Here are the pics of the recycled paper dress from before. I fixed a few things that ripped and added some details. This dress is now showing in Cambridge, NY at the Valley Artisans Market until the end of April. Continue reading

Still Life Sketch
So if you want to get technical, this COULD qualify for part of my 365 portraits challenge to myself. (It could, honest!). This is really a still life though of my sketchbook on top of a fitness magazine with the box of markers to the right and an empty bowl to the left, all on Continue reading

Portrait Drawing CHALLENGE
Here are some drawings done in pencil. The baby is one of my sons when he was about 4 months old. I couldn’t quite get his hand and fingers right. They look like the legs of a crustacean to me! The other drawing is of my dad in a more sketchy looser style. Of course Continue reading

Pencil Portraits 6 and 7 in Challenge

Day 2: Pencil Portrait
Here is a portrait done in my sketchbook of my friend Elana in pencil. Sadly, it looks nothing like her. The mouth I couldn’t get quite right! Argh! Practice makes perfect though right? And so I trudge on. Continue reading

Day 1: Portrait drawing of Wyatt
Here is Day 1 of portraits. This is done in Micron black ink on (I think) watercolor paper. I’m using an old sketchbook that I made back in college to hold these drawings. Half way through this drawing I swore I was drawing the Grinch, but it turned around a little. I drew this from Continue reading

What the New Year Will Bring
For those of you who might follow this blog, you’ll notice that it has been revamped a little. The focus of this blog will be a little more about my art in general, not a specific type of art, and more about everything that I dabble in. You’ll see art that I create with my Continue reading
