RHYMES WITH SELF-DEPRECATION

Although I do like digital, I  miss the quality painting produces.

I will write more about this and another extremely poignant piece from the Creator's Project in DUMBO today after work.

Exhilarating march from SoHo to Times Square today!!! Illustrations to follow

A little late, I started it this morning, but I had to leave for work:

Watercolor, ink

B/w sketch

Caricature film

One of the artists' blogs I follow, Peter de Seve recently posted this short film by caricature artist John Kascht.



It's a little dry, but great to see the dedication to his subjects and his craft. Also the way he handles his materials is incredible. Take a peek.

So I went digital for this guy. The gouache one wasn't looking so hot. And now with a few adjustments I can make some tee-shirts for you Jeffy! This would've been a lot easier if I had a tablet. Soon?

I honestly can tell if it's completely stupid or not.

I've got a big project (one of many constantly flowing around my mind that never get done) in the works.  Something like a full length graphic novel? Intimidating, invigorating. I'm still in the zygote phase of this project. It includes a lot of reading, writing and drawing. Would take at least a year. AT LEAST. Anywho, now I have to get started on the final drawing for B Smiff's drawing and do more drawings for the bosses website. When I'm not being so lazy, I'm so busy!

Piece.

Everyone loves doggies

Being a dog walker is awesome. I get to hang out with dogs and puppies AND I get to draw them.

I like the composition of the thumbs better, but I did the final at the wrong proportion cause I'm a dumbass, so. .

Illustration Friday-Perennial

Perennial, 4.5"x7" watercolor, graphite, pen/ink, digital.

I sadly had to look up what kind of plants were perennial. I saw two plants that remind me of one thing: home, California. They are the California poppy and avocados. I always miss the spirit of CA in the summertime, there's nothing like it.

Some process shots

I hope everyone's enjoying their summer!
