Henrick Vanger turn arounds + preview

Henrick Vanger, played by Christopher Plummer. After Rooney Mara, I thought it best to swing in the opposite direction and work on someone who is very much not a young woman.

Martin Vanger (played by Stellan Skarsgard) is next. It is hard trying to get across how creepy he is in this movie.

Lisbeth Salander turn arounds

I'm pretty excited for this one. A little bit of a different departure from what I have been working on, based on some comments I received at Comic-Con.

Here are some head turn arounds for the character Lisbeth Salander from The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo. This is the first of a few characters I'm working on. I tried to capture Rooney Mara, but still make it able to be animated. I hope you enjoy.

2012 Life Drawing

No matter how much time I allot myself to make (and remake....and remake) my portfolio, it always takes longer than I anticipate.

That said, here's a page of life drawings that, overall, I'm pretty pleased with.

2001: A Space Odyssey WIP

I meant to finish this one tonight, but you know how self imposed deadlines often go. :/

Plenty more to finish, then correct as well.

Ground Control to Major Tom

Art dump!

Some stuff I have been working on. Almost done with the portrait, the hands are continuous studying, the Victorian home was painted on a cloudy day, so that combined with not enough plein air training means I'm not happy with it but posting anyway, and the last was Balboa Park which I think is more successful.

Bridgeman hand studies

Some hand studies from George Bridgeman.

Went on an awesome ride with my Dad yesterday up to Temecula and back. Plenty of twisties to go around and some more straight roads as well. Talked to a couple of Harley riders who came all the way from Burbank. It was a great day.
