One of the last drawings for my “Kids Play . . .” coloring book. (I actually finished the last two images for the book this week, and will be moving to post production).
I originally wasn’t going to include Lacrosse, but I had to many requests for it to ignore!
Just finished up the inks for the “Kids Play . . .” cover. Still have some work to do on the interior pages, but it’s coming along. This is the first of my (12) coloring books to have its’ own stand alone cover which is not an interior page.
Being a “hand draw” artist, I guess this makes me something of a dinosaur! Let’s keep humans in the arts. And I don’t mean the human creating or using AI to steal our work!
Fresh off the drawing board – Spidey-Man inks! This was a cover I started during the comic book class I held this Summer. Took a little while to get to this point. Sorry, but I had other deadlines that came first. I will be doing this in full color, too!
Image from my latest coloring book, “Kids Play . . .” I know, the whole “Army” thing is a bit dated, but it was always fun! At least they’ll like the lego’s
Another piece to commemorate my hospital stay – and the fine treatment I received there! Although they treated me quite well, much of this is based in reality! Especially the Doctor practicing his “Operation”!!!
Here are the inks for my latest set of ‘Clamcakes.’ These are all hand done. I’m quite old school that way, kind of. While I can do these digitally, I much prefer the hand drawn approach. At the same time, I can do them (and have done them) with the really old school Crow Quill pen(s) and ink well. I love inking them that way, but it takes longer. So, I use Fudenasuke “brush” pens and Micron pens.
In this era of everything being digital, particularly with the advent of AI, I feel it’s more important than ever to keep these techniques alive! And, until they come up with an autopen for drawing, this will remain a human endeavor.
Just finished this set of caricatures for a client as Christmas presents:
Just finished this piece for a client, 18×24″. They’re getting ready to celebrate 97 years in business! It is a handsome building, isn’t it?
