| Old work :: Einstein |
While I'm at it, here's an old Einstein piece I did around 2002. I was just starting to play with the technique that I use to this day. I drew a really detailed pencil rendering in my sketchbook based off a famous old photo of him. I even did the type by hand! What was I thinking! Then I took it into Photoshop and colored it and added an obscene amount of detail. It was fun. It's always a lot of fun to do an obscene amount of detail and texture. It's how my sick mind works. It's relaxing. Kinda like yoga for unhealthy, sedentary people like myself.

| Tis the season... |
Monday, October 27th, 11:35 am... and I just saw my first Christmas commercial of the season. That season is starting earlier each year. This year, I'm going to try to be more optimistic, and less cynical. Let's just call it an early new years resolution.
Oh, and since this is an art blog, here's an old piece of Audrey Hepburn to tide you over. That one is all warm and fuzzy and follows the theme of the post, right?

| Figure Drawing |
Here at the studio, we host figure drawing sessions each Tuesday and Thursday. We go to the effort for our own personal growth, and also to give the community an opportunity that they otherwise may not have.
I personally really enjoy these sessions, because it gives me the chance to step outside my comfort zone and try something new. I'm so used to doing such a high level of detail on my commercial work, it's refreshing to be able to stay a little loose and gestural with the figure drawing.
I'm going to start posting some of my drawings here from time to time. Hope you enjoy them. The drawings below are 20 minutes each, NuPastels on newsprint.
