Raw nipples

I recently got a new pair of running shoes. They were a Christmas gift from my In laws. I had been ceasing my running activities for nearly a year, due to wearing out my last pair and not having the ability to get a new pair for the near future. I was very grateful. 

Yesterday I went for a reasonable run. I got halfway through and noticed my nipples were rubbing raw. Something I had forgotten about my running routine from before. Always make sure you Vaseline your nipples before going for a run, or face the consequences of raw nipples. If not checked for too long, on long runs they can actually be rubbed raw to the point of bleeding.

My wife took these photos of me. We thought it was fun.

Lost in Time WIP 2

I just wanted to share the next stage in Lost in Time with everyone. I decided to have fun with the character and give her fun  funky leggings. I played off the blues and purples I've been working into the piece. We'll see how the rest of the piece works out. I have a pretty good idea of how it will wrap up, though inspiration can be a finicky thing.

Lost in Time WIP

Lost in Time is a commissioned piece involving a figure being pulled through time with a fascination with clocks. It will have three focal figures flowing through the piece; an infant, a youthful woman and an elderly woman. All figures are metaphors for the life journey of the same individual. Here it is about 2/3's completed. It is being done on Strathmore rag paper with Prismacolor Colored pencils, 8.5”x 11”.

What we live for.

Art is what we live for, it is life. Creative self exploration is our sustenance.

Moments of doubts and clarity

I believe in some way we all strive to reach a certain picture of normality. Sooner or later we come to the realization that all we have is our individual distinguishable talents and our temperaments to them. We are inflicted with our own moments of doubts and clarity. We are punished by time pulled away from our creativity and cherish our moments of uninterrupted creation.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!!!

I hope everyone is well. Things have been crazy with the holidays the last few weeks. We're entertaining family and jingling Christmas bells around the old 'new' plastic tree, (manufactured in China).
This time of the year, among a few others always gets me a bit rattled. So if I don't get back on until next year, have a Merry, Creative, and highly Productive Christmas and Happy New Year to Everyone!!!!
May your walls shine with Art, your palette never run dry and all your imagined creations come to life on your working surface of your desired medium!!!!

Looking forward to being inspired by everyones continued creative masterpieces and trudging forward to reach new heights of production!
