IF: Toy

Here is an older drawing of mine. Charcoal, graphite. 18x24".

Illustration Friday, Prehistoric...

IF's word this week is Prehistoric. While a tree sloth is not prehistoric, they certainly did have relatives that were. This cold snap (in FL) made me think of slothful movement, slow...., even though I do enjoy this colder weather! I used as my model a photograph from Muybridge's Animal Locomotion. Because you certainly wouldn't find any sloths hanging around in this weather. Hand drawn by me, in graphite.

Cocoon, Illustration Friday

This is a monoprint I did awhile back to illustrate a short story. The figure in the middle has a cocoon look to it, so I thought I would post this one. The original is 22" by 30".

Illustration Friday: Wilderness

This is my illustration for this week's (IF) word, Wilderness. Just working with Illustrator's pencil tool and a few easy effects. A quick drawing!

Modify, Illustration Friday for July 31, 2009

This is an itaglio print I did a while ago. Modify? The solidity of the block will soon modify the energy created by the activity of the orbs. The print is approximately 11" x 14".

This print was derived from observing the flight of sparrows in heavy traffic.
