This summer I signed up for the 2012 Sketchbook Project. You receive a book, fill it, send it back, and it goes on national tour with thousands of other sketchbooks. People get to flip through your book and see your process or just enjoy the drawings. ... Comment - Like

Boo! I’m enjoying a Frankenstein triple feature and working on artist trading cards. I’ve had a couple of requests for the Frankenstein monster so what a perfect night to finish these drawings up. Here’s one I finished last night.
Have a spooky evening everyone!

More cats for you here. I’ve been making a lot of these lately. I think because I want to make sure that they aren’t flukes or just happy accidents. I’m so amazed by how well these are turning out. For a contrast, here are some cat drawings I drew in 2008:
Big improvement, I think. Comment - Like

Something Serious
pen and paper, 5 x7 inches
Instead of filling requests for portraits, I’ve been filling up my sketchbook with ballpoint pen drawings. Here’s one I thought came out quite well. As always, Michael is my ever-patient model. He looks like he’s thinking about something pre... Comment - Like

A few weeks ago it was snowing and I had an errand I had to run so I rode the bus downtown. I thought it would be a great opportunity to do some sketching . I found myself a seat behind this kid and I just had to draw his hair. Luckily he didn’t move much and he sat there for my whole ri... Comment - Like

I’ve been in a bit of a drawing slump and fighting a cold, so not much art is getting done these days. Here is another Van Gogh-style card from the swap I mentioned on my last post. While I tried acrylic paint on the last card, this one was done with o... Comment - Like

One of the ongoing swaps over at Illustratedatcs.com is the Art History 102. Each month the host chooses an artist and we can make cards adapted from one of the artists works or create a work in the artist’s style. I signed up for the Van Gogh month and this... Comment - Like

Hello there! Can’t believe it’s September already. Now that summer is almost over I feel a little more like spending more time at the computer. I’ve spent most of August trading a lot of custom portraits on atcsforall.com and illustratedatcs.com. It’s been challenging and fun.
Here’s... Comment - Like

This year has really flown by for me. I’ve been busy drawing and painting artist trading cards and I haven’t come up for air very often. I counted up my scans for the year and found that I had made 204 ATCs for swaps and personal trades–and that does... Comment - Like
