2020 Ends And Some Art Commissions

I notice I post less and less in my blog here over the past few years, but here I am at the end of the year creating a few posts! Here is some artwork that was commissioned by others. Two of these images were actually recreations of my sketch book pages as I do not tear out pages. Actually I feel the original recreations of the pages were probably better than the pages themselves. I still felt I keep them loose and drew them as fast as the original pages. The others were portraits of a couple that was traditionally painted and is a layer piece. The other image was created traditionally and digitally for a friend who is a new comedian in LA. The monster piece was created for a gentlemen who I have done other work with. He asked me to do my take on a monster design of his that was already 3D printed. Anyways besides these I did hundreds of sketchbook pages, drawings, sculpts, digital art, etc. Creating is my life! Cheers! 

Over Five Years Of Monday Monsters

 Back in August 18, 2014 I digitally drew a goofy monster in Photoshop and when I posted it called it the Monday Monster from that day I would do that every Monday although that same year for some reason the month of October 2014 I strangely did not do any Monday Monsters! That was my only gap and I have not missed a Monday since! Anyways almost the first few years I created the Monday Monsters digitally in Photoshop. I did have one traditional one the first year I did these. Anyways I hand draw them now and once and awhile sculpt some. I do sell them so contact me if interested as I still have many left. Anyways here are random Monday Monster images from back in 2014 along with some fun facts which are now a little bit out of date. I usually post these Monday Monster drawings on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and LinkedIn. Chills! 

 

October Digital Paintings 2020

ello all hard to believe November 2019 was the last time I posted here! The months go by fast and I am creating more than ever over this past year, that has been both interesting and more than challenging at times! Anyways this last October like every October I like to create much Halloween/Horror type art be it in my sketchbook or some digital paintings like the ones I am posting here. The digital painting of the creature coming out of the sea destroying the light house was the final form from one of my Rinktober sketches out of my sketchbook. Rinktober where everyday in October I did an quick Halloween/Horror ink drawing and posted it on social media. Anyways these digital paintings were created on my Wacom tablet in Photoshop and as always they were a blast to create! Chills!

What Is The Deal With The Ape And Turtle?

I ask that of myself once and awhile as I draw this pair on occasion usually a drawing events like Sketch Tuesday and Quick Draw SF. So the black and white image of an ape in a business suit riding a turtle was first one of this series and was drawn at a Sketch Tuesday in 2013. I believe I sold that one as I only have a cell phone shot of it. I may of drawn this sort of image earlier in a sketchbook or elsewhere but am not sure. Anyways I think in my mind it is cool to pick a certain subject like these two draw them up without ever seeing the other images and see how they differ in the end. I guess in the way it is a personal drawing  exercise of some sort. Most of these drawings have been sold or traded for other drawings, so they rarely stay with me. Here is to future apes riding turtles and I wonder if the reverse will ever happen? Oh yes most of these images are under 6 x 8.5 inches and are usually ink drawn and colored. So here is the first image created and other ones more or less in order drawn up to a few months or so back.

Recent Traditional Robot Art

Once again the months are flying by and I have gotten so busy I have forgotten to post some stuff here! I have been doing much creating over the past many months for shows, others and myself. Here are some traditional ink, color ink, watercolor, etc. robot themed drawings I mainly drew at and for Sketch Tuesday and SF Quick Draw. All these drawings if I still have them are for sale just contact me if interested. The thinner drawings are 6"x 9" on watercolor paper and the wider drawings are 6 3/4" x 81/2" on paper. 

 

Halloween 2015 Imagery

Most Halloween seasons I really get inspired to create all types of imagery. This year I seemed pretty busy with things so I did not create as much as I usually do, but in the end I think I created a decent amount. So below is a variety of images from digital to hand drawn and some out of my sketchbooks, etc. Some of these drawings can even be bought and the digital ones bought as prints. Just contact me if interested.
