Just got a scanner again. This is sketch I did a while ago and just tryin to get my PH legs back under me. Looks like I've got some work to do. Enjoy....

So here's a very recently ruined canvas. I started with only charcoal and pastels which gave it kind of a Rainbow Bright vs. Brother's Grimm sorta feel, but I couldn't get the detail I wanted. So once again your fair narrator turned to his water mixable oil colors. Turned out kinda fun. Enjoy....

Fuck you Morgan. This is all I've got from the past 9 month-ish. Enjoy....

Just a quick photoshop sketch while watching the Simpsons. I really want to love the show that raised me, but it's getting tough

more stuff...

Revisions Yea! Here's the original color.

And here the lil bugger is with some of the notes Mr. Dudra gave me as well as a few other touch ups.... Enjoy

Sorry but the posts are a bit outta order but here is a final final with a bit of depth added after Mr. Dudra's crit of previous posts and those that follow are the ones that preceded it.... enjoy

So heres a little progression piece. The original sharpie sketch can be found earlier in my posts. So the first one is just color. Medium flesh tone and some background depth (*slacker secret: BG is just the stock gradient option in PhotoShop 7...yeah eat a dick, I'm still using .7)

Here it is with a bit more depth.
And finally here it is with more steps than necessary.
... gotdamn i need a job....

I think 4 in one day is probably more time than i should have spent on these. Oh well. Enjoy....

More fun with Photoshop and this time based off of one of the most badass movies of the 80's.

Here's the original ink over pencil from my sketch book.

Enjoy....

Here's the Dale sketch with some color.

Sketchbook doodle with some photoshop lovin'. Enjoy....

This is just a doodle with a splash of soft pastel work. Enjoy....

Fun with hatching with a Sharpie! I don't really know what the fuck he is, but regardless i do love him so...

Fun with color pencils. I really want to figure out how the fuck to light stuff. Well that and Daredevil kicks ass!
This is a cat that I used to work with. His name is Dale and he also kicks much ass!

More to come.....

HOLY SHIT! Don't look now, but Tim actually posted something new and it's not even something stupid like whinny words or t-shirt designs, but actual art! I just finished this guy last night. It's 40"x30" of creepy fun. Enjoy....

Hello everyone. Sorry I'm late. Traffic was a bitch and well, I'm sure you know what a hassle it can be commuting from a bird farm to the Intra-WEB, especially when you can't seem to the www to make on off ramp to one's bunkhouse. How have you all been? It's good to imagine seeing you all. Well, lets get started. Here's the first real piece of art I've made in the last seven months. It was a long time coming, but I kinda dig it. The lighting is a bit forced and, if you're reading this Russell, the proportions on the character are fuct, these I know. When looking at it with only air rather than pixels as one's main barrier, the colors are much quieter. It was a fun exercise with charcoal and pastels on left over drywall from the bunkhouse. I think I'm going to be playing with clouds and skys quite a bit with these. They play well together and seem to like one another. What I'm truly tickled with is making my first frame with barn wood. We've got tons of this stuff down here and so far I've used it for this frame, shelves in my house and I built kitchen friggin cabinets with it. It's killer. Anyways, here's the early charcoal drawing with a light splash of watered down acrylic paint and the resulting waste of perfectly good left over drywall. Enjoy...

Oh, and here's a sunset from a few nights ago. Enjoy...

Here's a hack 'n slash panoramic of the view from beyond the great bluff that sits above our humble farm. It's almost silly. Enjoy...

So here's a few pics of those that I'm living with down here at the Double Rock Ranch. The first is Craig. We were out catching a couple hundred birds, when on of them decided it was time to fight back. The pheasant's target? Brother's face. Withing twenty minutes, he was hit twice by the winged rage of our long feathered fiend. Craig had a good amount of blood emancipated from his face so I clicked a quick pic with my handy dandy cellular phone. Craig's soul is very rarely ever captured in film so I wanted to do something special with this one. To that say he enjoys an occasional zombie film is to say that American's are a little big boned. For his birthday, I decided to kill him, bring him back hungering for human flesh and give him one frame from the movie.



Here we have Brandon Benson. The King Cock of the DRR. One night we were out of the porch, I with my sketch book and whiskey, Brandon with his rum and a desire to express his artist prowess. He drew for me the dairy farm where he was born and raised. Once I saw it, I knew that I would use it somehow. Below you will find an image that contains where he's from, what he's created (the Double Rocks on the left and the pheasant on the right is the logo I created for Double Rock Pheasants) his warm weather t-shirt stylings and, yes ladies, the Superman panties that only a very confident and slightly kinky man could wear. Enjoy...

Hello all and welcome to (drum roll please) "Doodles that Tim did while he was stuck in 4' of snow in Spokane!" The first pics are shots off of my buddy Sam Foley's front porch. The entire friggin town looked like this.


Sam's birthday is December 25th and I didn't buy him a damn thing. The first night I was at his place, he talked about playing cribbage with his family during Christmas and how he wished he had a board. Your humble narrator, still quite light of pocket, decided I'd make him a board. Here is the photographic proof of the results.

And finally what you all came here for, wasted paper. Fortunately, I liked a few and here they are.

Sam and Brook are getting married soon so I thumbed through a few of her bridal catalogs. I thought I would be kill for all the fabrics and body lines, but almost all the girls have the same "hand on the hips looking to the distance" thing going on. Oh well, whaddayado?

So here's a few shots that I took today. It got up to a blistering 7 degrees today and another 8-10 inches is expected overnight. I friggin love this goofy little town. Enjoy...




and as a side note, I am in fact working on more artwork. I'll have you know that I completely ruined a very nice start to a painting just last night.

This first pic might not look like much to most and several will wonder what the fuck it is and a handful may believe this to be some contemporary art installation. To the "what the fuck" demographic: this is a freshly poured concrete floor in what is quickly becoming an attainable goal of being my own place. It's one of the original buildings here on the ranch, circa early 20's, and we've gutted everything out to start a new. I'm pretty stoked due to the fact that I've been living in Kim and Brandon's office for going on 6 months now and I'm pretty sure that this will be the coolest fort I have ever been a part of.
The next is the beginning of a slightly intimidatingly large project I'm painting for Willowbrook Nursing Home. This is a 4' LET 'ER BUCK logo. It's the war cry and matting call for all here in Pendleton OR. http://pendletonroundup.com/
I'm also working on a 14 piece 24"x18" series of characters in motion. If any of you readers are familiar with my silly little doodles of people with long ass legs and arms, it's going to be those. I'm post more when I make em.

This last one is just a view of what I look out at when I'm drinking a cup of coffee in the morning. Enjoy...
