I have been super busy lately and not making much art.  Since the deadline for Dirty Show 10.5 submissions is coming up soon, I plan on doing some new watercolor paintings.  Along with those, which I’ll post when they are done, I’m still working on my wash drawings.  Below is my latest.  I hope that you enjoy it.

ErosFest NW (http://www.erosfestnw.com/) is coming soon, starting August 6th and being held at the Jupiter Hotel in Portland Oregon. I am happy to announce that I will have 5 of my drawings at the show.

I am pleased to announce that 3 of my drawings will be on display at this year’s Seattle Erotic Art Festival. They are the following pieces (please click on the thumbnails for larger samples):

I finally found time to get some drawing in. As far as I’m concerned I should be drawing all the time, but sometimes even the most basic things fill your day. Anyway here is my first new wash drawing of this year. I hope that you enjoy it.

Here is my first new pencil drawing for 2009. The drawing was created on a cream paper, which unfortunately is difficult to see on a computer screen along with the fine details.

Today I finished this new charcoal drawing done in a slightly larger format from the 8×10 paper I usually use.  My original intention was to create this particular drawing on a larger scale, probably around 24×18, but I am happy with how it turned out on a 12×9.  It is amazing how scale can change the impact or presentation of the subject.  Most of my work I like to have a more intimate presentation, thus the small scale.  I find it more interesting to have those who view my work to have to come closer in order to fully see all of the details.  This also creates a one-on-one engagement between the viewer and art work.  It is like a whisper compared to a shout.  Any piece that is larger than an average person is clearly shouting.  Something to think about when you have the opportunity to view art in person.

It is time again to prepare for the upcoming Dirty Show.

Here are 4 pieces I have submitted.  

If you are an artist submitting work … good luck!  

If you are an art lover who will be attending … enjoy the show!

Here is a new pencil drawing that I finished today.  The drawing was created on a cream paper, which unfortunately is difficult to see on a computer screen, but it definitely adds to the drawing.
