Doodling While Sick In Bed

I was in bed sick for 3 days last week. Doodled this Speckled Breasted Horned Dogger one afternoon in bed in my sketchbook with a ball point pen. When I'm sick...I still get bored. :-)

Choosing Between Two Troll Illustrations

Two days ago I posted on my personal Facebook page and Facebook illustration page and got a great response regarding which version of The Blue Ridge Mountain Troll I should chose to hang in the "Spooky" themed show at the ZaPow gallery in Asheville N.C. which starts this weekend. I needed to know that afternoon to let the printer know and almost immediately comments were flooding in. So with that in mind, I thought it would be great to see what folks visiting my blog would think. Let me know which one you would choose. Also, you can pick up a print of the one that was chosen here. Thanx!

The Perils Of Keeping It Real Chapter 2

The Perils Of Keeping It Real is my journey of getting back into analog art in addition to my digital art.

This is a second go around at the “Catfields and McDawgs”. I wasn’t happy with the watercolor part of the process so I am starting over.  I didn't take the extra step the first time and do a color comp...I sooo know better than that. I was too eager to jump into the painting and not planning can be very unforgiving with watercolors. I need it done by this week to enter it into the Dog And Cats Show at the ZaPow gallery in Asheville NC next week. Now I have to retrace the sketch onto the watercolor block, re-ink the drawing then paint the masking fluid over the painting to begin painting the background. What I would give to have a command Z or undo with watercolors. Analog takes a much tougher toll on my patience than digital work.
