Sea Serpents

Another drawing that I completed using the same photo as Seas to Forest as the basis of the piece. This drawing is a bit more haunting then the previous and more indicative of what I am really try to illustrate.

Seas to Forests

A drawing I completed today on a photographs of my small sets. I used watercolor and graphite on the digital print. I like the transparency and luminosity that these materials give the piece.

More experiments

Today I worked in the basement with my lights and little drawings. I am pleased with the how rich the color is in these few pieces.
I took a few photos with the sheep. I wasn't planning on using him, but it seemed right. The sheep reminds me of nursery tales I sing to my daughter over and over.

Ship drawings begin

This weekend I have taken a break from my drawing project and began work on the petite dioramas. These images are created using small 2D drawings that I set up like a theater and then photograph. I used some colored gels with my lighting in order to introduce color and mood. I am going to some experimental drawing onto these prints. Part of me enjoys the simplicity of the images, but I feel driven to work them more.
The imagery is referencing my hallucinations from when I was in a coma. These are just the beginning, but I hope that they end up somewhere exciting.

Birthday Drawing


I am working on this delightful, over the top, drawing for my daughter's third birthday. She loves everything in the drawing: rainbows, whales, dolphins, sea horses, and horses. I have enjoyed making something that might be desirable to a three year old and her active imagination.
Materials used: ink, graphite, watercolor pencils, 8 X 10 " on rag paper

Wolves

This drawing I worked on today. I think it may need a little more tinkering. I wanted to take a break from my Drawing for ARDS project to clear my head. Media used: graphite and lazertran collage on digital print.

Shrouded Sheep


I began this drawing to accompany a drawing in my fundraising project. I never felt like it was finished. I did a little bit more work on it today and I think it is done.
