I Saw U (On the Bus), 2011, graphite.

If you ask me, one of the best things about public transit is that you can (safely) draw while on the road. Another good thing about public transit is the captive subjects!

Drinking Deity, 2011, mixed media.

Here's my goofy take on a well-known god of adult beverages and hootenannies. I avoided the usual toga and wreath, hoping instead to imply a party guy displaced in space or time. Can you guess which mid-century comedian inspired his features?



Illo background elements, 2011, graphite.

Here's an in-process look at the background elements. Given how these were to appear in the final image, I inked them with a dead line. I haven't done that in a long while. Oof! I can't say I cared for them as standalone images. I have renewed respect for those folks who do great things with a dead line. Also, it makes me wonder if I lean too much on line quality to make an image interesting.

Holiday card design, 2010, mixed media.

Season's greetings! I hope 2010 treated you kindly.

Magical Adventurer Gal, 2010, mixed media.

The "mixed media" here are graphite, a sheet of newsprint, and digital tones and effects.

Suburban Barbarian Princess Jennifer character turns, 2010, ink.

Here's a character of which I'm fairly fond.

Also, here's a lively rendition by my pal Jesse Hamm!

Hope this post finds you well, enjoying the lovely autumnal weather.
