I seem to be spending a great deal of time on the subway lately.

Stop by tomorrow and you might just see the step by step on this one.

Drawing Academy

I'm always up for this event, teaching children at the Society of Illustrators, they are always fun to be with, full of energy and surprises. all mornings should be like this.

Zooey Deschanel Demo

Here is a seven step demonstration of a gouache technique I use, with this one you can clearly see how I'm removing paint toward the end. as I have often said, less is more.

Here are 6 sketches for a new book cover project, it's the first step in the process and I expect there will be more sketches to do.

Happy Valentines

Party Time

Judgement

Nobody likes being judged, do they?

I did this in an hour for a class.

Subway Sketches

It's  been a while since I posted a subway sketch, it's been a while since I've done one, I've got to get back into the habit.

Another one from the White Horse Tavern.

The Spirit World

I drew this whilst waiting for a pizza at Baker's Tap in Barryville. It's a great pizza.

Paperwight

This was the very first Ipod, I didn't last long, I brought it in 2002 when it was a height of technology, now it just looks silly. It does make a good paperweight though.

Drinking and texting, yes indeed.

Tractor

Here is a quick sketching demo I did for a class last year, I would have taken it a it further but I had to focus on everyone else who was drawing.

Look, I drew a skull.
