Some Drawing Fun

Atomic Robo Is a Graphic novel I have been reading. I have a few drawings here. Atomic Robo is a robot possessing "automatic intelligence", created by Nikola Tesla in 1923. He is a core member of Tesladyne Industries, "a thinktank dedicated to exploring the fringes of scientific inquiry", whose Action Scientists often respond to paranormal and supernatural emergencies. Robo has a developed sense of humor, a basic Smart-ass and makes numerous wise cracks at his foes' expense. In the past, he has secretly worked with theUnited States government as well as NASA.

This is a rough ink wash. 1 hour

Marker drawing of Robo dropping a bomb. 2 hours

More Work in Progress

Unlike drawing, painting is sometimes, not all... time/labor intensive , so it may not look like a much time has gone by but it has. The work on my "Satchel" Paige from my last post to my new post is about 15 extra hours.

Still Working on this

My David pieces (20 hours) is part of a bigger idea, where I want to have 5-7 parts where I get diverse views of the statue of David after all it is a 360 degrees. What would be the front? The variant images will be place at different heights and may have different size canvasses. Definite work in progress.

These are part of a series, my painted versions of the great pieces of Art I have seen. I like giving alternative perspectives to old works.

This a variant Fire Red Headed goddess Venus by Sandro Botticelli, the layers of hair I spent most of my time, I worked about 13 hours on this.

I will be making Post Card printed versions of most any piece I have done, so if anyone is interested email me.

DR Sketchy

Dr Sketchy is a Art class, but without the class. They meet once a month usually in a bar somewhere in Dallas and charge 10 bucks, but they have chapters all over the world. This was my first time for me at this event there were about 20 or so artist, it starts off one minute sketches, two minute, then five, ten, then 3 twenty minutes sessions. A model was brought in (Angela Ryan), with a Marie Antoinette persona. The theme was given, being October and Halloween looming, we were told to incorporate it in a drawing or two. Here are some of the sketches I did and I won a couple of prizes best incorporation of the Halloween theme, I had Marie Antoinette serving her head on a platter. And I won models choice where Angela picked a favorite, WOOHOO. I got a free session and a Moleskin sketchbook
