Day 2

Already got a couple of panels organized for the coming days, but tomorrow I'll be taking an early break from this narrative. A friend of mine from MTM will be heading out to paint in the park. So I'm going to try my hand at some on location painting.

I will be switching up the canvas as these tiles tend to melt in direct sunlight... seriously... but should be well above the 12 x 12 inch minimal size

Day 1

First day of the project... and I know, its the painting from before... yes I got started ahead of time, so technically I'm working 2 days ahead of schedule. Just a precaution for the sake of time and in the interest of sanity...



I really got to learn how to take better pictures of these things. Also the text will be added in once I figure out how to properly digitize them. No point in doing the extra dialog work and then having to redo it.

Hey kid, wanna know how the world ends?

To sound like a broken record. Apologizes for the delay in getting more things posted. Haven't had much time for art in the past few days, but I have been doing some renovation work around the house. In fact I was able to salvage some new painting canvas' from the basement tiles

they are 12 by 12 inch linoleum tiles from the 1940s. They wreak of moldy old glue, they crack pretty easily, and are very cold to paint on. oh, plus they tend to melt in the sun... but I got over 50 free canvas' so I've decided to do up a short story from the lightbulb head project. "Hey kid, wanna know how the world ends?"


that dialog will appear on the lower frame, from the past out hobo looking character there... The point of this project and the massive stack of 26 primed tiles so to try an complete a tile each day. Not sure if that will work out, but I'll be giving it my all.

on an unrelated note... here is where the magic happens, and incidentally the table that's the namesake of the blog

I'll clean it tomorrow is an ongoing motto

hey, its me

Ok, quick little post here... Finally finished up the last assignment for school... its my second attempt at a self portrait using tonal values... the first one I did ended up all bug eyed like an anime character, and shall never see the light of day again... this one I just ended up looking a bit like a convict, which is apparently what the school was looking for (seriously, the previous years looked like murders)


also figured I'd post a few old paintings/digital paintings from the project... and by the end of the month I'll post the first page from the project... promise

As Promised

I'll kick this off with a little life drawing... No real textbook exercises, these drawings are a combination of contour lines and weight/tonal studies...



figured I'd better post a couple of my subway sketches again... finally able to get out to a bar to do a couple of them far more interesting/active poses then sleepy people on the TTC...




Finally here is what has been keeping me busy... Please keep in mind that these are not the finished panels, there is no dialog/sound effects yet... hence the photograph instead of being properly scanned... I'm work hard on the first few pages, and hopefully be able to preview the first page later this week...

Now with Updates!!

Right, so I completely fell off track of updating this site... my bad... but that's gonna change... I will be updating this site several times a week (I hope) with any and all random artwork/sketches I've been producing...

so to kick off this occasion I've completed a painting inspired by a wonderful short story ... its pushing the length of a 'short' story, but a recommended read, and I know that author is always looking for constructive criticism.



next is a couple of colour theory paintings I completed for class.. abstract painting, but they are just a utility for the colour theory


ok, funny thing... that circle is supposed to be orange... but turned out... different...


and finally an introduction to my main project... I've post some perspective work from this project before, but hopefully with this extra free time I'll be able to get a few pages of the project completed... but till then here's a little sample (also a colour theory exercise)



more to come very shortly... (seriously, I just need to scan it)
be sure to have a good one till then....

I have Cerulean Blue veins

Right, a couple of little homework paintings to put up here... first one speaks for itself... and if you don't understand the language, then you certainly arn't pro enough...

We upgraded to full colour, so here is a terrible (but quick) rendition of a goblet 'O' 25 year old wine...


In life drawing, we've been doing a 5 hour Blind Contour Drawing... which is a exercise in tedium, but I've been enjoying how its turned out... this is after roughly 3 hours of drawing...


and finish off with an old facial gesture of some old guy from my class (but seriously, he's a great artist)
