so a couple months back, my friend Jocelyn and I went for a sunset ride out at Liberty Stables. Deb had a surprise for us- she had her friend Lily, a large animal vet, in to remove a rotting tooth. The horse in question, Paris, is 26 years old and probably won't be around much longer. It was surprisingly emotional, rather gory, and a lot of muscle. We hammered away at that tooth with a drill, the whole while with Paris in a crazy sort of mouth brace and heavily sedated.
Deb asked me to paint a scene from it, so I picked a less gory bit where she was merely smacking away at the tooth with a metal rod.
acrylic, about an hour and a half.
Two days ago I was driving back downtown when I saw the LANKIEST guy in the world riding this little Honda 350. He just simply did not fit. He had his helmet strapped over a baseball cap, little wireframe glasses, big fuck off work boots, and his little ratty ponytail and plaid overshirt blowin' in the breeze. When I got up close enough to see him I just about drove off the road laughing.
So when I made it to my studio, I just had to have a little doodle over it.
Oh, and there's a sneak peek of what I painted for my mum's bday behind it there... I'll post that once she actually gets it.
acrylic, twenty minutes.
broke out the gouache tonight. most liberating thing i've done in a long long time.
some 50s lady in a taffeta dress. yeaa tumblr.
acrylic, sometime two weeks ago.
sketches from work that didn't get used and then some bar doodles.
My studiomate Greg has lots of taxidermied deer hanging around the studio....
sketch dump
skulls?
oh hey guys. I cut all my hair off. woot.
slumpy triumph enthusiast and a russian convict and lee van cleef.
truth. though i'm actually not having this problem at the moment, thank god.
New sketchbook, new cover. The spine says "I thought you were the"... lyrics by broken social scene.
scribble of a british Rocker gang member... exercise where I didn't look at the page until I was finished. Sort of scribbly and off but a lot of fun.
this is about 11x17. biggest thing I've done in awhile. Acrylic and micron pen here and there. I'm getting goofier and cartoonier as time goes on, and i think I like it.
and I really don't know why i drew this. It's me chasing a cat that's stolen my choco chip cookie dough. Durn varmints.
this was for my mum's bday. she loves colin firth, and she loves cats. so i made the derpiest cat ever and stuck it in a rather grumpy mister darcy's arms.
acrylic scribbling. my reference was a ginger. not that that's important. but,.... yeah.
another zombie pin up nazi. may be a few more yet before we settle on a design/idea.
