…so much for New Year’s Resolutions!
Number 11 of 100 Drawings, finally up for your visual pleasure. Got a bunch in the pipes, and I hope to have many done in a row for you soon, but I feel like I’ve made that promise before. So let’s not build it up too much. Here was one I got done relatively quick. As usual, if you’re interested in purchasing, you can do so directly from my snazzy store here. Don’t forget to check out my Twitter page- I’ll regularly show progress shots on new drawings, paintings, projects and other stuff that by all means ought to go here. Failure is always an option, apparently. Oh, and the reluanch of the site is pending. Have I mentioned it yet? Oh well, it’s en route: a new design and some clarity, coming soon. Enjoy.

…just like Grandma!
So, in continuing with the theme of my last post about cleaning out the studio, I’ve got two new drawings for your eyeballs. I say new because you’ve never seen them before, but they were actually completed a few years back. I never got around to doing any color, as they felt so complete on their own. Each is straight up ink on paper, my old familiar friend. I plan on working these over digitally in the future, perhaps offering them available as prints…. For now, they are both available in the store. Don’t forget the magic Holiday code: EGGNOG for 20% off purchases all December!
As part of my very short list of New Year’s resolutions, I will begin making prints of paintings and drawings for your purchasing pleasure. Imma take a slightly different tack than I have the past few years and try to continue to make more art, more affordably and focus on maximizing my creative and productive output. More on this later, but it may end up tied to my 100 Drawings plan, which has gotten woefully behind. Without further chitty chat, here’s the work!

…you know, the guy drawing at Starbucks.
Yes, while I am ashamed and have to eat a bit of crow for being ‘that guy’ at Starbucks who either has his laptop, is writing his novel or is drawing away for everyone to see, I had a lot of fun. Ginger had the great idea of making me go out of the house as I was getting more than a little stir crazy in the house. Since I’ve gone for the full time freelancer/artist role, the house has become my office, home and jail cell. I’m finding it harder and harder to get motivated in the morning to get to work, as well as relax and unwind at night. It’s the typical work-from-home dilemma where you spend far too much time in your dwelling/office space and the two become indistinguishable. Ginger, love of my life and a quite smart lady has encouraged me to take breaks, walk around, and frankly get the hell out of the house. So it was off to the Barnes & Noble / Starbucks combo for an evening iced coffee and drawing session. Scored yet another sketchbook, this one on sale for only three bucks (couldn’t pass it up) and I got down to work. Drew for nearly three hours nonstop, and it was fantastic. I realize I haven’t been able to just sit and draw in the home studio, because I feel compelled to always be working on one of far too many projects I continually take on. This was pure drawing for fun, something I haven’t been able to do in months.
Enough blathering, enjoy the drawing, first in a new sketchbook, hopefully many more to come as I attempt better habits, breaks and ways to change up the home and office from becoming a tomb. Enjoy.
