Brooklyn Naval Drawings

Demologos a.k.a. USS Fulton

after a drawing by Samuel Ward Stanton 1895

Ink on Paper

One more in the series of illustrations where I dug up (Googled) old pictures of Brooklyn Naval History and recreated them in ink. Thanks to Robert Fulton for designing the Demologos and Samuel Ward Stanton for drawing it for his book.

ol' melthead compooter

Ol' Melthead makes a return to the blog via Adobe photo/illustrate back-country roads. Sketchbook makes it through the compu in one piece and a nice digital piece it is. Shoot, I'd hire this guy for some design jobs or some shit. Blogs are soo biased. Agree?

handmaid a scene

This is an old doody I did a couple years ago. The handmaid is a handy one to have around. She's really hands on and certainly has a handle on handmade things.

Now in MINISCULE

This is one from a series of mini paintings.

workin hard @ hardly workin

After another long back-breaker week of art handling, back in the studio working on some paintings. This piece is the latest in a series of wood panel paintings on repurposed shipping crates. These crates were built to ship art, now they are it.

Separate Soul Sketch

A page from the 2009 daily planner/sketchbook containing the original drawing that went on to become the painting, Separate Soul. A quasi-figurative, mandala-esque puddle, swirling into a swiss cheese cosmos, with a half moon heart.
