3. The Pleasure Connection Preliminary Sketches 1-5

I still was not sure if creating comics, was something I could remain passionate about. I knew I had the stories and fantasies. But, the patience was still lacking, and the process could be so boring, and lackluster. There have been many times, I sat at my drawing table, and said I will not create another comic strip, after this one. My process is very tedious. Recently, I tried to exclude a step or two. But, then I accepted the fact, that I was rushing the process, and cheating myself from learning and improving in challenging areas, that I could definitely benefit from as an artist. " The Pleasure Connection ",is a fantasy about a landscape worker I used to see from the windows at work.

Man Riding Another Man & Other Drawings

1. Man Riding Another Man 2. Man Standing Beside Car 3. Man Standing In Closet 4. The Writer 5. Man Standing Before A Mirror 1.

Eric Dolphy and other jazz themed pieces

1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 1. Eric Dolphy, is one of my personal favorite drawings. He is also one of my favorite musicians. This piece is inspired by one of my favorite photographs. It is by the great photographer Francis Wolff. A photo taken during one of Dolphy's recording sessions. I love the flute solos from this multi instrumentalist. The flute in general is my favorite instrument, if I had to pick one to play. One of the reasons, is because of the beautiful Eric Dolphy, who passed away too soon. He also was an incredibly gifted alto saxophonist and bass clarinetist. I consider his Out To Lunch album, as the " great American novel " in a musical format, by this awesome performer. 2. Swingin' Easy ( For Sarah Vaughan) is a tribute to my favorite singer, The Divine One herself. I wanted to capture the vibe and energy, of being in an intimate and small jazz club, while watching an amazing performance. The excitement and awestruck sound of Sarah Vaughan is just so otherworld...
