for fun anyway. They look like they want to eat the squirrels.

 

Figure drawings from the ASIFA life drawing nights at SVA.

sepia self portrait

Self portrait, should do more of these, they are a good exercise. Done in Photoshop with a mirror on my desk for reference. Weird for me to do something like this digital but I thought I'd give it a shot. 

strung up

I felt that I needed to do some original work. That bug in my head telling me I could be better than I am was screaming today. So, I picked up my brushes and... this happened. I am being entirely honest when I say I did not set out to paint something this morbid. It just sort of evolved out of my ever present love of all things figure drawing and some referencing of my gestures. My mind is going to strange places lately. I suppose this is just a manifestation.

Some figure drawings

Some drawings from the ASIFA gesture sessions at SVA. Top were from last night, bottom were from a few weeks ago. I was messing around with a little abstraction, trying to achieve greater fluidity.

Encylcopedia Humania entry 01: The Hipster (female)

The beginning of a personal project. I want to make a humorous 'scientific journal' of various 'species' humans. This is a hipster female. Native to Williamsburg brooklyn. Diet consists of wheat grass, expensive vegan muffins, cigarettes, and organic fair trade coffee served by a person with a facial piercing and asymmetrical haircut.

Welcome to my new professional blog

Well, I've finally joined the blogs! I started by posting a sampling of my favorite pieces from the last 3 years. I may add a few more old works, but from here on its going to be mostly new stuff on the blog and just things I feel pretty good about. I have a few pieces of fan-art in the collection I've posted so far, but for the most part its original characters and designs. I'd like to try to keep it that way for this blog.
