Gainesville's Favorite Son

I just watched the new documentary, "Runnin' Down a Dream" and realized that I've never drawn this guy. If you haven't seen the movie, check it out!Cilck image to enlarge

Race Into Reading

This is a new project that I did for my sister. Her little boy is having an event at his school to promote literacy and my sis is on the committee. She enlisted me to draw up this poster to promote the event. Sarah Fisher (IRL Driver) will be the keynote speaker and will be reading stories to the kiddies. I will also be in attendance along with my collaborator Larry Leonard speaking about our upcoming children's book "Its The Truth". Click image to enlarge

Caricatures at The French Lick Springs Hotel

I was called early saturday afternoon by a friend, who also does caricatures, to fill in for her that evening because she was double booked. I agreed and started to make my way down towards Orange County. I hadn't been to French Lick/West Baden in a few years but I remember it being a beautiful place right out of the turn of last century. It is said that French Lick was a popular weekend getaway for Chicago mobster, Al Capone back in the 1930's. They have recently renovated it and added a new casino. If you get a chance to visit there I would recommend it.

The Caricatures went well and I was in and out of there in two hours. The the place was so nice I kind of wanted to stay longer. Everyone had a great time and I made some nice quick cash (always good for an artist) on a saturday night where I had nothing planned but drawing in front of the TV.

Farewell Sopranos

It was a long road but the Sopranos have ended. Will there be a movie follow up??? Who knows? I must say I was a little disappointed in the final episode. It should have been at least a two hour finale to tie up some more loose ends. It's the least they could have done for all the viewer's long time loyalty and support but, as they say, forgit a bout' it! Even though, I still got lots of enjoyment from the show and out of respect to the "Bing", I post this homage to a great run.

Keith Richards

Keith Richards, man what a talent. Its hard to believe they still tour. Keith has a lot of character in his face which makes for fun drawing. I find drawing subjects with distinct features is a lot more fun and actually easier than drawing beautiful, flawless people. Click on the image to enlarge.

Drew Barrymore

This was a great exercise in woman's hair. Female features must be smooth and curvy with no unnecessary lines or wrinkles in the face. Stick to these rules and you will draw beautiful girls. Click image to enlarge.

Clint Eastwood

One of my favorite actors (and no, he never sat for me). I use this one in my portfolio because everyone knows who he is and no photo referal is needed. Click image to enlarge.

Hot Rod

This one was a good time. Butch is the retired father of one of my co-workers. He is a car nut that works on restoring old hot rods. The ones depicted in the caricature are his 66' Nova and his 67' Olds 442. Click the Image to enlarge.
