Finch-Spawn Ink Practice.

 This is my little invention, a tiny cup within a cup, used for inking.

I drilled two holes on a twist off lid of a dollar store container.

The smaller cup is a hairspray lid cover, two sizes fitted together,

so it is removable for cleaning. The larger container is for water.

The brush or nib is not over saturated using this method, keeping

a lighter touch when "loading" the brush.

 Brush stroke practices, line variation and control.

Inking is always something I enjoy doing, but I've only

inked my own work. I thought I would try an experiment,

inking another artist's pencils.

I chose Spawn drawn by Dave Finch,

who has a very organic line work that I can work with.

I started with the cape and hand.

Surprisingly, I can work faster on someone else s finished pencils.

The guess work is left out for the most part.

 I should be able to finish this in one sitting.

So far so good, figure is done.

I will post the finished page soon as it is done.

Thanks for visiting.

Happy New Year!

 I've been working more with Sketchbook Pro

over the holidays. Learned more about using the tools

properly, and that has made a huge difference.

 I am creating new work for upcoming conventions,

still deciding on subjects/themes to draw.

Any requests?

Thanks for visiting.

One Tree, One Year.

Variations on a tree...

through time.

One Tree, One Year.

This image has taken one year to complete. A picture taken every couple of days...

there is more experimentation to come.

 I walk by this tree every day. I decided to take a picture to record it's growth in one year.

From season to season, week by week. I think very few people stop to appreciate this tree,

to sit under its shade or taste its fruit. I have enjoyed watching it grow and will share it with everyone

who recognizes the beautiful things that are around us everyday.

Thanks for visiting.

More explorations with Photoshop.

Edgar Allan Poe has always held a fascination to my imagination

in my formative years. His language and imagery has a lasting 

influence with many Artists.

I will be creating more new work in time for the 2013 CCEE.

I will be at Artist Alley again surrounded by many friends and collogues. 

Come by and see us and many of our creations.

Thank you.
