Lack of updates.. (edit: 6/12)

Been slacking on the art updates, I'm working on some larger projects that are taking a lot of boring development and some experimental paintings that aren't worth showing just yet. Here's a crop of another large drawing that isn't quite completed.
(Edit: Posted up a shot showing the rest of that drawing, it's about 18 inches tall.)











































Thanks for stopping in, more stuff real soon!

Wanderlust Photography

I've been spending a lot of time traveling and admittedly don't have very much new drawing and painting as a result. What I do have is about 3000 photographs. On this trip I put some effort into taking pictures just for the sake of pictures. Here are a few shots from Oklahoma, New Mexico and Colorado.
(Note: a couple of these were shot by Larissa, who also provided the nice SLR I was shooting with.)

While flying to Spain...

Doing some sketching out of my head while traveling inspired by the Explosions In the Sky album "Those Who Tell The Truth Shall Die, Those Who Tell The Truth Shall Live Forever" which has this subtitle on the cover that says "Help Us Stay Alive".

I decided to just start posting all the things I have piled up over the next several days rather than making one massive post with everything.

European Adventure

Here's a little drawing until I can get together the rest of my photos and sketches and make a larger post related to my trip overseas.

Hope everyone is well, it's taken me about 5 hours straight to go through the 700 blog entries I've been missing!

Hiatus.

Here's a few studio shots before I go out of the country. I'm off to Portugal, France, Czech Republic and Spain with my girlfriend Larissa for 4 weeks - going to soak up as much art as possible and have a great time.
I've been experimenting quite a bit, if you'll forgive the complete inconsistency I've been showing lately - Hopefully I'll have some pieces that make sense in their complete forms, soon.

Thanks for your time! Updates when I get home!
