CCAD profs revisited

Realizing that I haven't posted anything on here since the late 80's I figured I'd better get back on track.
Last Spring I asked Ben Mahan to pose for me for a kid's vampire piece I was doing and he obliged by setting me up with some great reference shots. Recently after flipping through some older posts on this blog I realized that I never got around to sketching Mahan when I did the other Illustration instructors . So since I had the reference on hand I went to it. Rock on Ben

Sketch Day 110 Another flower child

I like where these flower head poses are going so I think I'll keep going with them until something else inspires me!

Sketch A Day 107- 109

A few new sketches I've done as prelims for new paintings - time to pick up the slack!

Sketch A Day 106 Macaroni and Cheese

So, my nephew is staying with us for a few days. As a result we're eating alot of Mac n' Cheese floods of chocolate milk and Oreos.
Not bad I know... but it has thrown my creative juices into a frenzy ... from which was hatched my little beasty sketch here.
It was either that or all the heroin.

Ushanka Girl painting

Not technically my painting a week piece-(fail for now)
But a new piece none the less.
I encourage everyone in the CBus area to go check out a great new show at Rivet Gallery "We'll be Right Back After These Messages"
Some very fine work in that show!

Be sure to tell Maxe hi!

`````Painting a week 1 complete

Made some time this afternoon to finish this little piece up. The final is 8x 10 in acrylic , oil and some PS to tweek it. All in all this went pretty smooth and I'm already planning the next experiment!

Sketch Day 105 Lioness

pretty much straight up sketch of a lioness. Started out as a phone doodle and decided to tighten it up. I think I have a thing for big cats facing right!
