Shakin’ It Up
Thought I’d try something different for a change. I know, I know, I often say I’m going to change my artwork, do one different picture, then back to the same old stuff. So, I’m just going to, as I wrote, try. So, I finally did do a version of the small airplane that I like. […]

Hurray! I Got Rejected!
I finally bit the bullet, and sent out an application to a gallery. I got a polite note back, saying my work was not a fit for the gallery. Also, the note said, that my information would be kept on file, in case there was a change. (Yeah, right?) So, why “Hurray!”? I’m celebrating that […]

Rather than bore you with repetitive pictures of the progress, I thought I’d post something I’ve shown no one, until now. A few years back I was totally stuck. My representational art was coming out less than awesome. […]

Mother……..ing, son of a …….
I’ve started the sketch of “Scraggly Weed”. This is the 5×7 version, and the wall, of course is all off. It will be corrected in the final version. What I do have to do to make the butterflies stand out, is what is called “negative drawing”. You do the front first, and work around that […]
