A new study of one of my favorite authors, Stephen King. This is just a quick preliminary to a little side project I will be doing in the next few weeks… more details later. READ MORE
I try and make sure my Wednesday “Sketch O’the Week” is something I do in my sketchbook purely for the joy of drawing and not for a job. However this week I am going to cheat and share these extremely quick studies of some presidential candidate nominees I did as part of a cover job I finished late last week. Joe Biden Sam Brownback Christopher Dodd Mitt Romney Fred Thompson These are very loose. I scanned then in and arranged them on a page that included 10 different primary candidates for an insurance magazine. I’ll share that cover as soon as it’s been published. READ MORE
Number One Son Thomas is doing so well in his first year of middle school that last week he got a reward… a copy of Halo 3 for his Xbox 360. He loves playing those chase and shoot games.

This was one of the sketches in one of those books… probably around 10 years old or so. It was a study I did of MAD caricature legend Mort Drucker that I later did as an airbrush painting as a thank you to him for sponsoring me for membership in the NCS, among other things. I still like the sketch because it captured his posture and body type… READ MORE
Just a goofy doodle of a football player since the NFL (National Felon League) season is just underway. READ MORE
Still under deadline so this “sketch o’the week” is from an older sketchbook… a study of caricaturist Corbett Vanoni from an online message board community where we all posted our photos and drew each other. I wish I still had time to do that kind of thing, but life intervenes. I was doing a lot of crosshatching in those days. READ MORE
