Illustration Friday - Theory

Conspiracy Theories. There are many about the murders of Tupac and Biggie and based on the war of words that preceded the killings there was a woman involved. 3 oil pastel drawings combined digitally

Illustration Friday - Choose

We all have to choose between good and evil. Having just finished the Harry Potter series this seemed a logical choice for the subject. The Buddha and the witch are copied from wall paintings in monasteries in Bhutan

Illustration Friday - Blanket

one of my favourite old drawings is this quick pencil sketch I did of my then 5 year old daughter asleep in the early morning while we were on vacation. At the same time I wrote and illustrated a little children's book for her about a mouse and his various animal friends (how original was that?) and here they have spread out a blanket for a celebratory picnic and party. The mashup of the two seems to fit the topic. Frightening to think that my daughter is turning 30 this year.

Illustration Friday - Tales & Legends

A Knight's Tale is the only film with Heath Ledger I have seen, in light of his untimely death this seems appropriate for the topic

Illustration Friday - Plain

As plain as the nose on his face. Probably the most famous nose of all time. Pastel on plain white paper.

Illustration Friday - Stitch

Knitting in Naxos. A few months after we were married in 1975 my wife and I took an extended vacation. We rented a small apartment for a month on the beautiful Greek island of Naxos. At one end of the town was a rocky beach with a great view of the town and the harbour. I would do some sketching and painting while my wife read or knitted. I still have some of those old sketches so I've pasted together a pencil sketch of the town and one of her knitting and applied some other digital changes. Don't know what stitch she was using.
