Ugolino and His Sons

This is a quick study from my favorite sculpture at the Met, Jean-Baptiste Carpeaux's Ugolino and His Sons.

From Dante's Inferno, this sculpture depicts the moment when Ugolino, condemned to die of starvation, yields to the temptation to devour his children and grandchildren, who cry out to him:

But when to our somber cell was thrown
A slender ray, and each face was lit
I saw in each the aspect of my own,
For very grief both of my hands I bit,
And suddenly from the floor arising they,
Thinking my hunger was the cause of it,
Exclaimed: Father eat thou of us, and stay
Our suffering: thou didst our being dress
In this sad flesh; now strip it all away.

Happy Birthday to the bro.

The City, Snow, a Tree and Me

This post marks number 50.  Hope you all have a Happy Holidays wherever you are.  New York City, I look forward to my return next year.  Oh... and there's a bit of a peaking mountain back there too (just deal with it Savage).

Happy Thanksgiving... a Few Days Late

Pass the Peace Pipe to the Right Hand Side

Took me until the middle of the month to finally drop some Thanksgiving inspired art... but in the spirit of sharing and giving... here you go.

They Are Still There

Ale and the 40

It was Alessandro's 30th birthday last Monday. I was told that he likes drawings. This started as a little sketch during a production meeting. I was having fun with it so I continued it for a few days. Happy Birthday Ale!

Juan Pablo Valdez Escobar Martinez

This guy usally hangs at the Side Bar; an old bar I used to work at. He was quite the character.




Pig Bear

She used to work with me. I was in love with her.

My Witch Hazel

Alright... last witch for awhile, I promise. Broke out the pencils for the first time in a long time and had a lot of fun. Maybe I should start focusing on some Pilgrims shooting Indians (and Turkey) for the next holiday series.

Happy Challah Ween

I am obsessed with drawing Witches. Instead of focusing my creative energies on a costume this year, I decided to just keep doodling witches. I have a few more to come. And now you have my home address if you want to send me anything... or stalk me. I am okay with both.

Off They Flew

This is my bird that I submitted to LittleBird Gallery's Griffith Park Benefit Art Show, "Off They Flew." I was happy to see a little red dot next to it when I arrived opening night a few Saturdays ago. It really was a wonderful show with some great artwork by some great artists. If you would like to see some other pieces, go to: http://littlebirdgallery.com/offtheyflew.htm Enjoy!

Closer Inspection in Color

Faaaabu du!

I have the city of Austin to thank for this one. This is the man to get a haircut from if you live there or visit.

Gabe Dropping the Evilness

Bringing it back to 2003 for this one.

A Lighting Exercise

The following are some quick sketches I did from movies for a lighting exercise. Each one is drawn with a black brush pen and a grey Prismacolor marker. The white areas were left white. Each is at the actual size I drew them in.
