Wheee!

Cowtown

I will be away for the next two weeks, so posting might not be very regularly. I will be going home to Calgary, Alberta!

This is a small visual sampling on my thoughts about Calgary. I hope I don't come off too negative. Its faults are also its charms. And lest you think I'm being smug, know that complaining about this stuff is the same as New Yorkers bemoaning tourists and the real estate market.

Under the Boardwalk

Hornwarts and Guppydor

It is truly Harry Potter insanity here in New York. I don't really keep up wtih the series, but Sam is a big fan. So we went to B&N in Union Square today to pick it up and it was like being in some surreal movie where some miracle product is released and there are dozens of people in line waiting to buy the same thing. Stepping out in the street, everyone was holding the book or you could see it in their bags or they were reading it on the subway.

On the upside, maybe now I don't have to do the obligatory HP illustrations every year...

Process Sketch

This guy was a sketch for an illustration project last year. They didn't go for it, but I think I'm going to eventually try to do this on my own, since it's one of my favourite sketches in my backlog. It's extinct animal species in a museum type diorama. Anyone who's visited the Museum of Natural History here in New York will be familiar.

It also gives one a sense of my sketch process.

Round Woman

Old Drawing

I am rooting around in my folders and I came upon this. I think it's from last summer (don't really draw noses like that anymore), but it sort of looks like the self-portrait thing I posted a few days ago.

Nude Beach

My summers

Gloves

Chinese People

I drew this while watching a PBS documentary on the Chinese legal system. I am a big public broadcasting booster. And I have the totebag to prove it!




This was actually a very good exercise. You can probably tell which ones were done first and which were done later, when I loosened up a bit.

This is actually a very hipster-y drawing... eep.
