Portraiture in Watercolor
I am super happy to post this painting. I was honored to complete this portrait for some friends of mine who commissioned the piece after seeing the Paintings for Presents that I posted. The concept to use their daughter as Max from “Where the Wild Things Roam,” was serendipity at it’s best. I’d been thinking…
Goggles Comic: Cover Up
Well, here is my work in progress. I was working ahead with the cover image when a conversation with the author provided me with some crucial character info that I missed in my reading of the story… baddaboom… big baddaboom.

The Return of Figure Drawing
I am so happy to say that the figure drawing sessions at CCA/ Illustration have resumed. One can never over value the power of drawing from life. In this particular instance I made three 20 minute drawings, submitted here for your perusal. The following image was cobbled together in photoshop, just to give a sense…
Dorothy: Then A Strange Thing Happened…
“Then a strange thing happened. The house whirled around two or three times and rose slowly through the air. Dorothy felt as if she were going up in a balloon.”
Dorothy, as she is
Well, the painting has been coming along, not quite fast enough for my liking, but it is still in progress. I wanted to just post up some images to show where she’s at before heading off for some much needed vacation {I am wound tighter than a Tin Man’s ticker} Watch for the thrilling conclusion…
