Posting much later on.

It was a slow night at Drink & Draw.

Justin G. and I were the only attendees.

I did more drawings on transit.

Doodles at the pub.

More on the train. Always next time.

Thanks for visiting.

WIP Sketch Out.

Here are two versions of OZ Warriors...getting a little more

elaborate and involved. I started the inks at the last show,

will post the finished page on the weekend.

I am playing around with a few more characters and the story

to tie it all in. Below are Frankenstein and Werewolf.

Having lots of fun with these posters.

Thanks for visiting.

Angel with Swords.

I started this one a week ago and finished

inking at the Tattoo Show. (A little slow

for traffic on the first day- I made use of

the time.) This month is turning out a lot

of ink work..."Inktober" is something

I heard coined, for a group of Artist

producing inked work for the month.

Thanks for visiting.

Beauty and the Beast Inked.

Sometimes you start a drawing with a few odd shapes,

a whisper of an idea and things fall into place.

I dug out my pen and nibs...and things flowed from there,

the lines dictated direction and energy.

This was a fun little project, and this gives me more ideas

and inspiration to draw more.

Thanks.

Snake Charmer Inks.

This was done with the #0 Windsor Newton brush

with Faber Castell finishes for detail. I was trying to make

pin ups with little or no backgrounds...props suggesting more

of a story. Sometimes things get away from me and the drawing

asks for more. This was the case on this piece, I kept on adding snakes

growing organically like the brush strokes.

Thanks for visiting.

Pin-Up 2.

It has been a productive weekend, giving up a bit of Family time,

but I am making more art.

"Snake Charmer" has me on the right track,

more developed and involved.

This is my take on "Beauty and the Beast".

The weaponry and props adds a little more

to the story.Could be fun to tell.

Inks take a little longer...check back later.

Thanks for visiting.

Pin-Up 1.

I have the Tattoo Expo happening soon, we have an artist group

set up, selling pin-up artwork. I am making some last minute

additions to my inventory.

I don't like to rush things, but deadlines have to be made.

The final inks are done with a Widsor Newton sable brush,

instead of the Kuretake refillable (which has started to loose its point).

I paid extra for those brushes, but well worth it. Dipping into ink,

loading the brush does take longer. Getting into a rhythm is key.

I am happy with the result.

Thanks for visiting.
