R.I.P. Bobby Womack....

Bobby Womack (March 4, 1944 - June 27, 2014) was one of my favorite singers. "You're Welcome, Stop On By", "Woman's Gotta Have It" and his version of "California Dreamin'" are a few of my favorite songs. Here's a drawing I did in Photoshop of Mr. Womack....may he Rest In Peace..

As always, thanks for coming by!

Quick (dirty) Sketch

Here is a 30 minute sketch I did of my favorite comic character Norrin Radd (Silver Surfer to most of you)!!  Did this using my Wacom Tablet which is currently not working (grumble grumble) a few months ago!! As far as the Wacom Tablet not working, it looks like I may have to pony up some hard earned $$ and get a new one.....

Anyway, thanks for stopping by!!

Smiling Faces

...this started as a caricature loosely based on myself (see the shiny spot on the nose, and big-ass smile....see it?? I knew you would!) while listening to Gnarls Barkley's song "Smiley Faces" a few years ago....just added some color to it in a 25 minute timed session

Sketchy Character(s)

...been using my Wacom Tablet lately to create some characters, while getting used to drawing with NO pen or pencil (its kind of strange), but since everything is one click away, its become quite addictive!!  Those that follow my Deviant Art page will see a few *ahem* racier pictures that won't get posted here......well at least for now....in the meantime, here are two creations I laid down this week, while listening to a heap-load of hip-hop.....

Thanks for stopping by!!!

For my curvy, hippie, thick-thighed ladies....

...or perhaps me!!  Drew this waaaaaay back in '06.  Motivation for this came a la a "curvy" young lady whom I had not to long ago befriended!!

and finally added some pizzaz to it.....

Still Cool

I've been listening to a lot of Miles Davis lately while working/playing. Did a little photo play with a pic of Miles himself. 

Bad Day....

More business cards...

I finished this design for a Navy recruiter.  Check it out!!

Digital Roughs

Listening to Gorillaz new album "Plastic Beach", I decided to give a serious attempt to coloring an old sketch I did about 2 years ago while I was a Senior Project Admin (fancy way to say data entry clerk).  Anyway, here it goes.....

New Art: The Planetarium

Ok, so the digital art isn't as scary as I previously said.  Its been a lot of fun messing around with filters, brushes, etc.  Enough about my new found joy for Photoshop, check the art:  Its a planet, some nebula and stars....this is what happens while creating and watching old school episodes of Voltron

Keeping busy......

...with designing some business cards.  There's quite a bit of thought that goes into putting these cards together.  Anyway, here are a couple of the designs I put together.......
