New Art from Two Recent Shows

Here are three new pieces that are currently up in two different shows. Two are @ Intellegentsia on Colorado Blvd. in Old Town Pasadena and all three are up at Back to the Picture Gallery in downtown San Francisco. All works are either ink or graphite and colored digitally. Prints are available.

Tom Waits

Also done for the 20/20 group show as a book-end to the Iggy piece. I was very happy with the outcome of this one, as I labored over the sketch quite a bit. And to top it off, this piece sold within the first 10 minutes of the show. I still have a few glicee prints left for anyone interested.

Iggy

Done for the June 2011 20/20 Gallery Show in San Francisco.

WEZ!

I will be attending Wasteland Weekend http://wastelandweekend.com/ again this year in Sept., but this time as a vendor and will be selling Mad Max themed art prints and possibly t-shirts. This a is a work-in-progress pencil drawing of "Wez!", Max's little mohawked nemesis of the wasteland. Check back for more updates.

Charles Bronson

Did this one recently for a caricature contest. Came in 2nd out of about 50+ entrants. This is more an amalgam of the Charles Bronson movies I grew up with as a kid, like The Mechanic and the Deathwish flims. He's got such a great weathered face to draw, a face like a clenched-fist! One of the original tough guys for sure :)

Gary Sinise

Not sure where this photo was taken, but he had this crazed look in his eyes that I liked. Looks a bit psychotic in my final painting. Was really happy with the skin tones and his eyes.

Paul Giamatti

Here's Paul Giamatti from one of my favorite movies, Sideways. This is one of those cases where I liked both the sketch and the colored version. I opted to leave the glass out of the colored version because I didn't think it needed it, and also I think it conveys a deeper more contemplative feeling without it. I did for a moment entertain the idea of a mouse floating in the glass :)
