Pretty little Boat Maid

Gelatin print from Saturday Art Special.  This was based on going to Miller Outdoor Theater to see Taiko Drums.  They did a dance piece with a boat lady and a thunder god (with horn on head).  It was pretty funny.

Poster for upcoming show

I was asked to do a poster for an upcoming play by Center Stages. It's suppose to be in a Edward Gorey style. Lot's of fun to draw

Wednesday Night Life Drawing

This Wednesday, we had Jeremy model. He's playing Howie in the Center's production of "Our Town", so we had him in costume for some of the poses.

Howie delivering the milk.

Howie talking to Mrs. Webb.

This is not Howie, and it's a rather sad disheveled-looking hobo.

Here's a smart upwardly mobile individual, about to leap into the fray.

Anyway, hope you enjoy these drafts, I'll be posting some more as things progress.

Set Up Design

Well, here's a peek at the sets I helped design and build for a church play. I had a pretty laid out plan for what to put in the scene, but had some free reign on the construction and layout.

Notice the rocks, I had some fun with them. They are masonite panels cut into "rock" shapes with Great Stuff insulation sprayed onto them for texture. I explain this as making rocks by de-erosive means. However, for anyone that may be contemplating this technique be warned, it works better when it's warm.

Here's a closeup of the palm tree and rock. Well, there's not much to say about the palm. It's suppose to be a date palm. I think it reads ok. I was going for a 2-D popup book style, I think I got it.

Portrait

Birds Off a Wire

Got the idea for this sketch while driving home from work yesterday. There were several little birds on the wire, and they kept falling down to the ground like leaves. The way they moved was really cool, and although I know this didn't capture it, I wanted to try.

Atmosphere

What is the atmosphere? Is it the box or what's inside?

Light in the Grass

Another set painting. While walking to the store I got this great shot of a street light shining down on the grass. A mixture of nature and man's creation.

Cloud Stage

Sometimes things flatten out when I start to think about them, like stage sets. Here the cloud is reflected in the ground, continuing the flattening and simplifying.
