I’ve wanted to do a self-portrait for quite some time now, especially one that I could use as my avatar where I post as an artist. I’ve held off for a variety of reasons. One, it feels a wee bit vain. Second, it felt a tad bit boring as a theme. Three, I was pretty sure adding some face tattoos and elven ears would get lumped on the #beentheredonethat pile all to quickly. So when I started out to create a self-portrait, I really did not think it would go much further than a quick sketch.

As often happens, when I’m in longer meetings where I’m mostly listening to others, I will use “doodling” as a way of helping me stayed engaged and listen “more better”. While it’s in argubly strange to some, doodling indeed allows me to listen better, not worse, than if I just straight-up listened.

The last in the series of dragon concepts I did for C.R. Sandidge wines, I finally spent some time to do a rendering. While a little less painterly, I thought the balance of line and painterly approaches melded well together.

Dragons, Dragons and more Dragons!

Awhile back, seemingly almost two years ago, I happened to be sitting at one of my favorite wineries with my iPad in-hand. As I oft due, especially in crowded spaces, I was engrossed in sketching while trying to ignore the cacophony that is, to my ears, humans in a crowded space.

I have been working with another artist on a cover for a dice box. My contribution is to provide the top box art, which he will then use a laser etcher to add to the precision-cut wood boxes. At present, we’ve landed on a 10″ by 2″ box (5:1 aspect ratio). The current piece is just me going a bit silly on the rendering since ultimately the final piece, minus either of us doing post etch work, will come out black and white. If I was serious about it, I would clean up my lines and coloring. Nevertheless, I thought it a pretty cool design worth sharing.
