so here was the drawing I did first after declaring my goal of increased creativity. I was feeling anxious and scared of life as usual so to get down to business I had to drink I nice tall glass of Hennessey. Drinking a bit always loosens me up (ie: gets me to not worry about the superficial outcome of something and just do it), it's not ( Read more... )

This year I have been horribly unproductive. I really haven't done much of anything creative at all yet. I had lots of plans for art projects this year similar to last year but that is all out the window, at least in terms of monthly goals.

Now that I've completed my major resolution for last year, to draw a portrait of a different author for every month of the year, I thought I'd put them all in one place. Please enjoy.

If you don't know who he is go out and rent Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas immediately then follow that up with a couple of his books. This drawing is darker ( Read more... )

So here is my portrait for October. Clive Barker is one of my favorite writers and a one of the best horror writers there is. Movies based on his work include: Hellraiser, Nightbreed, Lord of Illusions, and Midnight Meat Train. This was not as good as I would have liked and the photo I used had a weird shadow from his hand cast across his face ( Read more... )
