Spotted Moray WIP

I've been plugging away on the moray...here's where it stands right now. I can see the light at the end of the tunnel! woo!

This is a gallery of old work I did using oekaki, a neat little japanese drawing program. Enjoy!

Spotted Moray WIP

I'm currently working on something new, a spotted moray eel. This piece is 11 X 14 on bristol board (as usual) and done with rapidograph pens- a 2x0 and a 3x0. I put it together from a few references and I think the composition works well. This is about 12 or 15 hours' worth of work so far, and puts me about halfway done.

More Art Show Pics

I finally got around to resizing some pics and uploading them, so here they are! Enjoy!

My First Art Show...a Success!

I entered my piece "Ruler of the Night Skies" in the Saint Augustine Art Association's "black and white" show this month and came out with 4th place. Not bad for a first effort.

The worst part was waiting for the show itself. The butterflies were pretty busy, if you know what I mean. Once I got there, it wasn't too bad. I was expecting it to be a bit snobby to be honest, but everyone I met was very nice. After the awards ceremony, we meandered around, looking at all the wonderful artwork on display, sipping wine and chatting with the other guests. I took a few photos of the artwork and here they are.

best in show. huh?

















I've been told that I kinda got screwed here, (and I tend to agree) but I'm happy with the results. I got my entry fee back with the prize check, and I got my name out there, and a LOT of compliments on my work, so no complaints. Nowhere to go but up, right? More later...
