The Have's & The Have Nots....

Ok... I know what you're thinking, but its not that at all. No art posting today, just rant. I wanna know why there are so few people in the world that have passion..WTF!Even if its just for having pets or stamp collecting, come on people! Is this because television has taken over and ruling people's lives? I hope not. It just seems to me that you either habe it or you dont...you can't aquire it if you are already an adult and dont have it. You can cultivate it but more time than not I seem people that have alot of it that dont care to grow it... it truly makes me sad. Its something that I identify with in other people, and I seek out...Its becoming more rare, like morals.....

Sketchbook Pages

I was going through some of my old sketchbooks looking for inspiration and BLAM! There is was! Inspiration galore....This one book I was going through had stuff i dont even remember drawing...and yes they are my sketches I know what your thinkin'....I guess it was just so long ago, I don't recall...but anyway I am looking to develop some new illustration material from what I find....this sketches were done, like, 5 years ago and my style of drawing has changed a bit....but for the better I would say.I am excited to start this project as I have a few more up my steeve..stay tuned...!

Sketching at Dr. Sketchy's -The Slipper Room, NYC

Here's a drawing that I did this past weekend, at Dr. Sketchy's at The Slipper Room, on the Lower east Side. These drawing sessions are fun becuase it always involves theatrical models scantily clad in Burlesque and feathers....and almost always seems to include a midget...awesome. Sometimes the departure from the normal nude model is nice because it keeps your imagination cranking and there is more information to draw with costume, as well as the themed contests that they have. I really enjoy going... oh and cheap beer doesn't hurt either...

New Projects coming in...

These are some snapshots of a quilt I am working on for Homestead, a housewares division Of Li & Fung US. I often sew samples for them for their showroom. In this case I need to insert a Embossed Microfiber fabric to the outter border, and attach it to the center woven Ikat fabric. Its fun, relaxing and a break from computer work. 2010 is coming in with a bang! Lots of projects, lots of things to do. I have to create some new animal characters for a neww sleepwear company I just started freelancing for. Its kind of new thing for me, a slightly older demographic than what im used to but I welcome the challenge.There s lots of stuff to do and I'm really excited! Busy! Busy! Busy!

More Danger Betty Sketches

Here is another addition of sketches for my brewery label project. I am trying to multi task between this project, improvements to my website, as well as searching for work, oh and laundry, lol...!
