First Sunday in May Dr. Sketchy's

I have been using charcoal and nupastel in my drawings lately so I thought I would spice things up by introducing ink to my compositions. I am really happy with the process and the final image, always more to get better at but I don't let it get to me, I just move on to the next piece of paper.

Blocking in the shadow and dark shapes with heavy ink from a brush, I start to map out my composition as a whole, then as fast as I possible can I lay down some basic local color pastels on the legs, arms, stockings, and so forth. The great thing about Dr. Sketchy's is that they always surprise you as to what the models are going to wear and the performances at the end are always so professional. A real talented bunch of guys and gals here in KC. Thanks again Rachel for hosting it.

hope you enjoy the drawings, thanks for lurking.

Sketchbook

Hello everyone,

thanks for all the kind emails over the week, I hope I gave some good insight about my work and yours. Here are some recent sketchbook pages from the moleskine. The color is some oil pastel, which has a gritty texture and flat color, which I like. The drawings themselves are influenced but are not entirely credited by blind contours and shapes. I hope you enjoy them.

ARTOPIA II, FIRST FRIDAY, DR. SKETCHY'S

Jane and I performed a live figure drawing session in the heart of the Kansas City Arts district on First Friday. It was awesome! We had our stage, lights, drawing pads, models, a fire-breather, and live music. The crowd was epic, thanks so much for your support! We also drew at one of the most anticipated parties of Kansas City, Artopia, which is sponsored by the Pitch Magazine. What a fun time we had! We had the pleasure of drawing a lovely model with awesome body paint. Great poses. A huge thanks to Jason at the Pitch, we literally could not have done this without you. We also saw Voler Thieves of Flight aerealists, a great group of creative dancers that use fabrics to fly through the sky. Last but not least, Dr. Sketchy's! I really enjoy drawing with this great group of people and awesome models, a big thanks to Miss Lucky Deluxe!

Featured on Electric Playground!

The Alice in Wonderland exhibition at the Gallerynucleus was feature in an episode on Electric Playground. There is some Final Fantasy in there but halfway through there is a huge time slot of Nucleus goodness. My painting of the tea party is scattered throughout the movie, you can see it behind Wade, the gallery owner.

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!
