Sketchbook: Quick Study of Manet's Olympia


I wish this would have been part of the collection that the d'Orsay sent over to the de Young. Both of the shows were really spectacular but this would have been the best.

P.S. Has anyone else ever noticed how much Dominique Moceanu (yeah remember her?) looks like Manet's Olympia?

James Monroe



I have not given up on memorizing the presidents.... again. Here is the newest sketch of the fifth president of the United States, James Monroe. I try to catch up on the more interesting tidbits of their lives while I am looking them up, and all I could really find on Monroe was that he is listed first in Fox News' (this came up in Google, I am not a fan of Fox News) lineup of "Unhealthiest Presidents".

April's Promo


Here is a new promotional piece that I am sending out this month. The image was inspired by a short story written by Julio Cortazar. The protagonist suffers a condition that causes him to vomit rabbits. He loses control of his life because of this plague of purging rabbits and, subsequently, commits suicide. In this story, the act of vomiting rabbits is comparative to the act of creation and creativity as a living experience. I really do enjoy Julio Cortazar's work and I plan on doing more pieces inspired by his short stories.

James Madison




I didn't get as far with dear James Madison's sketch in the five minute frame.
