Day 2007-12-27 (uploaded by DRA Studio)Day #21 – I am really liking the lines and patterns in these pieces. The mesh-work in the bottom panel seems to have a great balance with the empty white characters within. What do you think?

Day 2007-12-26 (uploaded by DRA Studio)Day #20 – These turned out a bit smaller in size, but made for plenty more nibblets of fun and joy. No, I don’t know what is going on with the “Yes” bubble. I am confused by that too.

Day 2007-12-24 (uploaded by DRA Studio)Day #18 – The line-work in the far left piece makes me really happy. Plus, Wolvie getting a birthday cake makes me smile.

Day 2007-12-22 (uploaded by DRA Studio)Day #16 If the solace of life has keep you from the bread river, look deep past the snarl’s embrace.You will find that socks don’t bite and vested vestigials don’t sing. Rays of light are more for fright and less for fear.Okay, so I am back to the felt-tip brush pen and as you can see, the details are much better and the line work is cleaner. I was messing a ...

Day 2007-12-21 (uploaded by DRA Studio)Day #15 – Enjoy the lines … I think I through with just the Sharpie approach … it keeps giving me loose and thick and I want detailed.

Day 2007-12-19 (uploaded by DRA Studio)Day #13 – Robot balloons, skeleton tunes, and crabby rangoons. I am not too happy with these lines … they are so much stiffer than I would prefer. It is because I haven’t been able to find any of those red 2mm leads for my mech pencil holder and I am running out of red Crayola color pencils. I am going to try moving to another lighter color today … ...

Day 2007-12-18 (uploaded by DRA Studio)Day #12Bandanas, bubbles, bandages, and probably more vomit that most people are comfortable with. But then again, I really don’t know what I am going to draw when I sit down to do these … hmm, probably more on that later. The discussion of whether I define art or art defines me is always an interesting one.

Day 2007-12-17 (uploaded by DRA Studio)Day #11Slithering snakes and screaming cheesy toast cakes! Sketching is so much fun!Oh, if you have a few free minutes today, why not check out Vera’s and Raina’s new sites. They both had recent re-designs and I can’t get enough of either of their illustration work. Beautiful lines and colors … and who doesn’t like a girl artist. ;)

Day 2007-12-16 (uploaded by DRA Studio)Day #10Some really pretty lines, if I do say so myself. Oh, and why not head over and check out Ape Lad’s printable ABCs book on flickr. Fun, fun stuff!

Day 2007-12-15 (uploaded by DRA Studio)Day #9 – Ribbons, tongues, a couple of ice cube houses … and how about a pretty falcon eye, heh?

Day 2007-12-12 (uploaded by DRA Studio)Day #6. Hopefully you will love this set as much as I do. Lots of fun work with negative space, composition, weight and just play silly goodness.How wonderful, right?

Day 2007-12-11 (uploaded by DRA Studio)Sorry for the delay on this one … but here is Day #5. Clean lines and some fun abstractions, but definitely on the weird side.

Meadow – Angle (uploaded by DRA Studio)Michelle and I decided to paint some books tonight while watching You’ve Got Mail (somewhat silly, I know) … this one goes out to “Evil Annie” … who has been waiting on something from me for a long long time now.Here’s to hairy mammoth’s and their sincere love and hoping that “Evil Annie” is reading this and will email me about confirming her address again.Love!

Day 2007-12-9 (uploaded by DRA Studio)Here’s to Day #3 of 365 Days of Sketches. Its got a couple of devils … so maybe that’s why all the other sadness is happening. Death by a candy-cane … wallowing in beer … and love torn apart. Hmm. Interesting. Your thoughts? Btw, just picked up some new pen nibs and brushes from Michaels yesterday. I am still in search of a local place to buy 2mm blue pencil leads ...

Day 2007-12-8 (uploaded by DRA Studio)Day #2 of my 365 Daily Sketches. Lots of good stuff here. Freckles, beef steak, capes, apples and just enough jewels to make you crazy.

Day 2007-12-7 (uploaded by DRA Studio)Here is my first post of what I am really really (no, really) hoping will be daily full page sketches. Robot Johnny has been posting a lot of really great warm-up sketches and it is making me jealous of all the time he has to sketch. So here goes.For the betterment of my pen skills and for the wiggling of my brain juices, here we go. Enjoy and definitely comment ...

Creature (uploaded by DRA Studio)A submission for your enjoyment from my Physical vs. Digital sketchbook. I am not sure where he came from exactly, but I definitely had a lot of fun with the detailed lines … zoom in to see the details. I think there are some Egyptian and/or Stargate influences in there. What do you think?I am kind of excited about this, being that it is one of the first of my pieces I ...

Pink Gaah! – Closeup (uploaded by DRA Studio)It was a nice laid-back Sunday today, so I was able to finish up a piece I had started on Thursday. I really didn’t have anything specific in mind for this one … just wanted to fill an empty canvas that had been sitting on my studio floor waiting. I am thinking I might not keep this one, as I really didn’t paint it for anyone in particular. If ...

Illustration Friday – Twist (uploaded by DRA Studio)Here is my non-entry from last week’s Illustration Friday theme of "twist". I have been so lazy and busy, I missed the chance to submit this. Oh well. Still fun. And look at those majestic punk teeth? Beautiful!

Calima Monster (uploaded by DRA Studio)He’s scary. He’s red. He’s got horns. He’s the pimp vectored version of my recent marker-attoo. Why not make today National Draw On Yourself Day? It’s not like it is already any other holiday … right? ;)Why “calima”? Those belly stripes remind me of the stripes on the stones in IJ’s Temple of Doom. “Calima! Calima! Calima!” Yeah. Scared me too.

Vampires Scare Me (uploaded by DRA Studio)Guess who couldn’t finish The Lost Boys this morning because he got scared? Yup, I am a scaredy-cat.
