View from the Dev Lab

The Dev Lab is where I spend a lot of my time - Here's the view from where I sit.

Evening at Pop's

My brother Alex

A super-quick contour drawing of my father

Leaf cleanup

These sketches from my window are definitely a reaction to the shock of actually having a window after having spent the last 3 years or so in a windowless cell-type office. An office with a window is an incredible thing. I hope I never have to go back...

Water Bottle

Super-quick water bottle sketch in between sandwich bites at lunch today.

Band Practice

Quick sketch done while on break last night at band practice.

Treetop clouds

It was a beautiful, sunny morning, then these clouds came in for about 15 minutes.

After lunch

A banana peel from my lunch today

Ning Nong at Bath Time

A quick sketch tonight: My friend Jim (Ning Nong) at his new DJ night (Bath Time)

Self Portrait by the window

Steff on the couch

Oil paintings (update)

Here's an update on the three oil paintings I started the other day

They're all pretty dark - the pictures came out lighter than they actually are .

This is turning into a dog-blog

I think we kept Kyle up too late last night - he's been asleep most of the day - a perfect drawing subject.

Kyle in repose

Kyle, doing what he does best, lazing in our (his) floppy comfy chair from three different angles.

Mike and Christine

A couple of quick moleskine sketches done after dinner last night:

Here's Christine with a glass of wine after dinner - though I didn't even remotely capture her face...


Mike playing Super Mario Brothers on the Wii - again - not really his face, somehow...

Turnip: rejected Thanksgiving root

Foot (EDM #23)

90 second poses

I spent some time at Pose Maniacs tonight - warmed up with some 45 second poses, then onto 90 second poses. These are the 90 second ones:

Quick desk sketch

(Many apologies to Jeanette)

Desk plant

I was curious what the leaves would look like hovering with no stems.

Evans Way (again)

Another attempt at the view from my office - I think this one turned out a bit better than last time. This one was done with watercolor paint - the last one was an early attempt with watercolor pencils.

Watercolors and kits

As viewed from my office window

I really need to start scanning instead of photographing these - this looks much better in real life...

Hanging out at Paul's place

Second attempt:

I'm excited to figure out how these things work

I feel I'm finally getting a bit of a handle on breasts (HA!)
