I was laughing the other night about the fact that most of the time, I go to these figure nights, my drawings stink the whole place up. But when I come home all those bad drawings inform and improve what I’m working on. It’s good to draw without a real vested interest in the finished [...]
I won’t lie I absolutely botched a few of the poses from last weeks session. I do like this one though. I’m really enjoying using pastels for these, mainly because it is a media I’m unfamiliar with so I can’t get comfortable like I might while drawing in pen or pencil.

More drawings from TADRVA’s Open Figure Drawing Night. The top drawing is from the 10/21 session, the last four were from 11/4.
If you’ve never read the Goon by Eric Powell before, you should do yourself a favor and change that. Why this isn’t a top ten book in the comic industry is an absolute mystery.

With things getting back to some semblance of order I’ll hopefully be able to get back to my [...]
These were done as a gift in the not too distant past. Just getting around to putting scanned versions up.
Fair warning: This blog post is going to possess a lot less snark than I tend to write with here.
First off I’d like to say, it’s really inspiring to watch a grass roots effort take hold and mobilize a group of people. I was pointed in the direction of fellow illustrator Kelly Light’s [...]

Done pretty quickly as a means to get back in gear. I’ve been a bit unproductive as of late.
This was the last of the series I produced before the show. I actually finished it the Thursday before the opening.
For now I’m probably going to let the stained paper work rest just a bit as I recharge some. I did learn a lot from doing these, and that’s always the goal. In fact [...]
