Day 125 of 365

"Apprised in time of the visit paid him, Monte Cristo had, from behind the blinds of his pavilion, as minutely observed the baron, by means of an excellent lorgnette, as Danglars himself had scrutinized the house, garden, and servants. "That fellow has a decidedly bad countenance," said the count in a tone of disgust, as he shut up his glass into its ivory case. "How comes it that all do not retreat in aversion at sight of that flat, receding, serpent-like forehead, round, vulture-shaped head, and sharp-hooked nose, like the beak of a buzzard?" - The Count of Monte Cristo



A work-in-progress.

Day 109 of 365

Came home today determined to draw! DETERMINED! Despite a weird day at work.

So I sat down and just started doodling this. Totally inspired by a new sketchbook I saw at work by Mattias Adolfsson (Check his stuff out!!!) and by The Secret of Kells. ... OB-viously!



I did not allow myself to make it "perfect", as is my habit. OCD sucks but is also awesome on stuff like this. But after looking at Mattais' stuff, I wanted to just PUSH through. Tried not to nit-pick it.
Watercolor will be going on this. Perhaps tomorrow. Looking forward to trying to make the knot look like wood.

Day 104 of 365

Puppy's are so hard! Why must they always MOVE?!



I should have made her look more like a burrito.... This dog reminds me of a burrito. With a tongue hanging out on end.

Day 90 of 365

Whoops- forgot to post this.

A study from La Belle et la Bête illustrated by David Sala. The moment I saw this book, I had to buy it- fresh off a pallet imported from France. And I don't read French!



This is how I prefer my beast- if not drawn by Glen Keane. Thankyouverymuch.

Hands are hard, yo!

Day 69 of 365

Different day, different hand- same project. Today was rough.

Day 68 of 365

I wish I didn't have such a thing about not revealing things that I have not been authorized to... It makes me keep secrets really well, and then I feel like such a TEASE!



Until I get authorization to show what I am working on, this is all you guys get. Sorry!

Day 67 of 365 (Art post!)

Okay, still working. Just had to get the "political" stuff out of the way first.



Yup- I am back to drawin' hands... HAHAHA!

Day 46 of 365

Working on a secret thing. Super excited about it. Was finally able to get back to it last night/very early this morning.



Yes. I am stoked about this.

Day 45? of 365

Okay, been ... UNbusy, if we are being truthful... But things have also been really bad for me lately.

Made up this little comic to sum up how I've been feeling with all the rain lately (which usually, I love rain more than anything), but this particular rain has made me very sad.

Day 32 of 365

Damn- patent leather is hard! hahaha! Not sure why I decided to do this! Will do different something on next one.

Day 31 of 365

Okay! Who likes Girls with Guns?! *sings* -on LSD! Cell-infection, Mass-destruction, Program for the final function, Lab-rat king, rescue team-- sorry... got carried away...



Piece in progress. Gonna ink this. Drew it last year sometime at John Mahoney's drawing day at CSG. Want to try to make it look like one of his pieces. May do two versions even. Having fun!

Day 30 of 365

So today I actually drew a bunch of little stuff, but I can't show anyone. hahahaha I want it to be a surprise. So, instead all you get is a teaser! YAY!

Day 29 of 365

Stuck at Walmart today, getting an oil change. Found a prompter for drawing to kill the time. Got "The Grim Reaper". I realize this isn't much of a stretch of the idea, but hey! One day at a time.


I like this.

Day 24 of 365

And of course fox anatomy turns into PUPPY anatomy! haha! Got to draw my friend's dog while he followed her around as she was cooking. His feet are so complex! And bendy!
