"Surprise"

This bass is part of an elaborate gag-gift for my brother-in-law. The actual gift will fit into the void at the base of the bass' head. If you are wondering why a bass, my brother-in-law is an avid fisherman and hunter. Hopefully, it will be a success. In case anyone is wondering, the bass is done in watercolor, graphite and a little acrylic on several layers of foam-core board.

Sketch

"Creep In A Hat"

Graphite on paper.

Winged Doom of Easter

I think there may be a tee shirt design in this somewhere.

Coffin Chaser

For those of you who are interested, a recent tee shirt design.

Clouds

"Clouds," oil on 18" x 24" canvas. This is another piece for a show later this year.

The Messenger

This painting has been extensively re-worked since I originally finished it several years ago.  I still have some issues with it, but I think it is much improved overall.  It is oil on canvas and it's about 18" x 40."

Tonight's Figure Drawing

Vanitas

This is the first printing of a tee shirt that I'm doing for a friend. The next step is to figure out the best way to print a second run of color on the shirt, pink for the flowers.

What I'm Reading Now

I'm currently reading Classical Painting Atelier by Juliette Aristides. Great book. The section on composition alone was well worth the price of the book in my opinion.

Work In Progress

Untitled, oil on 18" x 24" canvas.

Chaenomeles japonica - Work In Progress

This drawing is a tee shirt a friend asked me to design for them. The flowers are Japanese Quince (or Japanese Rose as they are called around here), Chaenomeles japonica.
