Fun in the Sun
I finally found ten minutes of (relatively) uninterrupted time to lounge in the shade and sketch some summer fun. Here I drew my one son with his water squirter. He’s standing in the former turtle sandbox made water hole, placed beneath our slide. As you can imagine, the slide and splash action was quite fun. Continue reading

Yellow Eyes
Here is an ink drawing of a cat that is up for adoption with the ASPCA. A local nonprofit asked selected artists to create a portrait of an animal available for adoption. Whomever adopts this gray and white feline will also get a portrait of the same animal. Here I drew the cat in ink, Continue reading

Cat Eyes in Ballpoint (WIP)
I’ve been sort of into ballpoint pen art lately, and it’s sort of funny, but I remember the typical Bic being the go-to artist utensil all through grade school.

There’s a Member’s show coming up, and I desperately wanted something new to enter Continue reading

Old-school
Here is a painting that I unearthed from my college days, circa 2002. Done in acrylics on a paper called folio, this is my dorm room scene from the vantage point of my desk. I attended Pratt Institute, the first two years being at it’s satellite campus in Utica, NY. The first two years were Continue reading

Stacked (WIP)
Good morning! Started a little drawing this morning while fending off the kiddos. This was done in my moleskin sketchbook with Micron 03 black ink pen. The reference photo was from stockphotos.com. I’m not sure how I will finish it, either in all ink or with colored pencil? I’m actually surprised at how well it Continue reading
