Wind Machine Sketch

Feels like ages, but I finally have a new sketch ready to be painted. Fairly large piece, 17x30 inches.

Inklings 3 coming soon!

Inklings 3 proofs arrived in the mail today! This latest installment will be 58 pages, a little bit longer than the previous two books. Softcover, 8.5x8.5 inches. Features ink artwork that I've done in the past two years 2010-2011. It includes about 20 stand-alone full page ink drawings, many vignettes, 110 keyword card art pieces, and about 30 of my private travel sketchbook drawings.

This should hopefully be available in January. Here are some previews:

For my personal Christmas cards this year, if I can get around to getting them printed up and mailed in time, moving at the snail's pace I've been going this year! Played around with my box of blue magic from Kremer. I love these pigments!

Some of the sketches and in progress shots:

Sketchbook scribbles. Brainstorming.


More sketchbook brainstorming.


Playing with composition in photoshop, combined face and tilt of head and neck from one sketch with the attitude and pose of the body from another. I liked the movement that the diagonal from her arms created. The second figure felt too static. But her expression suited what I wanted.


Finalized transfer sketch.

The strange and beautiful tie of the rules of mathematics and physics, to the organic wonder and growth of life and nature.
