Bronx Zoo at La Cita




Did these earlier today at a bar downtown, La Cita. They host a weekly drawing show where girls pose in bikinis and wear gorilla masks. I pretty much laughed the entire time.

These are a collection of some five and eight minute poses that I've done recently after work. Done with a Pilot HI-TEC-C pen, pencil and Tria markers.

Cornelius "Elzy Williams" McGinnis



Lately it looks like I am obsessed with funny hats, large mustaches and lots of hair... draw what you know, right?

Flowers for Algernon



The title doesn't really mean anything other than the thought that comes to mind when I read it. Anyways... I have just been introduced to Gouache and this is my first full little painting. I then used Photoshop to create a few other color ideas. Do you know which one is the original?

Here's a few more lighting studies from 8 1/2, Apocalypse Now and Fight Club. Used the full range of Tria Markers for these.

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.

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).

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.
