Day two of my week long series of ‘People of Color’. I like plaid people. I wish more
people were plaid.

People of Color #1 – A Spotted Woman with Flyer

by Administrator | Aug 11, 2008 | animal, creature, drawing, face, fantasy, girl, idea, ink, marker, portrait, sketch, sketchbook, thought, woman

This week you get to see sketchbook drawings again, woo hoo! These are colored marker
drawings I have done over the years. I drew, then colored, the people.

Most will have symbols and images familiar to those who have seen my work over the
years. I would love to know your thoughts on those symbols and the drawings in general.

Portrait in the Mist

Last of the week long series on portraits.

Stare

by Administrator | Aug 7, 2008 | face, freckles, girl, model, pose, redhead, senior, woman

Another in my series of portraits. She was modeling for our local photo group. I
walked away from the group, looking around the back of this barn they were using. I
found this gorgeous rust and metal wall and immediately went back and stole the model
away for a brief amount of time to get this shot.

She Dreamt it Into Being

by Administrator | Aug 6, 2008 | asian, black and white, eyes, face, korean, pores, portrait, skin, student, texture, woman

I love doing portraits with one eye closed. There is something so disconcerting about
it at first. But it then also allows you to think about two different aspects of the
person at the same time, and how they coexist. Plus it just looks really cool.

Portrait with Brick and Wind

by Administrator | Aug 5, 2008 | dancer, face, girl, model, portrait, woman

Another in my week of portraits. This is a dancer/model from the Tulsa Ballet who posed
for our photo group in the spring of 2008. I don’t know her background, but I see a
real Russian look to her with her eyes and bone structure in particular.

The Storm Inside

by Administrator | Aug 4, 2008 | black and white, face, photograph, pores, portrait, wind, woman

Another in my week long series of detailed portraits from the last few years.
This one is of a dental hygienist where I get my teeth worked on. She is much prettier
than this photo shows since I manipulated it extensively to bring out all the details of
her skin texture.

Portrait in a Kitchen

by Administrator | Aug 1, 2008 | brunette, daughter, face, girl, kitchen, photo, photograph, portrait, teen, woman

This is a series of black and white images that I worked on to create a very painterly,
beautiful and moody feel to them. I wanted them to look hyper real yet very other
worldly at the same time.
