Doodles on blue

Doodle on blue 2 - 6" x 6" - paint pen on paper


Paint pens are fun! Just messing around to see how it feels, but it's nice to be able to draw in detail on a dark surface so easily.

Good times--

This is sort of cheating since I was just fooling around with my camera... but I didn't have much time to draw this weekend. ah well. I still think it came out kind of neat =)

"Orange" - WIP

"Orange" - WIP - watercolor and ink on wood - 12" x 12"


I really like how this one is starting. The grain of the wood fits with my wash so well! Almost don't want to touch it anymore... =)

haha, and i just realized that the metal bracket under the painting looks like domo-kun's face. hilarious.

"Arrows" - WIP

"Arrows" - WIP - ink and acrylic on cardstock - ~10" x 10"


Long day at work on the weekend = blegh. ... Here's something I've been working on for a bit.

'night!

Post it doodle

"Post it doodle" - pen on a post it note...


work work work... it'll be nice when macworld is over and we can take a break =P

Doodle on black

"Doodle on black" - acrylic on mat board - ~9" x 5"


Experimenting with painting on a dark canvas -- it turned out pretty cool. The actual piece of mat board is 25" long (leavings from a previous project) so i might continue on this one and fill out the whole thing!

Happy weekend!

Arrow Tree

"Arrow Tree" - mixed media on wood - 5" x 5"


More experimentation on wood. I forgot how much I like arrows -- used to draw them all the time back in school =)

Another doodle

"Another Doodle" - ink on paper


Nothing special. Just another random doodle... Went to bed early, so no time to paint anything fun. Ah well, sleep is good sometimes too.

"Too Big"

"Too Big" - mixed media on wood - 5" x 5"


I'm really liking these new wood panels I got at Blick art supply -- the wood grain makes for a really nice backing =) I think I'll make a series of these...

Also, new camera! Hooray, no more crappy phone / snapshot pictures.

"The Visit"

"The Visit" - ink, watercolor and acrylic on wood


Trying some smaller format pieces. Happy Monday.

"Search"

"Search" - mixed media on cardboard


I really like how this one turned out! Simple, but poignant (or at least that's how I feel about it.) This is actually drawn on the cardboard backing for some bristol paper -- ink, watercolor and acrylics. Mmm, I need to explore this kind of style more =).

Cheers

Work in progress - "Red Robot"

"Red Robot" - work in progress - acrylic and ink on canvas


Hmm, the picture came out kind of dark. Ah well. Here's a new thing I've been working on =)

"Descent"

"Descent" - acrylic on cardboard - 6" x 4"

Painted this on a random piece of cardboard, and I really like how it turned out! It seems like my cityscapes always end up being some version of Chicago, interestingly enough.

Happy Friday!

"Blue"

"Blue" - acrylics on board - 14" x 11"


Painted this tonight, i really like how it turned out! Acrylics can be so expressive -- definitely get a different feeling from them than from watercolors.

Good times, short week, tomorrow's friday!

Cheers

Green Mountan - WIP

"Green Mountain" - WIP - ink and watercolor on board


Lots of experimenting -- watercolor is at the same time more forgiving and less manageable when not on paper... still fun to try though!

In other news, i'm pissed because i didn't get to work out today. it seems like everyone and their mother was in the gym. Maybe everyone's trying to get a good start on their new years resolution.

Hello 2008

"Hello 2008" - ink on paper


It's been a fun break, but it'll be good to get back to work tomorrow. Lots o' stuff to get done.

Happy New Year everyone!
