Wife's Birthday Card

Slapped back together in PS. Gouache on some kinda paper. I wrote the poem in Iambic Pentameter (as well as I could recall it from school) and the kids are SUPPOSED to be me and Katherine as kids.

Sketchbook

A few recent sketchbook pages. The one with the bat monster had to be helped along in PS as the soluble graphite didn't scan well. The bottom one was a pre-show before a theater show where a bunch of folks gathered to watch some songs and dance for 30 minutes.

Heres some stuff

So heres some stuff I have been doing, nothing so cool as you 'course, but damn it all if having someone so good at this stuff already doesn't make me maybe a tiny bit better. I spent must of Sunday making this little card for Katherine's birthday and totally ripped off a Kevin kidney designed cake topper I saw on Instagram for the style. Not cool, I know but Katherine will love it and she won't care where its from. I will put that up in a few days so as to own up to it somewhere.

CLONE SNORES

Really awesome piece!  I looked at the reference you supplied and took the painting into Photoshop.  I was able to do a loose paint over with a little more definition in his face to help you along.  I had a hard time with the mouth around the cigarette so I'll let you the artist work some of that business out.

His head is definitely square but I felt that the face was a little too pointy.  I just broadened the nose that I referenced and kept his brow heavy, eyes squinting.  I hope this helps.  Everything else is dynamite.

this thing

So here is this monster. I claim no confidence over this thing, so be as brutally honest as you can. New one is on top, old below also with shots of the actor.

OOGA BOOGA

Brad here is a piece I sweated out in a day--I may take another day to finish it up.  It's just another one of my weird pieces. I hope you like it.

Also I am posting more progress with that boxer Pic. I agree on the mood changes you gave thought to.  I just have to get around to changing them.

What is winning WIP

This is a huge undertaking for me, not great at perspective I am slowly piecing this together.  The boxer and his gal were a separate illustration.  Meg helped me see the bigger story.  I have to admit my mind went there too but being lazy I was just trying to take the easy way out.  I feel that this time of my life I might as well push it as far as I can.  If you have any suggestions or comments Brad please help me out!
