Seahorse Study 2

2010-07-14T09:23:00.002-04:00

These little guys have a very complex structure, and each are unique. But the more I draw them, the better feel I get for their anatomy.

Seahorse Study

2010-06-17T16:28:00.003-04:00

I've been reading up and doing studies of seahorses in preparation for a new book project. I'm looking at video, and lots of pictures in order to better understand their anatomy. Perhaps with more development this head shot can be used somewhere in the book.

Feathers And Bows

2010-05-27T18:21:00.003-04:00

Back at the Society of Illustrators for a Thursday Sketch Night. This was a 5 Minute warm up pose. While I cleaned it up a bit after the fact, I like the unfinished look.

2010-04-29T13:05:00.001-04:00

This model always comes up with good poses. Let's pretend that bottom foot is finished shall we? Great!

Mermaid

Sally sells sea shells by the sea shore. But if Sally sells sea shells by the sea shore then where are the sea shells Sally sells?

The Wetlands (detail 2)

2010-03-15T17:38:00.002-04:00

I'd still like to work on the reflection a bit more, but the addition of the fawn adds a lot to the storytelling element.

The Wetlands (detail 1)

2010-03-12T13:48:00.001-05:00

This is a big file because when I blow it up I want all the details to be present. Here's one of the stars of the painting.

The Wetlands

2010-03-09T18:19:00.004-05:00

Digital painting for a show at the Society of Illustrators titled: EARTH Fragile Planet. Still a little more I'd like to do, but theoretically I can keep adding details forever.

Did you know that over 75% of our nations wetlands are privately owned? Now you know.

Muscoot Muscat

2010-01-08T11:25:00.004-05:00

My friend Paul and his brother decided a few years ago to try making wine. Now three years later they are winning awards, and the wine is just awesome. But every wine bottle needs a label.

I sketched the Muscoot bar and restaurant last spring, and as a frequent visitor, and friend of the owner, Paul wanted to name his white wine after it.

Generations

2009-12-29T14:49:00.004-05:00

A friend of mine is starting his own painting and wallpaper business. He asked me to design a card for him. We incorporated the sketch I did of the Bedford Oak last spring into the design.
