Momentary Zen

MomentaryZen.jpg

This is a 7" x 7" sketch for a larger oil on canvas piece I have planned. If you'd like to commission this at a specific size, I'd love to hear from you. Since it is somewhat monochromatic in concept, I can consider any specifically suggested hues. That's what I value about detailed sketches; more choices present themselves.

and now a word from Michelangelo Buonarroti...

Not historically accurate, but very truthy. There was no love lost between the two.

Enhance Your Life!

Lately, I've been fooling around with that peculiar American 1950's ethos, conformity laced with manic optimism.

Caricature Challenge

D.Tcaricature.jpg
When two caricaturists get together for beers, at some point, one of them will be unable to stop himself from posing this doozy:"Hey, let's caricature the hell out of the other!"

And so it goes.

Above is my caricature of Doug Toney, a fellow caricaturist who got my attention recently with his very cool work.

JCcaricature.jpg
This is Doug Toney's wacky style in spades. The best caricature of me I've ever seen. His use of digital techniques is fun to look at and he still has that wacky edge that sets his work apart.

Our styles are markedly different; mine being a bit old school with watercolors on paper with a smidgeon of Photoshop. Doug is more comfortable with creating most of his visual effects in Photoshop. But I will be clear about this: his drawing skill is more than evident and sets his work apart from other digital artists who obviously haven't mastered drawing. Doug's the real deal.
