Its not easy to finding a random stranger who doesn’t move much and happens to be situated at a good angle, but sometimes it works out. Lovely lines . . . .

Fight the Power!
Fileteado
An experiment in the iconic Argentine decorative motif of fileteado, Just to show that I (occasionally) branch out into non-figure-related areas!
Drawing this sort of decoration is actually surprisingly difficult; a strong sense of flow, hierarchy, and proportion is essential to avoiding a confused mass of curls.
A Very Cool Lad
Oh, to be this cool! So cool that your skin turns blue. An old one, but definitely worth posting.
A Professional Disagreement
I admit, I drew this mostly as an excuse to create flowing trouser lines . . . .
Hell hath no fury . . .
Another old sketch of mine.
That one frumpy mom . . . .
For as long as I can remember, this has been the image that springs to mind when I hear the name Ruth; Bushy grey helmet-hair, receding chin, unflattering glasses, and only the finest in nineties fashion.
Strangely enough, I can’t identify a specific Ruth that inspired this image; its more a composite of various frumpy mothers I’ve met over the years, and somehow that name just stuck. Don’t fret though, lovely Ruth’s of the world– I have an even less flattering association with my own name! Stay tuned . . .
Portrait on grey
This fellow has clearly seen too much.
Yet Another Neck Beard
Neck beards! It looks like I just can’t get enough of them! This was the result of a long afternoon of sketching at Powell’s Books. Be expecting more digital coloring such as this, although of course I’ll always prefer doing it by hand . . .
