Lazy at Taylor

There is a stereotype about people with darker skin colors being lazy because sometimes it's true. This guy was at my workplace for a cleaning job and all he did was use his phone in the office. This was great because he sat still so I could draw him.

Hailey

When I was sitting in the art building lobby during my last semester of college, I made friends with this girl. It's a shame that one of the guys from my video group offended her by asking for sex. Social interactions were never the same after that.

Actors from book

I was sitting in the art building lobby at college during breaks 2 or 3 times per week for a whole semester. There was a book on the table and I worked multiple days to draw this photo from it. I shaded the whole page with charcoal, laid down black sharpie, erased, added charcoal and then white conte.

Chad and Grant - Annoying

We're Annoying and you have to listen to us

My 2 favorite Canadian acoustic musicians from Zoran Maslic's 2015 documentary, Annoying. Chad Fontaine and Grant Faithful.

Turkeys

I know that this was done in my senior year of high school 2001. The assignment was to bring in an old family photo and draw it, then paint it. The photo was taken of me at a zoo around 1984- -1986 with a camera that would redefine the phrase "point and shoot". It was a film roll camera, not a polaroid.

Blues Brothers diner scene

I drew the Blues Brothers for my dad's Christmas present last year. It's one of his favorite movies and he's almost blind, so I didn't have to do a very good job. I think they're alright.

Inside Out Woman #2

Figure drawing 2018. Matching skeleton with projected model image again. I think this one looks better than the other.

Inside Out Woman #1

Figure drawing class 2018. The prof said to match the skeleton model with the projected image. My foreshortening on the leg is not the best, but I think it looks alright otherwise.

Anonymous Girl Portrait

This was done for figure drawing class in 2018. The professor projected a photo on a screen. I was amazed at how little drawing from life happened in that class. I was under the impression that figure drawing would include live models, but that only happened 3 times in the whole semester.

Grasshopper Draft

This was for a drawing class in 2016 or 2017. The professor said to use contrasting colors and I busted this bad boy out in about half an hour. I had to work fast in that class because the professor was the type who would draw on students' work with a #2 pencil (hard to erase) so I had to finish everything before she came around to wreck it. Then I would tell her that it was easier and faster to start over than correct anything. One of my projects ended up being done on both sides of the paper.

Marilyn Manson Drawing

I drew this in 9th grade, which would make it 1997 or 1998. I tried to get it into the school art show with the rest of my portfolio in 2001, but it was rejected because of who I drew. It was either pencil or charcoal on paper.

King Diamond Drawing

I drew this in probably 2002/2003 from the Puppet Master DVD. Charcoal on paper.
