ATCs: More Self-Portraits

I’m finishing up my swaps for the year and that last one I completed was a self-portrait swap.   It’s sounds so strange and big-headed to say that I enjoy drawing myself.  But what can I say?  I do. I had to pretty myself up here for this drawing.  I’ve been called sir far too oftenContinue reading “ATCs: More Self-Portraits”

Having a Merry, Merry Time

This has been a great season for me.  Usually I fall into major winter funks that always seem to coincide with the few weeks before Christmas.  This year is different.  Maybe it’s because I’m spending so much time drawing and painting.  All that creative energy flowing seems to push away any funky feeling.   It’sContinue reading “Having a Merry, Merry Time”

On a side note, I just found out that a couple of myContinue reading “ATCs: In the Style of Rossetti”

EDM Challenge 185 – Draw a Cat

It’s been a while since I’ve done an Everyday Matters Challenge. To be honest, I didn’t do these specifically for the challenge. I was drawing cat cards for various swaps I had signed up for. So imagine my surprise when I went to check what the next EDM challenge would be. When I saw “drawContinue reading “EDM Challenge 185 – Draw a Cat”

Trading My Cards

Hi there everyone. Last week I started trading my art cards. It’s a blast. I’ve traded almost every card I’ve made. I made a few today. Here are two I made using my new comic book style: I’ve already traded the one on the right. Minutes after I posted it, I had someone offer aContinue reading “Trading My Cards”
