Binder Clip
Today I took about 20-30 minutes of completely interrupted time to draw this binder clip. I think that I was stopped every 2 minutes. I’m quite fond of the results actually! This was done in my moleskin sketchbook with a 02 Micron black pen. I used Sue Bleiweiss’ The Sketchbook Challenge to prompt this drawing. Continue reading

Crusher
This is a sketch called Crusher, done with a basic #2 pencil in my moleskin sketchbook, of one of my boys’ favorite toys. There are obvious flaws, but I just went with it since I had a rare amount of time where my boys were entertained and busy and weren’t interrupting me for this and Continue reading

Screw it…
Okay so the pun is overused, BUT, I have been trying to finish this tiny little drawing for months, and still have not finished it. This is drawn using a basic Ticonderoga pencil in my moleskin sketchbook (it’s about 5×7-ish). This actually is a large carriage bolt, not a screw, but I just couldn’t resist Continue reading

Camping Sketch: Water Bottle
Here is a sketch I did this past weekend while camping with my family. By some chance I actually had time to sketch twice (a miracle, believe me!). I enjoyed sketching this bottle, and would have liked to have completed the scene. The bottle was placed at the end of our picnic table among an Continue reading

Portrait in Plaid
Here is a pencil portrait from a photograph of my son. It looks nothing like my son, naturally. However, I was pleased with the results for the most part. Done in my moleskin sketchbook with a basic Ticonderoga #2 pencil. For the life of me I couldn’t get the nose right. I’m just amazed that Continue reading

ADK Chair
We took our first camping trip of the year last weekend to beautiful Woodford, Vermont. I (attempted) to draw (between interruptions from twin crazy boys) one of my child’s Adirondack Chairs. It’s a little messed up, but I don’t care. I often like smallish mistakes in drawings. One more addition to the Moleskin sketchbook, done Continue reading

Portraits… of the furry kind
Just thought I would share some of the portraits that I have done in the past. I’ve gotten some crazy requests actually, hence the new header image of Bella, a custom portrait done for a friend of mine’s previous employer. I’ve also done another of Chase for a friend at a local gallery. I have Continue reading

Bicycle Sketch
Here is the latest, sorry for the hiatus, things have been busy around here and I spend most of my days outside with my boys. This is a sketch done with Micron ink black #5 pen in my Moleskin sketchbook. It’s of a bicycle I picked up on the side of the road for free Continue reading

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
