1. " Ain't Thinkin' 'Bout It " is one of my favorite drawings so far. The position and foreshortening, is one of the greatest ways to express my foot fetish in a drawing. The lines are simple, yet very effective. The title was inspired by a musical composition, performed by one of my favorite jazz pianists, named Bobby Timmons. The body gesture of this piece and facial expression, suggests that his mood, is one with such an attitude, as my chosen title.

2. I was trying to hang on to every subject, that interested me. The trees were still being drawn, periodically, along with other styles and mediums for subjects of interest. I would work on one piece for a certain amount of time, and switch to other pieces within one setting, each day. This kept all of my ideas and creative urges satisfied. But, I realized that this kind of work ethic was not ideal. I prefer to focus on less, during a given period of time, with more effort and patience. This also prevents less chances of experiencing burnout.

3. This piece turned out better than I expected. The sketch that was created initially, was a favorite of mine. And I decided to make a final drawing of it. The first drawing involved partially filled in areas of ink wash, to give it an unfinished, yet effective aesthetic. After viewing the results, I did not feel satisfied at all with it. I felt like it was over expressing, what could be more essential and effective, without washes. I created another drawing with Micron pens, and excluded my washes.

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. Man Riding Another Man, is another piece that was drawn with a brush and ink, with washes added. It was also done on a scrap piece of mat board. This is a position I like to draw, and it produces various outcomes, regardless of how it is created. This is a good angle to draw, because it displays the most in depth physical perspective of this sexual position, while including much space of the room within the same setting. 2. Man Standing Beside Car, was an early attempt at drawing a car effe...

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...
