Still not quite finished with this portrait of Joshua, but here's another progress shot of it...

Sorry for the bit of glare, and darkness around the edge.

progress shot, joshua

I let this get really muddy, and am now getting it back to lighter hues. i threw in a little masking around the edges and am digging the effect.

First Sketch for Paris, High Noon

My friend Trent has been working on the manuscript for a novel, Paris, High Noon. He commissioned me to do a few illustrations for his book, and after weeks of procrastination, I'm finally starting on the project. Here is my first moleskine sketch for the book. I don't usually draw cowboys, or people on horses, so I had to turn to a photo of John Wayne as reference. As usual, my Blackberry was not designed to take the best photos in the world.

weekend

Had a great Halloween weekend, though I was really glad to take some time yesterday evening to do another concept sketch in my moleskine and also take some time to rearrange some of my art collection. I have a Jason Vivona drawing that I've been keeping in a tube in anticipation of getting a frame for it, but finally decided to just hang it temporarily in my hallway sans frame. I'll post a picture of it sometime this week. The moleskine sketch is a still from a video featuring Tender Forever.
