Start/Finish


I had the pleasure of working under Robert Hunt for his first portrait painting workshop in Oakland, Cali. Beyond being an awesome artist/illustrator he's a gentleman, scholar, and a real hoot. A wonderful experience working with him and at the studio. Hope to visit again. Robert also took professional shots of our work. These were all painted with oils.

Work Inspired by Wikipedia Random Article Feature

Quickie Art: in order to remain warmed up and get creative ideas flowing. This is little exercise of making an illustration based on topic chosen at random. I use the Wikipedia random article button and try to illustrate something based on the subject that comes up. No real rules just that I have to do it. Hopefully there will be some fun stuff that comes out of this.

One of the things I've discovered that I'm learning is about process. I tend to start a new project differently everytime, so I'm trying to remedy that because I feel like I waste time. These little projects I've assigned myself have taught me a lot about that. Hope to finish these off quickly and then move on to next gig.
