Halloween

Boo

Long Horn Sheep

They look innocent enough don't they, but I'm pretty sure one of these sheep stole my wallet last night.

Happy Birthday Karen

Today is my sister's birthday. I hope it's a good one.

My Right Foot

Since taking the time to draw my right foot, my left foot has stopped talking to me. I'm going to have to give it the sock without the whole in it to try to make amends.

Angie at the Museum

I'd done a couple of drawings before turning my attention to Angie. She was the picture of concentration and that always makes for a great subject. I. once again have posted her drawing below. The figure behind Angie is Chad Wallace. To see what he was up to go to links and click on......you can work it out from there.

Angie's Drawing

I'm loving her enthusiam

Night at the Museum

Last night was the drawing class at the Museum of Natural History, every Friday you get a museum drawing, at least for the next few weeks. I didn't take the time to find out what these animals were but what ever they were they looked like this.....ish.

Nudes

These were done ay the Society of Illustrators on Tuesday night. Angie and I have been going pretty consistantly since my MA program was completed. Life drawing is always a challenge but a night at the Society is always a good time. Angie's drawing is posted below.

Angie's Life Drawing

Angie is really passionate about drawing lately and is making huge strides.

Nude

My sister made a comment recently that all draw is nudes and bars, I don't agree with her findings but after yesterdays bar, heres a nude. Hi Karen.

Last Call

Once I'm a few drawings in I allow myself to get more expressive. These drawings are more interesting to me and certainly a direction I want to pursue,

Angie at Under the Pines

Under the Pines is a great restaurant in Highland Lake. We'll be back to try Carol's award winning home cooking.

Sarah

Sarah is with child. I'm going to attempt another drawing today to try and do her more justice.

Rained On

Yes folks, summers finaly over. This is a pleasant little weekend scene though. I'm up at Susie ans Ed's cabin stealing wifi. I'm a modern day Bill Sykes.

Megaloceros

these were prehistoric deer with enormous antlers that were used to attract the ladies. Isn't nature grand? They used to shed these antlers every year and regrow them. This particular deer coined the phrase "Antler Envy"

Black Finn

Lunch time special, the Black Finn is on 53rd and 3rd. It's the bar I found to replace JD's which was closed down by the health department. I miss JD's, they had the best chilli, the health department didn't agree.

Nude

This was from last nights haul at the Society of Illustrators. I dragged myself there after a long day but then felt like I'd had a really good night.

nude

Still trying to keep it simple.

Quick Trip

For those of you unfamiliar with Brooklyn, I was in Paris this weekend.

Craft Fair

I like these craft fairs and flea markets, they're great for drawing and hey, you never know when your going to stumble on a missing Van Gough.

Johnny Mack's

This is a great place in Park Slope. 8th ave and 12th street. It's what I'd call a real Brooklyn bar but then what would I know, I'm English.

Camel

Another drawing session at the Museum of Natural History. This is the skeleton of a small camel.......unfiltered

Study of my Dad

people always remark about how much I look like my dad so it's also a study of my future self.

Clothing Optional

Yesterday was clothing optional day at work. It's supposed to increase productivity but I think I'd have to see the figures on that.

The Tea Lounge

is in Park Slope. A large open space, the land of laptops.

Brooklyn Bridge

I could probably fill a sketch book with drawings of this bridge alone. I sold this bridge to a tourist once, not something I'm proud of but I did give him a good price.

Loose

I'm pushing a little bit to change the way I'm drawing so this one really pleased me because I allowed myself to loosen up.

Gils

Gils is Angie's cousin which makes her my cousin through marrige once removed and then put back really quickly before anybody noticed

Bones

Last night we went to a drawing class at the Museum of Natural History. It was great to be let loose in such a place after hours. We'll be going each week for a while so there will be a few such drawings coming. A great class, I learned a lot. I don't think they feed their dinosaurs enough though.

Quick Bite

at the Walker St Tavern.

life Drawing

Back to the Society last night and we took Iain and Gillian with us. Very impressed that Gillian did some drawing and even more impressed with the results (posted below) I think everbody should draw and Gillian, who works in the science field, is a prime example of someone who should keep at it.

Gillian's drawing

She'll do

Norman's Truck

Norman stopped by to see me drawing his truck and a fine truck it is too.

John Deer

Abandoned his bulldozer outside the Stanton house so we hot wired it and took it for a joy ride. It's diceptively quick, we had it up to 95 on the freeway untill we broadsided it and hit a deer, ironicaly called John. What are the chances
