WEEK 1 CONVENTION WARM UP!

I am heading to St. Petersburg, FL in November to attend the ISCA convention that they have annually. I attended my first one last year and it was so inspiring to meet a lot of artists who I didn't really know outside of the inter webs...if anyone is interested in caricature I'd definitely recommend checking out ISCA...it's worth a visit.

ANYWAYS...to help warm up for the convention I am going to be following drawing more and more celebs (via facebook groups: caricaturama showdown 3000 & traditional caricature art contest, which are also cool if any artist wants to check those out their are usually some really good pieces on their).

SO here is the first weeks subjects I only got to do one really finished one, and the others are sketches or quick warm ups of the subject.

This was a warm up of Obama...he's a politician

Here is a sketch of simone simons I did, she's a singer i think...

Here is a more finished one i did of Lil Wayne...

That's it for week 1 of my CONVENTION WARM UP DRAWINGS.

Next week I will be posting more...i know...you can't wait that long...well too bad. later blog.

Transit Folk

Here is a new thing I've been trying out in my sketchbook. I call it transit folks and it's just a collage of people i see during my rides on the public transit system. I sketch them out in random lead pencils and traced over with illustration pens and sharpie for the darker outlines and black fill. Let me know what you guys think.

Will Ferrell

My take on Will Ferrell...Had some slow time at work today and made this. I am also working on a full painted piece that will have an All Star type cast of SNL and Mr. Ferrell will be on that as well.

New live work

Here are a few sketches from work I did yesterday. It's been different as an artist at my job lately. Not having artists who work hard at the craft and inspire has kind of put me in a funk. Now I'm one of the older artists who work there and so I'm trying really hard to kind of push them in the right direction and help them get better...if they want too....anyways I got off track...take a look at these sketches, they were really fun to do and the guests were very fun to talk with and had a good laugh at the sketch when it was done.... which is worth more to me than what little I get for doing this...:D ENJOY

Wayne Rooney

Here is a quick caricature of Manchester United's (hopefully) WAYNE ROONEY. Still one of my favorite strikers...

New hire

This is one of our new hires at work. She was nice enough to pose for a picture.
