Some quick Rebecca Guay studies in gouache. When I played Magic the Gathering in the 90s I’d run five color all Rebecca Guay decks and lose miserably. Her work is a big reason I became an illustrator.
A few sketches from last night on my new, more compact sketch easel setup. I like being able to control the angle of the substrate independent of the tray surface in this design
Some sketchbook drawings from NYC, the drop-in figure drawing night that I run at school, and from a recent artist talk. And also a Scully in gouache
Today’s other project is this James Gurney style sketch easel. Just need a few small parts and it’s good to go
I tried painting in gouache from a model for the first time to mixed results
I like watching the Criterion closet pick videos but not enough of them pick Salo. I want them all to pick Salo.
Some figure drawings from tonight and a Scully painting from this morning

Hershey park butterflies with my lovely partner who I am very lucky to have
Posting less on other apps means that my vanity gym pics come over here
Some small gouache paintings from last year. Trying to get my head back together so that I can get back to making new work.
I’m happy to say that my Tetsuo: The Iron Man poster was included on the long list in the first @booooooom Illustration awards!
