Stuntkid and Friends Show

Stuntkid and Friends opened this past saturday at ArtGallery in Norfolk, VA. I'm a bit disapointed that I couldn't make it out, but from the photos I've seen, it looks like quite a few people did. The show runs until August 27th. I highly suggest checking it out if you're in the area.

Tigers and meee-cezzz!!

Sketching all the time...

Forever and ever...

Smoking little stumps

Left  the big sketchbook at the shop this week, so I've reverted back to filling the pages of my little one. 

Friends of Stuntkid

Sent off my pieces last week to Norfolk for an upcoming show at  ArtGallery.  It looks like a blurb is up on HamptonRoads about the show as well.

"Uitbarsting" and "Smoke Breather."

Been feeling a bit lazy in the brain lately - This usually occurs after I finish a piece. Re-adjusting and arranging ideas. Time to get back to work.

Sperm Whale.

Just finished a commission of a sperm whale for a friend.

Also did another grey drawing recently.

Graphite and colored pencil

I found a wonderful tumbler focused on scientific illustration, which I've always been fascinated by.

Waiting for the Redwoods...

A recent drawing inspired by a National Geographic documentary called "Climbing Redwood Giants."

I've never seen them and now feel even more compelled to gaze upon them with my own two eyes.

"Redwood." 

Graphite and colored pencil.

Recently, I also went to a NASA lecture at a local bar here in B-town. I have never really payed too much attention to science in space and more to things taking place here. But really, they go hand in hand. 

The true awesomeness of space... the grand scale... it puts a great deal into perspective for me. 

I enjoy feeling so small. Nature has a way of doing that.

More Little Animals for Scout Hall!

These paintings will be at the "Sprout Hall" spring show and sale this Friday and Saturday.

If you are in Kitsap, or just want to get out of dodge for the day, I suggest you stop by and check it out. There will be some lovely things, including cool bags and pennants by Derek Nobbs!

Hope to see you there!

Five down, three to go!

Making progress... 

One more miniature animal.

Watercolor on paper.

Miniature animals.

Working on a group of small paintings of animals for an upcoming little show/sale in my neck of the woods. Putting ghostly things on hold just for a bit. 

"Scout Hall" is a very cool little location here in Bremerton. A couple of friends with a wonderful eye for design and all things lovely have converted a vintage Scout meeting hall into a wonderful venue for shows, dinners and just hanging out with good people. 

I'll have a total of 8 animal watercolors available. 

And of course, I'm always sketching, regardless of what I'm painting. Here's the latest from the sketchbook.

Lastly, it looks as if my work has made it onto the Hi-Fructose Magazine Blog!

Woodkid.

Derek showed me this video yesterday. I'm quite fond of it and the music.

Ghostly entrails searching...

Been reading this little gem lately. 

A detailed account of various supernatural and occult stories from all over the world. 

An interesting fact: " It was considered by the Romans to be a curse for a man to die the last of his line. Consequently, so that the dead would not be too lonely, they were buried by the roadside so that their spirits could be cheered by the greetings of those who passed.

Despite the tendency of spirits to haunt the locale of their burial places, they were generally believed by the Romans to inhabit a specific underworld beneath the earth."

The sketch below is based on a demon who becomes separated from its body at night to take pray on human victims. The head must return to the body by daybreak or the demon will be destroyed.

A bit more.

A few more sketches from the book. 

I'm also working on a series of 8 small paintings for spring.

This is the start of one... my little chipmunk.
