Jason Seiler

I wanted to do a caricature of Jason Seiler for a while. There are lots of fantastic caricaturists that I aspire to but it was Jason's work that first got me hooked on trying to excel at this art form. I have studied and studied his work in hopes to glean as much from it as I could. I hope to take his class some day soon. . .

EDIT::: I've made some changes based on feedback from the guys and gals at the ISCA.

Sir Richard Branson . . .

. . . is such a pirate. And one funny lookin' dewd.

quick sketch

goofin' off

I've been reading Bernard Cornwell's "Saxon Stories". I guess I've got viking ships on the brain. . .

A Sketch!

just some dragons. ..

A Commission!

I was asked to do this for the Senior VP of my division of my company for his retirement. I'm happy with how it turned out. But, I did decide to not push things too far (you never want to make people mad, well not people who may have control over your job, right?)

This blog is not dead!

just a little under the weather. . .

not me, the blog.

Here's a quick sketch of Scott Avett of the Amazing Avett Brothers.

give them a listen if you haven't already.

Happy Birthday Erin.

watercolor sketch

This is a quick pencil and watercolor sketch that I did last weekend at my mom's. Evie, mom and I were all painting. It was one of those magic moments, 3 generations all painting together. . .

anyway, its a semi caricature of Andy Griffith that I spent about 20 minutes on. I'm surprised with it, in a good way. Maybe I should do more with watercolor. . . and use better paper.

Jennifer Aniston

Rob Beals

Here is one of my friend Rob. He wasn't aware that I was working on it so it was cool to drop it on him all finished and stuff. I think he likes it. I hope to get to do one of his wife Jess. . . hint hint.

and for those who don't know him, here is the main ref I used.

Obama WIP

this is my first real take on the president. I've done quite a few sketches of him but they all either missed the likeness or looked too much like other caricaturists' take on him. But, I think that this one looks like my own so I'm going with it. Here is stage one after the sketch. I'll post in progress on this one as it will have much more than just his head. . .
