October is almost here!

 Start your Autumn reading today with my book "SKETCH31" on amazon.

This week's WRAP

 This week's WRAP (Wednesday Random Art Post) is a drawing from one of my old sketchbooks, using a polychromos dark blue #19 pencil.

So many of the drawings in my sketchbooks can seem bizarre and are usually a combination of so many influences. I use those sketchbooks to experiment with characters and backgrounds. I try to put the characters in my sketchbooks in situations that make sense in the real world but may not look like the real world. Overlaying visuals that I find interesting and varied.

Goodbye Summer

 For this weekend's Saturday morning Doodle: (back at it after a month off from doing this every weekend)

Today is the last day of Summer. For me it's a depressing thought that this season is over. Our summers in the PNW are very short and some of them are dark, cold and rainy, like this summer. Not much warmth or sun for most of those three months. And it looks like we will have a slight break next week when the temps go up into the 70s. Yay!

For me this means more trips down to where the sun lives in the winter to get a dose of happiness. Adios my friend, summer.

WRAP for this week

 Today's WRAP (Wednesday Random Art Post) from one of my old sketchbooks.

Sometimes the pages in my sketchbooks have drawings that are inspired by a variety of things I see on any given day, thoughts I have about one thing or another and make a visual statement. This one is about lobbyists. It speaks for itself.
Every so often I think I should make a graphic novel series based on this one.

Art Studio

INKY FRIDAY!!

Summer is down to a few precious handfuls and still I want to draw it and show it for what fun can be had while the sun is still up and there is warmth. (not here in the PNW of course, because it's been cold and dark throughout August and September this year)

Take this drawing for what it is, without explaining the need to have a very large cold drink on the beach. Enjoy what's left of summer and have a great weekend.

 

Art Station

 10 months later, still looking for work. The longest I've ever gone without a new job coming my way has been a year. Nearing that now, in the wake of responding to job posts of about 25 per month,... no responses except AI/robot responses. Not putting "Key Words" into resumes can be problematic. What are those key words for what I do for a living? Illustration, Illustrator, Art, Concept Art, Visual Development,...? I put all those in there and more.

Yet, all I hear are,... tumbleweeds blowing by... ssssssshhhhhhh, thik, thik, thik...

Come on companies! I can make your day (ideas come to life!) 😀

P.S... I just started with ArtStation, so my page is a work in progress. Stay tuned.
