I have never excelled with watercolors...

...but I tried them out today after what must be years of neglect. I can't say I haven't used them at all since college; I just never use them as they are meant to be used. You know, that flowing, billowy, blended looseness my professors always hounded me about.

I think I'm doomed to spend the rest of my life sharpening my pencils to a perfect point, pressing my nose to my desk, and ruining my eyesight attempting to get all the details.
These are bad, but I'm sharing them with you anyway. =)

Here's to...

...my first four months as a non-smoker.

Running!

And a summer full of art, sunshine, and happiness.

Cans & Fireworks - Marker & Pencil Illustrations.

Recently finished pieces.

Each drawing is 4" x 4" on 5" x 5" marker paper.








Portrait of Rylan. Graphite on paper.

A few progress shots and finished portrait I did of my dear friend's little one, Rylan. I debated the entire time I worked on this whether or not to add color. For now, I believe I'm going to play it safe and leave it as is.
