Finally a new image! It’s been forever… lots of work on the Academic front often meant little drawing and coloring. But I have returned, finally scanning up some images from way back in December! This one is called “Butterfly”. A simple doodle done while in class, sitting around…waiting, waiting, waiting… Read more…
This lady developed slowly after a long day thinking about the words I used to hear from folks at the Night Ministry bus. People always referred to themselves as “Blessed”–every day, just because they woke up that morning, or because they received food from us, or because they heard from Read more…
This image is the final image in my CPE Journal Series–completed for my wonderful Aunt and Uncle Trifoso! It resembles a steampunk airship…mostly because I felt like trying to draw one. I was getting a little fantastical towards the end of the summer.
In this one I had a lot of the elements of my life this summer: viaducts, spray-painted trains–tagged things and metro lines. The leaves on a summer tree, and quiet, lonely faces everywhere I looked. There’s a lot of thought in this one.
This image is from Week 8, and was purchased by the wonderful long time friends of mine, Janelle and Peter. The only criteria was “Must contain trains.” 🙂 Done.
A million years ago, I bought a great big 11×14 sketchbook. I rarely use it (I focus mostly on my 7×10, since it’s travel size), but I drew a cover page for it when I first got it. I finally took it to the scanner yesterday (along with 3 others Read more…
This one is from Week 7–I’m still behind, of course. It was purchased by my great Aunt and Uncle Reed, in the DC area. Absolutely everyone is getting involved. It’s really great. 🙂
Still behind, of course, but I’m catching up. This is Week 6–purchased by my very supportive and awesome Mom, of Minneapolis storytelling-land fame. She’s doing a show at the MN Fringe this year.Â
This image, for Week 4, was purchased by my Aunt and Uncle in Olean, NY. Many thanks to them for their support! There are new Sharpie colors out now–and they are pretty exciting. Sharpie Neons are my long, long awaited light blue and light green. Previously I was using a Read more…
This piece is for Week 3 (forever ago, now) and was purchased by the amazing Madelin Zaycheck, an amazing photographer friend of mine in the St. Paul area.
This one took me quite a while to actually finish. I had the drawing all ready, and even the date on it. But I never got around to coloring it; I wanted to use my professional markers for it. (I kind of jokingly call them my “White People” markers–there isn’t Read more…
CPE Week #2! This artwork was generously purchased by my one and only Dad (and on Father’s Day Week, to boot.) It took me a long time to get this up here, because I’ve been pretty busy just trying to get all my things together in my move. It’s almost Read more…
Over the creation of this image, I posted many “half-way-thru” images. But I couldn’t think of a good quote. I couldn’t and couldn’t and couldn’t for the longest time. Then, I found one hiding in the pages of Heidi Neumark’s book “Breathing Space.” Since I loved the book so Read more…
This image was used for the front cover of the Saint Paul and the Redeemer Easter Bulletin. (Sans the text; I added that later.) It is based on the Easter Readings from Year C, the Luke story of the resurrection…
Art with a touch of Bible–a particularly triumphant portion of Isaiah.
Between us is about the pretty city and the not so pretty city–a theme for just about anyone who lives in Hyde Park and the South Side of Chicago. There’s what we see above, the decoration and the pretty trains, the trees and the parks, and then there’s what’s down below–below Read more…
Here is just another doodle. I really enjoy just starting from scratch and seeing where it goes. Employed quite a lot of Bronze Metallic in this one; it was kind of an afterthought…I wanted the white to stick out a bit more. Most of the repetitiveness of this is just to Read more…
