in an effort to at least have something different on here…i ma going to try to upload sketches from day to day. i always find myself drawing but rarely scan them. i seriously hate scanning from sketchbooks. unless the are ring bound and easily folded over… :)
The landscape was done while i was locked out of my office in downtown for a few minutes. it was when it was super smoky from the wild fires. it was like black fog

The Good, the Bad and the Ugly

have to post this lunchtime drawing of Clint Eastwood in all its squinty-eyed-ness. all Photoshop, quick and fun. I remember watching all those Spaghetti Westerns with my older brother on the KTLA afternoon cinema. They really need to bring that back. I saw all the classics that way…cut and edited to fit for time and FCC regulations.

i started this portrait of Johnny Rotten of the Sex Pistols and didnt quite hit the likeness on the drawing. However, i really liked the drawing that i did get. so i decided to move forward and finish the piece anyway. I like the way that sometimes a drawing will start as one thing and end up taking on a life of its own. even something as simple as a portrait…So there you go.

secret drawings

2009 June 30

One reason I love Illustrator is that the workspace size is so big all around the actual image area that you can have a hundred things going on at once. Here are some things i did while i was bored doing other stuff. They were hiding all along the edges of other documents…. :) itscool A Rockabilly Angel, a bunch of Run DMC glasses wearing skulls and um a pumpkin. Random
