I'm leaving, on an X-Wing, don't know when I'll be back again..

I'll do my best to keep with posts well I'm away. Good bye PNW!

Everything is not proportionate

I think this is probably the best one from that session. I call it "How Ilan got his groove back."

Boots at the Bluffs

I drew my friend Robert's boots at the bluffs.

Hair bun

This might be my favorite one of that session. I really like how minimal it is, while describing so much. If only more of my stuff could end up like this.

Keeping it Simple

Here's one that's pretty unusual for me. A simple line drawing.

Naked and Loving it

Figure drawing sessions at PNCA have started up again which is good because I was getting pretty rusty on my life drawing skills. Get ready for three more days of this.

Jury Duty

A few weeks ago I performed my civic duty and went to jury duty. I brought tons of projects to take care of as I waited, but actually got sent home after only two hours. Damn this luck of mine. I did manage to sketch this guy out, which proves my long tested theory. Jury Duty is full of a bunch of weirdos.

Tool Bucket

I've been tracking my post count and I realized that I only need to post 40 more times this year to have an average of a post every other day. I'm going to try to make this happen for you, dear readers, so STAY TUNED!

When I'm not drawing I have to do things for money. One of those things is paint houses. Here's a sketch I did while on break the other day of our tool bucket. Fascinating I'm sure.

Finished Piece

For those of you who couldn't make it out last night to SCRAP, here is my finished piece for the show. It's my first shadow box and I really like the medium. Some kind of weird hybrid of drawing and sculpture. I'm considering making three more of these, one for every season. If you get a chance drop by SCRAP sometime and check out the rest of the pieces. The show will be up through the end of the year.



And here's a closer shot of the little guy.

Don't call him Rocky

Here's my second draft sketch for the raccoon. I really liked the drawing, but the mood still wasn't right for the piece. Finally I got around to the one below which is much closer to what I was looking for. The finished piece can be viewed tonight at the Volunteer art show at SCRAP in NE Portland (Corner of MLK and Stanton). The opening will be from 6:00-8:30pm.
