Princess coloring book

This one started out as a random google image search for coloring book pages. I'm not quite sure which artist to credit for the original drawing. Go here for the link to the image.


I was actually studying this classic Ingres painting as inspiration for the color palette. And yes, I do realize how offensive this combination must be to all the art purists out there. Ah well.

Sketch Infectus

It's been a while, I've been working lately on some stuff I can't post quite yet. In the meantime I would admonish you to check out the incredibly talented Joe Bluhm's new sketchbook. It's chock full of some great drawings and quotes from a number of artists on the benefits of keeping a sketchbook.

Also on the inspirational quote front, I really like some of the quotes Stephen Silver has put up in this Facebook group. Always a good read.

Lucky the Leprechaun

Here's to a Magically Delicious™ St. Patty's Day.

Junius Brutus Booth

Quick head study of Junius Brutus Booth, he was John Wilkes Booths' pappy. Apparently he wasn't a big fan of the guv'mint either and sent a threatening letter to then President Andrew Jackson back in the day.
Favorite line from the Wiki page:
"It was often difficult for his friends to tell whether he was drunk or crazy."

Santa "Big Red" Claus

The McMurtry Sisters

Mabel & Madge.

Frank N. Stein

Skeletor Pondering

I guess this could be considered fan-art if I was a fan of Masters of the Universe. But I'm not. I am a fan of skulls, however. Be sure to check out Adam's and Sam's for some good stuff.

Award time

I've never met Mr. Jim Pearson, but he was nice enough to include this blog as part of his Thinking Blogger Awards. Many thanks, kind sir! So now I must do my duty and name 5 other "thinking" blogs--basically an excuse to give props to some of my favorite sites as of late. Now I can name drop... here goes:

Adam Rex An amazing illustrator and author, Adam's work is appealing on so many levels. If you don't have Frankenstein Makes a Sandwich already, get it now! I promise you won't be disappointed.



Jason Seiler Mr. Seiler has that enviable combo of being able to get spot-on caricature combined with a truly stunning painting ability. Be sure to watch the YouTube paint of Darth Lucas for proof. Excellent work!



Florian Satzinger Many ducks and all sorts of imaginative contraptions reside here. Really great shapes combined with some impossibly fun machinery. He updates like a maniac too, so watch out!



Sarah Mensinga
If you're looking for drawings, paintings and stories with loads of appeal, look no further. The various pixies, fairies and mermaids she draws are graceful and charming.










The Amazing Parpan Bros. (Justin& Josh).
OK, so technically this would be 6 awards, but who's really counting? I don't know what's in the water where these guys grew up, but they need to bottle it. Each one of them has such a unique take on things. All sorts of cool creatures, wonderfully realized. They're running an outfit called Goblin Fish Press right now chock full of freaky goodness.

Elvis Lives!

In honor of the 30th anniversary of The Kings untimely demise--
An attempt at an Elvis sketch and
A couple of Graceland snapshots:
