Manga-ish

A quick sketch inspired by a photo of a KPop personality.

Choose Your Year

This one that I had hoped to complete by New Years Day.

Its titled "Choose Your Year." I believe that while we may not be able to control the events going on around us, we can control how react to them and thereby choose the way we perceive the year ( which is the message of this painting.).

A Quick Cutie

I've neglected the blog for the last few weeks, so here's a quick one to prime the posting pump!

Gun Guy

Just goofing around with a pose from a Manga "how to" book. Their example was a Joker-esque character, holding a stylized knife. I liked the pose and body shape, so I played with the costume design and weaponry. This is what I came up with.

Pet Peeve Series - The "Mute" Point

This is one of those misuses of a word or phrase that is like nails on a chalkboard to me. This is just me trying to do my part to educate and illuminate. Being a visual artist, I use my art to help express my opinion on the subject.

Mute: Refraining from producing speech or vocal sound.

MOOT: Of no practical importance; irrelevant. A moot point is a point that doesn't matter any longer because circumstances have changed.

Disclaimer: Do I always use the correct words, terms, phrases or context? Nope. Am I a member of "The Word Police?" Nope, again. I'm just doing my bit to help folks avoid embarrassment by offering the correct usage of this particular phrase. No claim of superiority is implied or assumed on my part!

A "Continuation"

I came across this portrait that I'd painted in 2006. I decided to push it a little farther and mostly liked the result.

Digital oils and impasto.

Color Vibrations

A "two-fer" this time. Sketching for practice and relaxation while experimenting with creating visual vibrations with color.
