Portrait Sketches

Sketching while watching a movie. Seems to be the common trend these days.

Mullet Monster

The name says it all.

Cat & Mouse

This is the last of a series of four illustrations to be used for children's books.

Dinosaur Soup

No it's not bits of dinosaur, it's just alphabet soup with dinosaurs. No need to bang down my door. I included the sketch and I wanted to emphasize the large oval and circular shapes. I wanted to add a little more contrast than what I usually do. Something my work has needed in the past for variety.

Sandy Koufax

Portrait of Sandy Koufax to be used for an auction on November 17th. Originally it was going to Kevin Youkilis but since they just had the biggest collapse in baseball history I will steer clear of that until the dust settles.

Strange Fish

These are a few of the fish I came up with poking fun at some of their patterns and names. This could turn out to be an endless project.

Lettering Fish

Shrimp Matis Creature

Stegosaurus Fish

Gold Fish

Clown Fish

Zebra Fish

Spotted Fish

The Challenge of Snow

I have never tried to draw or paint snow in an illustration. I had to take this one really slow and have a good mental picture before executing. I looked up several artists work to see how they tackled snow and watercolor. For the most part it was almost a black and white illustration before a few areas of actual color appeared. Now off to the beach.
