I was planning on going to my last painting class today and spending the rest of the day outside sketching. Unfortunately, my appendix had other plans.
This sketchbook page gives you some clues to a subject besides art that interests me quite a bit. (Hint: I take my nutrition seriously.) I got a lot done yesterday, both on the art front and the chore front. You will see the fruits of my labor later on this week. Have a nice Monday […]
It was pouring rain when I drew this (from a window). It was getting into the evening and the light was dimming, when all of the sudden the rain stopped and the sun came out. Everything turned a sort of golden color for about five minutes, then it promptly started pouring again. It reminded me […]
I hope everyone is having both a relaxing and productive weekend. Continuing on with my pen and ink experiment, I sketched this yesterday while sitting in the backyard. The drawing is about 7 x 7 and I spent about forty minutes on it. I was trying to be looser and less rigid than I am […]
This is one of the windows in my house, with floor length sheers that blow in the breeze when the window is open. I just got back last night from spending some time visiting with my family. It was a nice time, although I didn’t spend any time drawing. I did however, get out onto […]

I can’t seem to decide what or how to draw things […]
I was so wiped out yesterday after work for some reason. I felt a little unstable, actually, but when I woke up this morning, everything seemed so much better in the world even though nothing had actually changed. Here are some links that I have come across in the past few weeks that I have […]
I get to see Katie once a week and I often try to draw her, with varied success. Usually she won’t stay in one position long enough for me to be able to get the sketch down, but I have been getting better the more I draw her. I had plenty of time on this particular […]
I had a chance to meet up with my friend’s roommate’s cat Tigre again last weekend while on a visit. I don’t know if you can tell in these sketches, but he is a very fat cat, and the name Tigre, while sophisticated, doesn’t really seem to fit in my view. My friend calls him “Fatty” and […]
I am working on a small zine made from one sheet of paper photocopied and folded into a six page booklet. My plan is to make these drawings after work and on days that I am more tired. After some time I will have enough drawings to make a couple of different editions. I had […]
