Contemplation - original ink drawing male portrait


Dark strong shadows add to his masculine appearance, this raw piece made with inks and acrylics is bold and transfers male energy well. This piece was drawn with a live model, the study of the human form fascinates me, each person brings in a different energy and makes me work in a different and to often to me surprising way.

I thoroughly enjoy opening up every session and let the moment decide the outcome.

the drawing has some smudges, and imperfections, but will look great framed.

This is a drawing on 130GSM Artists paper.

Size : 84 x 60 cm, 30 x 24"

Ukulele fun Will Conner painted


Sometimes I end up painting in the funniest places, me and my big 'yeah I'll paint at your fundraiser' mouth. Any way we seem to have a big fun ukulele community going in the bay and man some of the bands where going off. I had the pleasure to paint Will Conner and it sure was fun only 20 minutes to paint, bob to his music, and a nice encouraging applause afterwards. I recommend checking out his music, it's in the genre of Jack Johnson, Girls love this stuff ;) I loved it and had a very chilled out time painting sorry for the poor photo, hope to get some better shots than this one.
