Found in my sketch book, yet another figure drawing. This is part of a series of gesture drawings I will be posting over the next few days in a bid to make up for my lack of posts over the last couple of days. A gesture drawing is a quickly drawn sketch where the artist does not lift his pencil from the paper and does not correct the work after the fact. I really enjoy this type of sketch as it let’s me release the work quickly and keeps me from screwing up the piece by thinking to much. The work was created Fall semester, 1999 while attending UNO.

Today’s photograph depicts a small group of birds fleeing from visitors to the park. The work is successful because of the sense of action shown mixed with the relaxing group of gulls down the rail. I really like how one bird seems to be floating just off center in the image. The photo was taken January 16, 2005. This Friday is Free For All Friday, so please remember to come back to this site to participate. Click through to see a larger version of the work.

This Photoshop project was created using an interesting pattern I made using a doodle and a photo. The ensuing creation lent itself to a weird tree like shape. When repeated, it became an evil spin that I cropped into this successful abstract work. I am in the process of creating a couple of computer desktop wallpapers based on this design that i hope to put up in the future. This work was created February 18, 2005.

This logo was created as part of a continuing project to design a blog for my wife and some friends. The site is to be based around books so I sketched some books as shown using a stylus in Flash. The logo was kept purposely colorful and lighthearted so it could connotate a childish tone. The work was created October 25, 2004. Click through to see a larger version of the work.

Found in my sketch book is a nicely drawn set of curves whose shadowing may cause the viewer to take pause. I think I intended the curves to practice my figure drawing and meant them to hint at more than they rally are. This sketch reminds the viewer of the female form without explicitly giving away the show which helps to keep the piece interesting. The work was created Fall semester, 1999 while attending UNO.

Today we have the necessary Valentine’s post. The photo was taken of my wife and myself while wondering the park. This picture shows an entertaining scene of nicely framed shadows. The work is appropriately posted on this the end of Valentine’s because I proposed to my wife on the 15th of February 2002. This photo was taken January 17, 2005.
