The Doe & Her Fawn

Hello friends.
Well, i'm sitting with my fam watching the animated Peter Pan for the second time in three days.
You have no idea how much i love this movie.
Every element, especially Miss Wendy!
She is wonderful! ;)
If only i could figure out how to climb into the tv and live in Neverland.... hmm.. next invention...

Well, i painted this picture today.
It's my own version of Bambi, i guess.
i saw this picture today, and couldn't help but draw it!
i really like how it turned out. Hope you like it!! :)

The Uncropped & Unedited Version

Hey-llooo,
I was looking though my folders today and stumbled onto the uncropped version of the Nude.
It was original done for a magazine, but then they decided to use a picture instead.
That is why it was cropped down.
So i thought i would show it to yawl uncropped so you could see all the hair.
Hope you like it. :)

Water Color and Figure Drawing

How are you all doing?
Well, the post today is a water color sketch i did when i was practicing my figure drawing.
The paint texture turned out pretty crazy.
I try to keep my figure drawing off this site,
but i couldn't resist posting this one,
so i just cropped it down.
It is the first water color sketch i've done in a long while....
whatcha think?

The Ladies of Meisel

Hello, my friends. How did your day go???
Mine flew by so fast.
Since you all had so many nice words about the Character Sketchbook....
I thought i'd post an image from Volume 3 of the Character Sketchbook,
(which is the Volume i am currently working on).
This picture is from a photoshoot of one of my favorite photographers, Steven Meisel.
I thought i would censore the painting cause i wouldn't want anyone to be offended :)
But if you want to see the original version of the picture Click Here.
I hope you like it!

So i was sitting looking at some fashion collections from a few years ago,
which makes me have a few questions for you...
1: What year in the 2000's do you think had the best Fashion Collections?
2: What year in the 2000's do you think had the best editorials?
3: What year in the 2000's do you think had the best models?

I got my answers... Excited to hear your thoughts! :)

Irving Penn 1917 – 2009

Well Friends, We all lost a genius today.
Legendary photographer Irving Penn died today at age 92.
I have to say, I'm pretty bummed about his passing.
I feel like the number of Old Great Artists like him keep dwindling down.
He is one of my all time favorite photographers...a true inspiration...
I mean, he was still working in his 90's!
So awesome! Shoot! He is so, so, so amazing!
I just hope we (young artists) can take the baton and inspire the world like Irving has.

As a Tribute to him,
I thought I'd share these two paintings today.
The first painting is an old picture of Irving Penn in the the military.
The second one is of the Nude Portrait he did of Kate Moss.
I really tried to do the painting in a way that would do justice to Irving's incredible Black & Whites.
I hope you like the pictures.
If you haven't seen Irving Penn's work, please look it up. You will be a fan!
