A Dark Period (My Psychotic Break) pt 1
My art has always been on the darker side, but 2020 has been the year that I really noticed a change in my work. This hasn't been an artistically productive year for me. This has probably been my worst

Prototypes. A Tale of Wire and Srring
During the start of the new year I began dabbling in sculpture. I have a very talented photographer friend. Him and I are in to the same aesthetic, so I proposed a collaboration. I came up with a few sketches

Sketchbook #3
A couple years ago I never would have considered myself a painter. I spent all my free time with a pencil and pen letting my imagination run free. I've found that drawing randomly, much like free writing

Odyssey, The Beginning Of A New Chapter
This will be my last painting for a while. My last piece of watercolor paper is now gone and the wildfires will be starting soon in my area. I feel that it's time I take a step back and meditate on my

Iron Giant Vibes
Whenever I have some sort of art block, going back to charcoal always seems to get things flowing again . This is one in a series of 5-10 minute quick charcoal drawings. They all felt very explosive. I

Anatomy Studies
I've been really interested in the artist Frank Frazetta recently. Looking at some of his comic work and book covers inspired me to attempt to emulate his style. If you aren't familiar with Frank Frazetta,

The Blitz
The Blitz, my most recent 11x15 watercolor. Completed right before I ran out of watercolor paper. Since I have been more open about posting my sketches lately I thought I would include the original sketch.

Sketchbook #2
Another sketchbook post for the day. Planning out a few paintings for the next time I can afford supplies. I like to figure out my compositions while sketching. Working small lets be create variants quickly,

Doodles of the Day
Today I thought I would try something a little different and post a couple pages from my sketchbook. Almost all of my paintings start out here, in ink or pencil. My paintings have become so deliberate

The Ladder
Sometimes I find that one medium just isn't enough. They all have their strengths, but I haven't found anything that can match the subtlety and forgiveness of charcoal. I once had an instructor say that

Sometimes, when I don't know what to paint I will begin with the border. The creation of the border is a mostly mechanical process. It will take some time to construct, so it doesn't matter that I don't

Gun Horse
Sometimes you just gotta have some fun, and one of my favorite things is making concept art for comic books i'll never get around to making. I've been on somewhat of a Frank Frazetta binge as of late and

Kingdom Come
As much as I don't like to think about it, religion has influenced my art immensely. I learned to draw in church. I started at an early age. Apparently it was the only way I could sit through a sermon

Back into the swing
Once again, It's been a while. I've gone through two or three cycles of art block since my last regular spurt of posts on here. I have amassed a decent sized pile of charcoal drawings, and watercolors

The Running Bull
What is it running from? I've never been able to understand, or make definitive statements about my own art. Other peoples interpretations are much more interesting to me. Steem on!

Three Horses
I have a big stack of drawings and painting that I need to post. I burnt myself out on watercolors for a while. Lately, charcoal is the only medium I can commit to. My style has changed a bit since my

I think my paintings have been too blue lately. I decided to introduce some warm colors this time. I think I've hit something of a roadblock this week while painting. There comes a time about once a year

Unsettled
It was a productive weekend of painting. I cant seem to get this ocean theme out of my head. Maybe I just need to paint the right ocean before I can finally get over it. I started like I always do. With
