A quick color sketch between projects.

Quick Sketchbook Drawing

There's definitely something to be said for working in pen and ink. Drawings sort of take on a personality of their own.

The Morning Commute

This is another cool-down pen drawing done just for fun at the end of the work day.

Among The Clouds

I was stuck at the airport when I started this drawing then finished it a couple of days later in my dentist’s office waiting room — Art perseveres.

Warm-Up Sketch

This is a perfect example of what happens when a warm-up sketch goes way past the warming stage... I’m going to start warming  up color schemes next...

The Wizard

It's interesting how much energy the vignette treatment brought to this piece.

Late Night Sketch

Late night sketching in front of the TV after a very long and productive day.

The Takeoff!

Happy Monday!

Got a new sketchbook — It made me very happy...

Jump! On The Shelf

"Jump!" has recently been spotted on the shelf at Native Seeds.

Planning Stage

I'm beginning work on a series of  3 rooster paintings. I'll to do a color comp for each one even though I've got a pretty clear idea of where I want to go color wise. It's just a great way to explore all the options before putting brush to paper.

Ol' Tucker Coyote

This is a really good example of infusing paper texture into digital painting. In this case, watercolor paper. It really changes the look and feel of a painting done digitally. Gives it a more organic, or traditional watercolor look. Love it!

Jump!

Petroglyphs gallery in Tucson! Looks like "Jump!" has found another great place to land! 

Detail View

Here's a close-up detail of the paper texture from my new digital inking brush. I will get lots of use from this brush.

The Selfie

The Selfie. This morning’s ink drawing. I used a new digital inking brush recently made in photoshop specifically intended to mimic a hint of paper texture.
