Pardon My Dust
February 4, 2012
I’m not very happy with the new layout of the blog and I”m also having a bit of a time trying to find a new one that I’m happy with. I have a few sketches I want to show, however, I really want to figure out this whole “take attractive pictures” thing I have been [...]

Exes and Hoes
January 30, 2012
Disclaimer: I don’t personally believe she is a ho, it just isn’t very often I think of such a witty title. Actually I don’t even know if she left the guy and started dating my ex, nor do I care. I did not stick around that ridiculous situation long enough to find [...]

Love From The IWS
January 19, 2012
The Illinois Watercolor Society has their promotional poster out for this year’s National Exhibition. Yep, that’s my painting in the upper right. I wish they would have added a credit, especially since I’m not a member, but whatever. I’m happy to be picked for it.

How To Choose The Right Color For Your Space
January 17, 2012
In the middle of last year I moved and found myself trying to decorate a new studio after only a few months in my previous one. The new space had the particularly tough challenge of lime green floors. There are only a few colors that could go with that floor. The first step with [...]

Hello 2012! Goodbye 2011!
January 11, 2012
I have been debating on whether or not to do a recap/preview post. I’m still not sure. Lots of changes happened in 2011. I also had to confront a few fears. It’s all good though and while a few things still hang in the air, I’m doing my best to put one foot in front [...]

Studio Tour
December 26, 2011
This room holds a bit of sentimental value for me. This was my Grandpa’s man cave, in his “big” garage. Yeah, he had two. Not only did he hang out in this room, but my dad lived in the room for awhile and he used it to come and study for his Air [...]

Yupo!
December 23, 2011
I decided to try my hand at some Yupo paper. I really enjoy doing quick sketches, but I’m not sure how I would manage a finished painting. I have yet to find a worthy subject for a good ole college try. All sketches are between 10 and 30 minutes. I didn’t time myself. My 4th [...]
