SXSW click this for more details!

Also, Phil Holland Took some really great shots of the Convention and Mohawk Club!!!

I had the privilege of traveling down to South By Southwest with John English, president of the theartdepartment.org, to promote the new, revolutionary online art school. Teaming up with Massive Black and Coceptart.org, this school is sure to knock the Earth off it's axis! the picture above is from a live drawing event at the Mohawk Club featuring performances by Massive Black, Andrew Jones with the new Painter 11, TAD and even a fashion show. One of the best nights of my life, nothing but pure energy. Not many things compare to the beating pulse of gesture drawing in the middle of a packed dance club- 

THE NIGHT WAS OURS!

Mark English was also in attendance at the Austin convention, showing everyone how its done. In the first photo of him, you can see Android Jones doing the digital in the background. Everyone at the concept studio Massive Black was real nice and welcoming, Kemp, Whit, Scooter, Zack and Jason- you guys are amazing people. Looking forward to seeing all of you soon. Also Francis Vallejo, Dustin Darnault, and Jane Radstrom came with us down to the festivities. These cats can draw!!

This whole trip would be nothing without the huge support of our figure models! Thank you Eva, Erica, and all the others that I can't remember their names. Thank you Jaquelyne for for all your help as well, you ladies were wonderful! So here are some shots of the drawings that I did over the weekend. I'm sure Francis, Jane, and Dustin will post theirs when they get a chance. All the drawings were drawn from 2 min model poses. We all must have went through at least two newsprint pads, drawings on both sides of the paper. I hope you enjoy the images and thanks for looking. 

A special shout out to Corel for helping to make this all happen!

Society of Illustrators New York

Much to my surprise, a painting of mine ended up in the student exhibition at the society of Illustrators in New york! I recieved a call a couple of days ago from Don Brandes at Ringling telling me that I was accepted, and to ask if I still had the piece. I wish I could go to the show, I now that it will be a blast.

It turns out I won the $1000 John Klammer Award, great news

Girl Monotypes

Here are a couple etching ink monotypes I did last year. The were printed from a copper plate, pressed from my car, on to 500 reeves paper. I love how abstract, expressive and fast monotypes are, definitely more in the future. Thats all for now. thanks for looking!

Polo Monotypes and Transfers

here are some monotypes and etching ink transfers.

These were done about 3 weeks ago before andrew, robyn, kinsella and watts came.

I like the more dark, simple tranfers than the line but maybe now I can put some color on them or washes on top.

The monotypes were really fun to do (printed from copper) they were basically a test- I don't have a press so I just ran them over with my car- with appropriate towels and so forth. 

all of these images are actual size- click on it to zoom in. Hope you enjoy them/ what do you think?
