Matthew H. Plainview - Updated



Added some smoke coming out of the pipe.

Johanus "Jackson-Bang!" Davees



Of course I am still drawing guys with top hats and moustaches. Used a good friend's name for the title.

Vlad and His Fairy



I met a French girl for drinks who inspired me with her essay on fairies (published) to try something with my character and hers.

Street Lamps



Here are some various street lamps designs inspired by the street lamps in Paris.

Small Gouache Painting Study



First attempt of painting the girl reading a book with gouache... still getting used to this type of paint... but having a lot of fun with it.

Girl Reading a Book



Digital study done to be painted later.

Vampyrs



Places de Vosges - Digital Paint

Place de Vosges



This drawing is of a building located at the Place de Vosges... well, actually, it's just one little portion of many buildings that surround a nice park and square. Victor Hugo, the great Parisian writer (Les Misérables and the Hunchback of Notre Dame to name the notable ones) once lived here. It truly is a great place to get work done. This is the inked in sketch.

Parisian Building Study



I started this drawing the first day in Paris. I was very inspired to just try to draw one of it's buildings. I then worked on the inking over the following couple of days.

Wait! Come Back!

I have decided to return here with the drawings I have decided to do since going to Europe and going forward. I feel that they are too spread out from all the pictures and writing and I want this blog to be ongoing. So please return if you have gone away and just want to look at artwork...

In Europe

If anyone is wondering why I have not posted in awhile, it is because I am in Europe for the summer and have started a new blog to follow my travels. It will include stories, pictures, drawings and paintings that I complete during my adventure. If you'd like to check in, the url is:

Be back here after the summer.

Cheers!

Neptune - The Picture Book Project



A friend of mine is putting together a coloring book for orphaned children and asked if I would do an illustration. So here's the black and white for the kiddies and my colored version. I'll keep you posted on the progress of the book. If you'd like to see more from the book, check out www.picturebookproject.blogspot.com
