Newspaper Dispensers!

While sketching at the local cafe I happened to look out the window and saw these interesting looking newspaper dispensers. Its so interesting to see how many different variations there were within inches of each other. I mean, there were 8 all in a row with different colors, shapes and functions!!!




Pen and Watercolors

Commute Sketch- An Interesting Human Being

Wow...just when I thought I had seen it all in my commutes.....Saw this interesting human being get into the bus the other day. He totally had the adolf haircut going on, a super shiny shirt (which I wish I could've done a better job reproducing...sigh....), tight , dark brown leather pants and last but not least, a shiny letter G for a beltbuckle. I don't know where he was headed or what he does.....anybody care to hazard a guess???



He was standing in front of me the entire time which means I couldn't just take the sketchbook out and start drawing. I just kept stealing glances and tried to memorize his looks (trying my hardest not to laugh, of course) and then did a sketch as soon as I got the chance. Then I got home and inked the ruff sketch and colored it with watercolors. Enjoy!

Winter....

Hey everyone...well winter is upon us and up here in the Bay area things have been getting a bit wet and cold. I decided to experiment a little by using a thicker pen to capture the "mucky" quality of the weather.


I was lucky too because the ink would bleed a little more with this type of pen and sort of dirty up the paper a little bit. Then I went in and layered a cold blue grey with the computer to finish them up.
Stay warm everyone and stay tuned for more!!

At the train depot

Hey bloggers! This here is a painting I did at the train depot at Redwood City where buses, (along with people) sit around and wait awhile. That tree was quite wierd because it had green leaves on the bottom and red ones at the top. My only guess is that the sun turned them that way. Sorry the front of the bus is cut off too but that's the edge of the sketchbook:)

Kamuc!!

I drew this the other day on my lunch break.....for those of you who dont know who this is, please take a look at GABRIELE'S blog. He's a talented artist that I have had the pleasure of working with for a few years and his blog just had its one year anniversary!! Gabri, thanks for being such a good teacher and friend. Come back and visit us up here again:)

Commute Sketch- Jheri Curl!!!!

Today, the power of the Jheri Curl will be unleashed upon us. I saw this guy today on the train typing away on his laptop. He may or may not have been aware of his awesome coolness as his rampant jheri curl bobbed like slinkies on the train. Adding to the coolness was how wet and greasy the thing looked. I was just awestruck....How long did it take him to make it look like that every morning? Is he a mack-daddy chick magnet as he walks into a bar in the city? Lets all take a moment and bow before the Jheri Curl gods for unleashing this guy upon us today.
