Tetsujin 28 (April 2009)




















A study in white.
The original version of Gigantor was a childhood favorite. And my coffee cup of course.

Carla (April 2009)




















Very difficult to paint friends. They move a lot. And I tend to edit myself while painting as not to offend. Carla was a good sport and allowed me the opportunity to 'paint the most unflattering likeness possible.' Personally, I like it. Very loose brush strokes.

Jamie (April 2009)




















We had problems with the changing sunlight. Without blackout curtains it's very difficult to paint at home.

Leggy (April 2009)















A detail of hands. It is also an experiment with using linen instead of canvas. Jury's still out.

Unknown Model (1997)




















When I was a production artist in LA, I was encouraged to spend my lunch hour in the life-drawing studio. Ever try eating a sack lunch four feet from someone posing nude?

Unfinished gladiator pose.
