Dock on the Potomac
Spent some time hiking and enjoying good company in Fort Washington, MD. I also achieved a gash on my leg, which I'm told, should have been stitched, but I held off the doctor visit until it had already started... This entry has been tagged as , ,

Grain Elevators
Once a fixture of every small town in the Canadian prairie, these classic buildings have been disappearing with the advent of cheap and convenient transportation options. Seeing these buildings reminds me of a place that is now far away... This entry has been tagged as , ,

Happy Birthday Lauren
A quick card for a coworker's daughters sixth birthday. I was told later that Lauren carried the card in her hands all evening and was amazed that it had her name on it. When I make a card from... This entry has been tagged as , , ,

Sometimes the Sky
Simply an ink wash over a sketchbook page. The Hand-made sketchbook pages are generally thick enough to handle water without buckling, but in this case I must have used a lot of water. Oh well, I love the effect... This entry has been tagged as , , ,

Headphones
I have owned two pairs of Bose headphones; this is the second pair. They are broken on the headband. Still usable and great sound, but a shame that there seems to be a flaw in the design that makes... This entry has been tagged as , ,

Delfosse Winery
Some studies that I made while we were at a little winery outside of Charlottesville, Virginia. A study in my usual pen and ink style. Loose lines, some detail, but I wanted more. A second study where I was just... This entry has been tagged as , , ,

The scale of this pencil is like one of those huge novelty pencils that you used to get as gifts from aunts and uncles who had just returned from places like Aruba.... This entry has been tagged as , ,

A Classic Pose
This image on Flickr is so classic and touching that I had to draw it. The photo was posted by Mark Michaelson who published, Least Wanted, a terrific book that collects many more early century mugshots. Highly recommended.... This entry has been tagged as , ,

Robert Johnson, Part III
There seems to be only two images of Robert Johnson online--the one I used as a reference for my previous drawing and the one I used as a reference for this drawing. So iconographic, yet so elusive. Here's what... This entry has been tagged as , ,

Headphones
A few months ago, when my commute was sometimes over three hours long, I was heavily into watching video on my iPod. I'd watch everything from Lost to 30 Rock to The Office. Jacob wasn't so much into Lost... This entry has been tagged as , ,

Oz
There is something especially nice about drawing horses, with their amazing musculature and gentle faces. I spent a lot of time working on this picture of Oz and I admit to enjoying every minute of it. I realized this... This entry has been tagged as , ,
