It's funny how the drawing looks more done to me by rendering it in another 'medium,' even if it's rather sketchy. Or is that because it's so sketchy?

Neck

My neck is still hurting, but not so much as before. Can it be that the stress that I felt was the cause is leaving, and therefore alleviating the pain? I hope so.

Fluidity

I'm on a fabric kick. I just wanted to play with drapery a bit in a quickie sketch.

Independence

On Saturday night, I was lying in bed reading comics, and wondering whether or not I should go out. But I was so comfortable being home... and on my 17th Anniversary of living in my apartment (I moved in July 4th in '92) it felt right to just celebrate by being home, alone. It was that way when I first moved in, and I was surrounded by my stuff as I heard the fireworks go off in the distance, and I decided, no, I want to be here amidst the unsettled clutter, living in my very own space for the very first time in my life. How perfect, since it was my own private independence day.

Seraphim, Pt. 3

I've always had a penchant for drapery. I can pinpoint my particular influences: the flowiness of Aphonse Mucha, The realism of George Stavrinos, and the movement of Dave Cockrum and John Byrne (particularly in the the way they drew Storm's cape). It's a varied set of models that combine to make my own rendition of it both an amalgam of the best parts of what I admired of these artists' works, and hopefully, original.

Seraphim, Pt. 2

Just played with the linework and draping a little more on this sketch. What I really need is to be talking with someone on the phone while I do it, so it becomes autonomic. I find my best drawings come when I don't think too much about them.

Seraphim

I got this image in my head, something I thing I've seen before, but brought to mind by a different image that I saw in a amagazine. In any case, I like the linework in this one, and I just want it to be about mindless, unconsidered, automtic drawing. So far, it is.
