If a picture is worth a thousand words, then I must have a lot to say. Or is it not what I want to say but what you need to hear. That is the beauty of art, one photograph, one painting or one sculpture speaks a different thousand words to each of us. Art speaks the universal language in our own dialect. There is freedom in art and it is alive. Art is life and life rules.

This is my "sketch" book and I share it with you.

My Color Theory

If it looks good then do it If it says what you want it to then let it say it There are no rules, no boundries just imagination.

Rain Drop Tease




Ink and colored pencil on Bristol board




I love the rain and unfortunately for me we don't get enough it. As our rain season, if you can call it that, comes to an end I wanted to do something that can remind of the rain. This was an idea I pulled from an old sketch book from 3 or 4 years ago. In the sketch it was just circles and think making the sunflower viewed through water drops was a much better choice. I also love the way the cropping of the flower came out it's kind of like a little tease.
Enjoy:)

When I was a child I used to love to draw houses and trees. Country type scenes, maybe it's because I grew up in the city. I drew this flash from the past in tiny little circles. I have always thought it was an interesting technique but have never really taken the time to develop it. Honestly I kind of forgot about it until now. Perhaps I will work on it some more. It has a great potential. I think the thing I like about it the most is that it isn't exact which forces it to keep a childlike quality about it. Yet at the same time you could draw some incredibly detailed pieces.

Might

It might be possible for an ant to pick and walk away with an Aston Martin and I might one day be able to buy one. This image was created completely in Photoshop.
