A Sucker for Them Blue Eyes

Hello hello!
Please forgive my absence.
Last week i had to go into work all week
and so needless to say, i'm way behind and trying to catch up.
With that said, i've been meaning to draw a new picture for you all
but have been thwarted at every turn, so last night i sat down and i did this picture for you.
i hope you like it.
Thank you to all for supporting me on the Print and Tee Shirts.
You don't know how much it means. :)
Just wanted to say thank you.

A Few More Sketchbook Drawings

Hello Friends, sorry for the little absence.
Went to a wedding up in the San Luis Obispo area.
One of my friends since i was in kindergarten got married last night.
It was really a great wedding,
but now i'm back and super tired/sick, but going to try to get some work done.
I hope you like theses two pages out of my Character Sketchbook. :)

I Own Clothes & New Paintings

Wow! i think God put life on fast forward.
These days and weeks are flying by.
I got a lot done this week.
The image above is a sneak peak of a painting i did over the last few days.
It's for an interview, so i don't want to post it yet.

On another note,
I shopped and bought clothes for the first time in 2 years.
Like i said, it had been a while and i needed clothes very much.
i kinda spent way more money then i planned on spending,
but i have to say, i got some really fun clothes.
i dropped them off to get them altered right now,
but i'll have to show you them when i get them all back!

Have a great day, my friends.

Erika Altosaar

Well, i came home last night quiet tired.
Had a full day's work under my belt, and did some coaching after work.
Right about the time for me to finally "tuck-in"
I stumbled on to an amazing blog.
It was full of charcoal drawings and paintings from a Canadian named Erika Altosaar.
As i looked through her site, i was delighted by all the sketckes.
(Charcoal holds a special place in my heart cause that's what i learned how to draw on)
But suddenly when i was about to the bottom of the page, one of her pictures stopped me dead in my tracks.
i loved the expression and the mood of the picture.
You should know me enough by now to know that i kinda couldn't resist drawing it, no matter how tired i was.
So i walked up to my studio and heard the rain start to fall down,
and it was sealed; i had to paint.
This portrait i think is my first drawing where i sketched it completely with a brush.
Well, i hope you like!
Happy middle of the week!
Oh, and check out Erika's blog ealtosaar.blogspot.com..

So I figured out a little too late that i had skipped number 198. haha
so i decided to draw that one today. i'm half way done with it.
I really like how it's turning out. i think it will look kinda different for me;
been working on developing new techniques.

On a side note...
i've got a few comments asking if i could post images for computer wallpaper.
I hadn't though of that, and thought it was an interesting idea....
so the image above is my first attempt at it.
Click on it to get the full size image.
