Another Seven Days illustration...

Just wrapped up another illustration for Seven Days, last night. The illustration accompanies an article about seasonal depression, I think.

More Drawings...

Okay so been awhile since I posted some drawings... been a while since I posted in general. Sorry for the irregular posting schedule as of late. I'm trying to get back on track.

Aside from art projects, for those of you who haven't been bombarded with my ramblings on already, I passed the Motorcycle Safety Foundation (MSF) Beginner Rider's Course and received my motorcycle operator's endorsement. One week later, I picked up my now road ready Suzuki GT380 and tasted my first dance with traffic. It was wonderful. Motorcycling is definitely super fun and I wish I weren't just getting started as Ohio begins it's cold and crappy season, but I'll just layer up and enjoy the riding while until the ice and snow rear their ugly heads.

If anyone else out there rides motorcycles, share some stories with me. I'm really enjoying being part of a new culture and I'm eager to hear more about the experiences of others.

For now, it's time for bed. I'm considering riding the moto into work tomorrow. I have to run some errands after work, so might be fun? Nighty night.

New Illustration

First time producing an illustration on a laptop in a hotel room. I miss my desktop setup.

September - Pics from the show

In case you missed the opening, here are some pics from my show (up at Stained Skin through the end of the month). Pics were supplied by Sami Jo Mayhem. Thanks Sami!

Motorbike Update

For those of you currently unaware, I purchased a vintage motorbike back in June. I nabbed a 1976 Suzuki GT380. It's a wild three cylinder two-stroke sporty/touring bike. It was determined, rather quickly once purchased, that the bike needed a significant amount of work before it was reliable and safe and up to code on the road, so off to a shop with more capable hands than mine (WBS Fabrication, up in Dublin OH - www.wbsfab.com).

Amongst the work needed, was to rebuild the spoked wheels. The shop just recently emailed me these little update pics. Yay!

Daily Drawings No. ?

So, I lost count of how many drawings I've done. But, I'm still going. Here's another couple of drawings from the Drawing Sale. These should be shipped out in the next few days.





And, if you're in the area. I will definitely be at tonight's opening. In case you missed the last post, my show SEPTEMBER opens tonight at The Mighty Stained Skin Tattoo and Art Gallery. The opening is from 6-10 pm. Aside from a pile of my paintings and drawings, there will be Schmidt's bahama mama snausages and some delicious PBR.

Oh and the address, again: 1255 N. High St, Columbus OH

Updated: Artwork on Display in Columbus Town...

I should have posted about this sooner, but wow am I swamped with work and projects and craziness.

Opening this Saturday, I will have a collection of raw drawings and paintings on display at The Mighty Stained Skin in Columbus's own Short North District. Actual address: 1255 N. High St, Columbus OH 43201.

I've titled the exhibit: SEPTEMBER. Much of the work will have been previously featured on my blog, so if you're interested in seeing some of my sketches, drawings, and acrylic paintings in the flesh, this is your chance. Also, most, if not all, of the work will be available for purchase and priced to move.

I'm horrible, but I think the opening will be from around 6-10pm or so. If possible, I'll be there for the duration of the opening evening.

Also, for those of you waiting on your 'made to order' drawings, I'm putting another pile in the mail this Friday! Thanks for your patience.

And... CCAD students! I'm pretty sure that it's official; second semester (Spring 2010) Eric Fortune and I will be teaching a class together called Illustration Workshop. More details to follow...

Daily Drawing No. 235

I missed a day. Last Friday, I was pretty tired. I told myself I'd just take a little nap and then do my drawing. Instead, I fell asleep and didn't wake up till the next morning. Sorry everyone.

What I have here today, so far, is another commissioned drawing and a recent illustration for Crawdaddy! Magazine.

For those of you still waiting to receive your drawings, thanks for your patience. These are taking a little longer to complete than I had expected. I'll be sending another three orders out in the mail tomorrow.

Cheers.

I never thought I'd be commissioned to do a nude, but here she is.

Daily Drawing No. 228

Things got a little busy last week. I'll post last week's drawings later today, I promise.
