Me figuring out my inventory for tabling at a local gallery hop this Friday:


For anyone curious, my space will be at the Blue Cat Brew Pub in downtown Rock Island. The hop goes on from 5pm to 9pm, December 3rd.

a quick shot of a little progress on the Lil Charlie print I'm making.

Also, I've had this putty forever, so I think I'll experiment a lil bit with some stop motion in the near future.

Charlie print under-painting

This is a stage where I'm avoiding any final decisions. Next I will start really laying in any dark areas.

In Progress

A bunch of stages working on a personal chalk pastel piece.

hey there

It's been a bit, and most of what I'm working on I'm not allowed to show... but, I have a personal project for the holidays that I can update with.

First post, stage one: Under-drawing



This is a pencil drawing on Reeves (or Rives... no idea how to spell the paper I'm using) that has been sealed with an acrylic pastel ground. Why you might ask? Because I love chalk pastels and never get a chance to break them out, hence using them on the personal project.

couple more sketches

sketching with mixed media today. trying to get into the swing of things with traditional materials again, so I can start designing some prints for next con season.
