Hi there, yes it’s been another long while since I last posted…. the last few months have been harder than I expected which in turn yielded some unexpected effects on me in many ways.. I’m working up the courage to share this with you soon.. I am discarding 2016 as a snake discards it’s old skin so that everything can begin again anew in the New Year and beyond.. I haven’t been totally idle.. doing a lot research and thinking over…
OMG!! I can’t believe it’s been two months since my last post!!!! life has definitely gotten in my way – things have gone down hill for me over the last two months, with loss of work and associated income.. and with that a general loss of motivation and focus.. leaving me very frustrated and somewhat despondent. I’ve been trying to grapple with where I am, what I am doing, what am I supposed to be doing and where the hell…
Here is my latest large piece at 17.5 x 22″ on Fabriano Artistico Extra White Hotpress 140lb/300gsm paper. I had the image/concept going around my head for some time so I decided to let it out!

Hi there everyone, I apologize for taking such a long time to add a new post.. time kind of got away on me.. and I am going through a hard time in my life right now which I am still on the fence in terms of putting my situation out there.. because to get where I want to go I really need help but I am trying to work out the best way to approach that. Anyway that being said,…

I finished this drawing a few days ago.. I especially enjoyed using the 6B pencil on the sky area.. And these two… “Little Orange Vespa” are 6 x 4 heavy CP watercolor paper. My reference image was thanks to Unsplash.com and…
Hi there, Recently I had a few people asking about the pencils I use.. for my dry pencils I use Faber Castell Polychromos – they are oil based, have good intensity and work really well for me.. But the real fun comes with using the watercolor pencils – I have a set of the Faber Castell Albrecht Durer Watercolor pencils… they have a great intensity and I really love how they work.. now I have read that when dry they…
I want to dedicate this to my girlfriend who has supported me and loved me from before I took this new road in my life… I truly wouldn’t be where I am at now if it wasn’t for her opening my eyes in a new way… I am very blessed! Enjoy the artwork! it is for sale, send me a message if you’re interested. 8 x 11″ (A4) Arches heavy watercolor paper, smooth, Faber Castell Watercolor Durer pencils and ink.
