The first sketch is my aunt and uncle's backyard which was all fancied up for my cousin's wedding.  The second two are around Savannah, part of my current project for internship.

Sketches for Harper's Magazine

A trio of sketches for Herman Melville's The Town-Ho's Story - a short story about Moby Dick published in Harper's Magazine a long time ago.
Harper's is opening a section of their website with classic stories including this one and the graduating grad students were asked to submit sketches for illustrations for the website.

Paul Bunyan sketches and story

So I've been really busy so far this semester working on three books. These are the sketches for my Paul Bunyan story. There are two for each break in the writing so my art director (teacher) could chose one composition for me to go with.

Don't stop me now, I'm having such a good time...

Here are two head studies I did of Freddie Mercury for the celebrity project in Illustration Markets.

Drawings from sketchbook 12

Trying to come up with ideas for a young adult portfolio, I drew a sketch of Sabriel from the book Sabriel.

And this might be the most clever thing I have ever drawn.
Both of these were taken with my phone. I'll post some good scans when I actually scan this sketchbook.

Mr. Boomitsamonster!

Blind contours of Mark and Erin.

All in pen and some marker.

Sketches

Sketches using pencil, sharpie, watercolor and gouache. Done at Morris Hall at SCAD, some bar in downtown Savannah, and Barnes and Noble.

Sketches.

Here are a few sketches for projects that I am working on right now.

I am tired of the detail my newest images have gone into and am moving back towards large shapes.

This image needs to regress back to simpler shapes. This is tonight's project.

Last is mister cat for Dana. Someday, I'll finish this one.

hmph.

disgruntled looking male model.

Moobs

And it's me, the darker side of the moon! These aren't monsters, I have plenty of those to post later, but some of these random (except for Noro) ladies were sketched today during our little sketch get-together. Done with a cheapo pilot pen; medium of choice back when I was like 6-12. Enjoy them!!!

Hey Noro, I miss you.

Apparently, the lady on the right is Krishna.

Note: the boob-hug.
