1980's style throwback


















Just for kicks, some oddball late 1980's grid work, circles and styling. Toss in a little bit of shmarmy and I think we're there.

Centaur in motion


















This centaur sketch is a subtle homage to Ray Harryhausen who passed away recently. He was a very young 92 when he passed. He was a man with a vision and a way of making thing believable for the masses. He could imagine the impossible and make them move. I met him a few times over the years and he'll always be an inspiration to me not just with his talent but his happy-go-lucky personality.

Tackle boxes full of supplies, large pads of paper, and a little enthusiasm goes a long way in art school.

Sophia Pappas' prints & such














I just have to pimp & promote one of my students here. This is just some of Sophia Pappas' amazingly gorgeous prints that she's been pulling as of late. She's a recent grad, talented, driven, and hungry to help anyone out on their projects. Go check out her stuff at: http://sophiamariepappas.com/
