some faraway beach
approx 6" x 8"
color pencil on paper

This piece was made this fall. It currently exists in a sketchbook, hence the shadowy appearance of the photograph. This image makes a good desktop background, I recommend setting it as "centered" and using a very light gray color for the surroundings.

I made this about a month ago after watching Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas. I'm thinking of taking this image and making an oil painting, possibly adding some color.

This is an oil pastel drawing from late this summer. Its a larger piece, three by two feet. The material is from a large spool of packaging paper that I saved from work.

I'm not sure if this is true for other artists, but I'm often more motivated by the prospect of making something than I am about the image itself. Nothing makes me want to draw like a stack of blank paper.

One day I would like to make a very large drawing, maybe twelve by twelve feet, something larger than me that I could stand next to. If anyone comes across a huge piece of cardboard or wood that they don't want, like something that's over eight feet on one side, let me know, I'd like to see what happens.
