Quick Sketch

Just a quick sketch done at the very end of the day, yesterday. I just draw a few loose shapes on the page and then see what I can make of it. It's a nice way to cool down after a long day of making art.

Robot Sketch

Flying Chair

Notwithstanding Helen’s misgivings, Mackenzie was able to get Grandpa’s old chair working again.

Dog Sketch

Yesterday’s last sketch of the day.

On Dasher! Holiday Mug

I put a holiday coffee mug up on zazzle. Check it out it you need a place to hold your holiday coffee. On Dasher! Holiday Mug

The Elevator

Good Morning!

Promo Post Card

… And they’re off! My holiday promo post card is now wending it’s way through the mail.

Santa

Inspired by the season. It was time for me to do a portrait. What better face to paint than Santa?

The Skater

Cold weather makes me want to go skating.

Doodle

This is what happens when I doodle late at night...

On Dasher!

This is my new holiday coffee mug illustration. I’m starting a tradition of Holiday coffee mugs. This is Dasher, an overworked reindeer in desperate need of a respite from the holiday hubbub.

Cat Calamity On The Feline Beeline

This will be the color image on my soon to be printed promo post card.

Preliminary Sketch

This is a preliminary sketch for an upcoming promo mailing. I get such a kick out of composing pieces like this. It makes the hours I’ll spend painting it thoroughly entertaining.

Inktober

It was great fun participating in the #Inktober2016 Challenge! My enthusiasm for line drawing has been re-energized. I'll be doing more in the near future.

Inktober Dry-Run

This is my dry-run for Inktober. It’s been a while since I inked in the real world, I've been inking digitally for quite a while now. This’ll be fun!

Pirate

I wasn’t able to finish this piece yesterday because of more pressing deadlines. Which, of course, makes it tarrrrrdy.

Bow-tie-osaurus

The  sketch.

 The finished piece.

Giraffe Sketch

This is either a quick sketch between illustration assignments, or, a well conceived stalling technique.

Drawing

I took a little time out to draw something extraordinary... This is what happened.

The Artiste

My Goofy Dog Sketch

I began this sketch by blocking out the shape of a cat. But it wasn’t going anywhere till I turned it on its side, and saw the shape of this goofy dog. Well, I happen to like goofy dogs so I went with it. There's a lesson here somewhere…

The Grumpiest Boy In The World

As you can imagine, I had to channel my “inner-grump” to make this piece work, which, to my surprise, was much easier than I thought. In this story, the main character refers to his drawings as the basis for all of his adventures, like who hasn’t done that?
