WORK IN PROGRESS end of day 1


This is an image that I am doing in the support of keeping these three men out of prison. For those of you who don't know these three real life bounty hunters captured convicted rapist and Max Factor heir Andrew Luster (convivted of 80+ counts of rape) when authorities couldn't or wouldn't. Now the Mexican government wants Dog, Tim, and Leland extradited back to face charges of illegal bounty hunting, even though Dog was working with Mexican authorities to capture Luster. Dog, Tim, and Leland face a possible sentence of several years in a Mexican prison.
It doesn't seem right that these three bounty hunters did the right thing by capturing a monster and now might loose there lives in a Mexican prision. Go to www.dogthebountyhunter.com and sign the petition to save there lives.

Watercolor Portrait

I did this real quick watercolor sketch a few years ago and decided that I liked it enough to share it with everyone. Enjoy!

Robert F. Kennedy

"I think we can end the divisions within the United States. What I think is quite clear that we can work together in the last analysis. And that what has been going on with the United States over the period of the last three years, the divisions, the violence, the disenchantment with our society, the divisions- whether it's between blacks and whites, between the poor and the more affluent, or between age groups, or in the war in Vietnam- that we can work together. We are a great country, an unselfish country and a compasionate country. And I intend to make that my basis for running."

WORK IN PROGRSS end of day 1

I saw that Brian Baumgartner (Kevin from "The Office") is a big fan of art, especially fan art. So I decided to do a quick portrait of him. This is the sketch to that portrait. He has this deal with fan that if you send him an autographed picture he will send one back. So I am going to send him an autographed copy of this portrait and see what kind of a response I get to my work. I am a GENIUS!

Here is a detail view.

Portrait of a Doctor

This is my most recent portrait. I just finished this last night (3.4.07). I have several more portraits that I am finishing up so keep an eye out for new ones.

Charcoal Study

This was a figure study that I did from a live model in charcoal. This is the piece of mine that gets the most attention in my portfolio when I show it around. It is a beautiful example of what I can do quickly. This drawing took less than an hour to do and I have to say that it is one of my favorites. Sadly when I packed up and moved to California from Ohio it got damaged beyond repair. I now take care of all of my of work.

DJ Brent

This portrait was done at the request of a local DJ. At first this painting looks clean and simple, like it should have been a quick turn around. WRONG. Painting smooth circles and other geometric shapes is a tedious and time consuming task.

Portrait for Christmas

This was a portrait commission that I got right before Christmas. I was contacted by a guy to do a portrait of his grandparents to be given as a gift. The photo that was given to me was of there first date! The couple has been married for more than 50 years and still going strong! I was told that they loved the portrait very much. I am happy that I could do his for them. Every portrait has a story.

Robbie Williams

I made a contact with an Art Director at Capitol Records so I decided to make an new illustration to send. I chose Robbie Williams because he is signed with Capitol Records.

The Great Bruce Campbell

I am a big fan of Bruce Campbell so I gave in to the urge to do a portrait of the "King of B Movies."

Ray Charles!

This is a painting that I did shortly after Ray Charles passed away.
