Athens, Ga







This is my process for this painting. It's 48"x 61" in oil. Took a while, but I'm very happy with it. Enjoy!

All right, get yer pocket books and wallets out kiddies!! Our friend Lindsey is raising money for the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society's "Light the Night Walk" She's shooting to beat her amount last year of $24,000 and raising the bar to $30,0000. The walk is October 11th so if you can spare anything, give the girl some cash!!

Tom Petty?

So I can't help but think, after I finished drawing this Jackaloupe (or Jackalope), that it resembles Tom Petty...........

Why Ronnie Rocks!!

You need to head over to shirtaday.com and buy a shirt that my buddy Ronnie designed! Support some starving artists and get a cool shirt!!

Hungry Hungry......

Heh,heh. So, sorry if this offends anyone, but I had to go to the theme parks today for a survey and am always reminded of how obese people are and how you will always see them riding one of these. While I think it may be appropriate for a moo-moo or hawaiian shirt at this point I really wanted to see some folds and wrinkles in this beast. I added the "Uncle Rico" mustache cause that always get a chuckle outta me. Was trying to figure out a way to incorporate those birds you always see sitting on them........

Doodles from my Weekly Meetings




I have an 8 1/2 x 11 notepad that I take to my meetings each week here at work. I take notes in the top left hand corner which takes up about 4 inches. The rest is filled with sketches. I am paying attention though--promise..............

Poor Jack








I did a series of fairy tale illustrations (that fell by the wayside with the rest of my projects) not too long ago and this is one of them. Possibly more to follow.

Andy

Ok, so I thought I would show today the very start of a new painting I'm doing of this cute kid of one of my friends. I start off with a loose sketch in pencil and try to figure out where my lights and shadows will end up. From here it usually goes from me out-lining in paint and then totally screwing it up in color and then fighting my way back to a finish piece that hopefully we all can enjoy. I'll try to keep my progress so I can show the process when I'm finished. Sorry for the crappy picture, the lights not the best.
