Published by under sketchbook

I think this is a futuristic city. Or maybe it’s abstract.

Old Sketch of the Day #1

Published by under sketchbook

I’ve been scanning old sketchbooks, and I thought I’d share random cool stuff from them on days when nothing else is begging to be posted. I’ll start with a particularly creative sketchbook I had going back around ’97 when I was working as the concept artist for a company called GameFX.

Lighthouse

Published by under sketchbook,travel

I just found this little pastel I had started in my sketchbook on a trip to Maine last year (or maybe even the year before). I messed around with it a bit more, and thought I’d post it.

Late Christmas

Published by under sketchbook

I meant to post these a while ago. When I was home for the holidays we went to a lovely Christmas Eve service at the Montpelier UU church, and I made some graven images 🙂

Graphic novel event on February 6th

Published by under appearances

Sponsored by the Boston Graphic Artists’ Guild, MassArt, and Comicopia, this event is open to the public (though it isn’t free). I am essentially headlining it. Which is cool! I’ll do a presentation, then be part of a panel about publishing, and then do portfolio reviews. It should be a pretty good time, if you are interested in graphic novels and how they get made.

Thanks to Ed Shems for taking the lead on making this happen.

This is always a challenge. The movement is pretty constant and pretty fast.

Horse animation

In my quest to improve my horse drawings, I thought it might be a good idea to try a little animation. This is pretty rough, and it’s basically just a copy from Eadweard Muybridge‘s Animals in Motion, but it made me practice drawing the proportion and structure of the horse quickly, and it was also a chance to play with Photoshop’s animation capabilities. Did you know Photoshop has animation capabilities? I just discovered this a few weeks ago, and I really like the possibilities for animating with painterly tools (of the sort you won’t find in Flash).
