One more for ya...


Just couldn't let this fabulous day go by without another ghoulish blog entry on my favorite holiday. Originally, I had a fun little drawing for you kiddies: a two headed, inbred hilbilly playing a fiddle in a pumpkin patch. But some jackwad little monster fuck stole it right out of the room where it was being critiqued! You know who you are if you're reading this and may your guilty karma bless you with crippling gonorrhea.
Anyhoo, this piece is still fun and began as a test painting in gouache over the weekend to play with positive/negative space. It was great to bust out the brushes again and let the mind wander. Even if you completely suck at all things artistic I urge you to give it a try as it's a great form of meditation. The original piece was done using only black and white, but I sent'er into the digital world and added a few extras for your enjoyment. Until next year - Happy Halloween!!

Happy Halloween!


Quick n'dirty (just the way I like it). This little dancing bat was a figure study for a new drawing technique I'm trying out. Also was a good opportunity to play with some new effects in CS5 Photoshop too. Am working on a few more styles for a school advertisement project and will definitely post those once they're done. With so much work sadly there's not a lot of time for anything else, but was glad to sit down last night and just let the pencil run for a change with minimal thought and reaction. Quick stuff like this really helps the creativity stay sharp.
