And an Illustration...

I did this as an assignment for a book cover. I choose one of my all time favorite books, "Wizard of Earthsea" by Ursula K. LeGuinn. It is the scene were Ged meets the doorkeeper and tries to enter the school for wizards.

Aside from paintings...

I started studying printmaking last Fall. It has become somewhat of a new obsession for me. In my ignorance, I had first viewed the subject as tedious and hard to do. Now I find it to be extremely rewarding and actually very therapeutic. There are so many ways to lend yourself to this medium.

I traveled to Japan (Summer 08) and became captivated with their power lines. I took several pictures of them. These prints are based on some of my photos.

These are two monotypes titled "Mino 1" and "Mino 2"



Two collographs titled "To-go 1" and "To-go 2"

More paintings...

So now that summer is here I "plan" on getting my butt in gear. The idea is to sketch a lot and come up with something that is not an assignment...so we'll see out that goes.

In the mean time here are some paintings I did...

I title this "Fog in a Bog"



"Indian Paintbrush"
