Diana

This illustration was a tribute to an artist that had a profound influence on my art in my early years; his name is Patrick Nagel.  In the 80's you couldn't walk or shop anywhere without seeing his art.  I was mesmerized by the simplicity of his paintings and the beauty of his female models. 

One day I was curious as to what his style would lend to a vampire illustration and the results were amazing.  I ended up creating a lot of these and will share them all as they were incredibly fun to create.  This one is called "Diana".  Enjoy!

Still Life Gesture Drawings

Gesture drawing is done in rapid quick lines for the purpose of capturing the inner/outer structure and basic proportions of an object with varying volume and mass detail to give the impression of what the object looks like. Typically they only take a minute or less to compose.  The drawings below are some samples that I did while in my Drawing I class.

Angel of Light

This illustration is part of a diptych set called "Darkness and Light".  I have always been fascinated by dichotomy and this set was meant to explore it.  I collaborated with artist Lee Seed and her illustration is title "Darkness" which depicted a male demon in shades of blue and grey.  My "Light" is his opposite, a female angel in sepia and brown.  The set was a lot of fun to do.
