Random Thought...

Only on such slow Sundays like this, where inspiration is absent and the imagination is unforgiving, I wish I lived in New York and had the luxury to spend my entire day getting lost in The Met...to sit among the ancient Greek and Roman sculptures...to blush with the women of the European Renaissance. But only, on such slow Sundays.

Elephant (Oil Pastels)



Just picked up my box of oil pastels and started drawing the first things that came to mind.  Elephant and Winterfresh gum.

Wishery meets Nightmare




I made this video a couple of months ago.  I wanted to film my creative process and to actually see myself painting.  It's like hearing your own voice, weird.

Self Portrait (Oil Pastels)---Daily Sketch

Just woke up.


"The world today doesn't make sense, so why should I paint pictures that do?" 
-Pablo Picasso

Crisis (Marker and Oil Pastel)---Daily Sketch

 

It's almost 3 in the morning.  Did this quick sketch while watching Bridget Jones' Diary.  I guess this scene surfaced from anxiety I had all day of the violence rapidly unfolding in Libya, the nuclear crisis in Japan, along with Bridget's own anxiety about men and spinsterhood.  Nightmares this early morning?  Most likely.

No Name (Marker)---Daily Sketch


Experimenting again with style in my sketchbook.  This is a person I know,  a friend I guess you can say,  and I've been wanting to draw him just didn't know how to go about it.  So came up with this abstract thing; drawing him without really drawing him, simply highlighting the important things. 

Cupidstein (Graphite)---Daily Sketch



No real conscious reason to why I created this sketch.  I just picked up a stick of graphite and started drawing the eyes and Cupidstein was born (conjunction of "Cupid" and "Frankenstein").
