Two recent paintings

First post of the year and we're halfway through February.

Tearing that social media up as always!

new paintings

Live zoo sketches

As mentioned earlier, here are the the zoo sketches I did:

No surprises that most of the animals were busy going about their business and didn't make it easy. The bald eagle seemed especially agitated that day and in no mood to pose.

Animal posts

Some photo referenced sketching of animals. Did some live sketching of animals last week at the zoo, but haven't scanned them yet.

Not so Super Tuesday blues?

The Bambi Moment

Serengeti sketches

Just a few sketches done off an excellent book, Serengeti Spy: Views from a Hidden Camera on the Plains of East Africa by Anup Shah. Lots of low camera shots of wild animals doing what they do.

Yes...

I do love drawing wild animals.

Fragments

Two paintings I've banged out recently that are pieces of the puzzles I'm currently working on.

Just because

Piece #3

What do you get when you put a collection many years in the making of these...

with ideas from this...

and this...

and a dash of this...

into my brain? Why, my third piece of course.


30"x44.5" acrylic (and some plastic promo credit cards)on BFK

More sketchbook wanderings

Will up the ante very soon but for now more sketches...

Yeah... more.

Got a second draft done on the new comic and am starting breakdowns but have been keeping these up for kicks because they've been great fun. I may try some sequential versions of these brain on cruise control images before I really dive into the real deal.

More animals.

Disappointing attempts at Rauschenberg. That guy had so much energy and a lightness to him so I was a little bummed out when neither attempt really worked. I'll give it another go from another photo some time. I was happy with how his hand came out though.

More art influences/betters.
