Images are back...

I uploaded my images again and now they are appearing. I am not sure why they weren't working, but hopefully they will be fine from now on.

I submitted a drawing today for Blue Moon Brewing Co. art contest. They are having a few different ones, but I submitted for the Chicago show. They select 25-40 pieces to be put in a show at the Museum of Contemporary Art on July 31st.

I am not allowed to publish my drawing, so I can't post it here. I have seen a few other people post theirs on their blogs, but I don't want to take any chances.

This is the first contest I have ever entered. Wish me luck!

Pics in blog...

I am not sure why the pics that I have posted within my blog posts are not showing up. I will have to do a little investigating and get that fixed.

I hope you all have some nice plans made to enjoy the summer. I already took my vacation a couple weeks ago in L.A. It was very nice and I had a great time.

It is a very rainy summer so far. I hope that it gets a little better as time goes on. It would be nice to take off a few days and enjoy the nice hot weather.

Lion drawing...

My latest drawing is of a lion....I am pretty pleased with it, although I am going to draw it a different way and I will post that when I am through.

Christmas cards...

I have uploaded my 2006 and 2007 Christmas card drawings. I guess I never uploaded a pic from last year, so here are both of them.

Happy New Year....

The holidays are ending as we are already at New Year's Eve. I hope you enjoyed your holiday season.

I have been doing a lot of thinking about my art lately. I am contemplating doing pet portraits. I really love to draw animals, it comes easy to me, so I thought maybe I would give that a shot. I just need to find the time to do it.

Last year was a very busy year for me....as was the prior year, so I am hoping to get a break from busyness this year so that I can enjoy some time to spend on my art. I did draw a lion the other day, but I have to build up the values a bit more before I post it.

I hope you all enjoy any parties that you will be attending tonight and are ready to ring in 2008....I sure am!

It's been a while....

It has been a while since I have posted or worked on any art. I just don't know where the time goes. The summer flew by. It is already fall and the weather is getting that chill in the air. Christmas will be here before we know it. I am going to have to start moving and get my drawing done for my Christmas cards before the time sneaks up on me and it is too late.

I do have some pictures that I took back in May from my trip to Ireland that I have been meaning to post. I have a handful that are quite good.

The drawing below is my first portrait drawing. It needs lots of help, but not too bad for my first try.

Happy 4th of July....

It has been a long while since I have posted...so I thought I would pop in and wish everyone a Happy 4th of July. The first half of the year has been super busy for me. I am hoping that the second half calms down and gets boring...Have a good one!
