Anatomical Alchemy

Earth, Air, Fire, Water & most importantly Heart. Walking into the lightning cracks of an approaching storm, I perceived a bolt to ignite a heart and fell inward to its pulse. I saw the transition of elements and the movement of forces. The seas ebbed and the fires raged; fueled by a vortex of wind [...]

Things will look up old fellow…

Art All Night

Art… All night? I’m in! I will be attending Art All Night with a piece this year. This will be my first time at the event so I am excited to experience it. Keep an eye peeled for the fox and keep the other scanning for me in the crowd.

Rejected Superheroes

Monday night was a blast at Gypsy Cafe on the South Side. It was an evening of humorous comic book heroines and even a hero. Bios were read, poses were struck, and I was able to capture a couple sketches. I can’t recall all of the models names, so I apologize, but here are a [...]

Drawn of the Dead

Pittsburgh being home to a few zombie movies, it was a natural fit for the Dr. Sketchy that ensued. Wholesome flesh eating fun for the whole family. Thanks to all the models, Dr. Sketchy, Zombo and AIP. Bundhosen – Check. Pencil Roll – Check. Sketch Pad – Check. Sharpener – Wheres my sharpener? Dull pencils [...]

Kalamazoo Llamas

After being invited into a Fantasy Hockey League, I figured predraft was a perfect time to give my team a flavor. I used the Yahoo hockey helm as  guidline and slapped my own art work on the side. Without further adieu… I give you the Kalamazoo Llamas. The bricks are a little salute to Marc-Andre [...]

Beach Blanket Zombo

Another great sketchy, this one taking place out at the Gypsy Cafe on the South Side. I love every opportunity to bounce around to local arts related establishments. DJ Zombo kicked the tunes and all the monkeys cranked out some sketches. Here are just a few from the evening…     

TED Speaks, V’GER Destroys.

If you haven’t already listened to any of the TED Conference presentations, I encourage you to hop over to TED.com and check them out.  I watched quite a few and all of them were quite excellent and engaging. There are talks about mushrooms to the intelligence of crows (I love crows), so I’m certain there [...]

Vontinka Fashion Show

I had a chance to stop out to Future Tenant tonight for Dr. Sketchy Pittsburgh. Its headed up by Joe Wos curator of the Toonseum and this local installment is a part of the greater Dr. Sketchy Anti-Art School. It was a pretty great time, really my first time figure drawing since… High School (Which [...]

Odd Nerdrum

While visiting Norway, I stumbled across a book whose face captured me… The piece was “Limbo”, by Norwegian artist Odd Nerdrum… whose name is a little hard to forget, especially after seeing his work. As you burrow through his gallery, you may stumble on a few pieces which are a little “odd” (sorry),  but every [...]
