Portraits

This one goes out to James. Last month when he came up to visit, i asked him to sit for me so I could sketch a portrait of him. In addition to some of the sketches I drew up, I also took some photo reference. I finally got a chance recently to whip out those photos and tackle this portrait for real. I've been doing more painting lately, so I took this as an opportunity to practice using my acrylics.
This one is of Stephanie that I did using colored inks, black ink and acrylic. This combination is something I want to continue experimenting with.

Bonz and Obama


I got a request from Brian Bonz to illustrate a coloring book type image of him and and Obama just chillin'. This is the idea I came up with. These will be passed out at his show this thursday @ Mercury Lounge. If you're in the NYC area, go check it out and don't forget to bring crayons!
