Hooray for Jury Duty!

I had jury duty yesterday. I love to think of it as an extended
figure drawing session.

Unfortunately I got called to a case so I only got about two hours
of drawing time.

But I think you will see the characters I captured are quite unique.

Jordu Schell Creature Workshop at Spirit Gallery

I have just returned from an absolutely amazing workshop. The Spirit Gallery in New London, Connecticut was host to Hollywood creature creator Jordu Schell.

The week was filled with a lecture, demonstration, great stories and hands-on help by Mr. Schell. Each student created a full size character head which we then molded and cast in latex. We also created creature maquettes.

I met a lot of great artists who are also just great people.

Go paint outside!

It was such a lovely day I decided to make a big doodle outside.

I had some old canvases which I wanted to paint over.

Needed that sense of liberation that working large affords me.

I've received some request for detailed photos of the final pieces.

Hope you enjoy the images.

Thanks
