I got a really nice surprise email the other day. a little while ago I posted this picture which was inspired by the incredible photographs of Daniel Miller. Well, the other day I got a very nice email from Mr. Miller. please visit his exhibition, his work is beautiful, inspiring and revealing.

Thumbs

I'm trying to post these days but it's pretty hard because of all the work I have and the funny thing is it's all thumbnails. I haven't done a finished drawing in ages, all my art has been in the above form. It's actually much harder then i thought. Sort of like pre-editing.I'm also entering my last week of teaching, a bit of a transitional time right now.

Sketch

Sketch Book Alien

Here's a pencil sketch from my sketch book of an alien.

Conte sketch

Here's a quick sketchbook sketch from my head. I'm pretty stressed right now, lots and lots of work coming up. It's all work I'm excited about about though.There's a number of things conspiring to make me feel stressed : work, my mom's still in the hospital, a 7 month old boy etc. etc.  The trip to Toronto is looming as well. I'm busy making mixed CDs and buying new clothes for the trip. I want to have some comfortable jeans and sneakers this summer. I always buy expensive leather shoes which fall apart in no time because I walk so much.

Alien Moon

Another old piece from 2000. I did mostly pen and ink then and would work obsessively to fill the paper with lines. I'm a bit more restrained now. I did this piece on illustartion board which I used for a while.

An Alien From An Old Comic

Here's an unfinished page from an unfinished science fiction comic. While I abandoned this comic a lot of the ideas sort of morphed into Robot Museum which I'm still working on and preparing for the day I have the time to do it.

Stone Eater

Another old goblin picture. 

Happy Mother's Day!

Greenish Mermaid

Here's an old watercolour over pencil piece from University.

Watching Miyazaki

A colour pencil doodle I did while watching Nausicaa. It's a bit stiff but I like it anyway.

Grass Traveler

What fun! I did a drawing today just for the joy of it and it felt great.It's hard to do this when you feel totally committed to a work but I think it's important to do work just for the joy of it.Take your pencil for a walk.

Goblin drinking Beer In Snowstorm,,,

Here's an old drawing I did in pen and ink.
