Human's Beast

Discipline, moderation and will power may sometimes feel impossible. It's a skill that some learn and many have learned in the past. It's a battle worth fighting for and one that can be won!

Edgar Payne Exhibit at PCMA

Landscape sketches done from Edgar Payne. His color, composition and mark making are great.

Tangential Love

This is a story about a godless King. He desired to be a great ruler. In order for his Kingdom to prosper, he chose to sacrifice the people closest to him. After his Kingdom found peace, he began to search for peace within himself. Unfortunately, he didn't have a God to ask for forgiveness. God is merciful while man is spiteful and holds grudges. When he cast the mirror of judgement on himself, the only thing he saw was contempt and disdain. This story is a tragic one.

Muscle Memory is funny that way

Read in pirates voice:

"This is a story of a man. He was once a poor boy that slept in a small bed with a beautiful girl. Eventually his greed lost him everything on his quest for wealth. Through the perils of darkness he became a rich man that now sleeps in a big bed with his earned treasure. His riches do give him hope for true happiness but the price he paid was the understanding of real suffering.

This story has nothing to do with money."

I went sketching at the Norton Simon Museum in Pasadena today. The Norton Simon is one of my favorite museums. It's small but with a great collection of Degas, a few Rembrandt's, Picasso's and a Ruebens I like a lot. This sketch is from one of many sculptures by Edgar Degas.

Comic Con Swag

The best things I bought at Comic Con were some awesome sculptures. They are probably the two coolest things I own - including my cats.

Super awesome skull sculpture with magnets for the jaw and vertebrae.

The goods.

Charcoal portrait of a girl

I'm not thrilled with the outcome this time around.

I went back in to rework her. Kind of looks like I channeled some Anne Hathaway. I wasn't too into Anne Hathaway, but her as Catwoman turned me into a believer.
