Tyler School of Art

Hey all. I happened to come across some images that I had previously used on my now defunct web pages. It'd be a shame to delete them into the nether regions of cyberspace so I decided to post them here instead. These are a few drawings that I did for David Noyes' Illustration class during my Graduate School tenure at the Tyler School of Art.

Wacom Cintiq 21ux: I WANT this bad!



For those of you who have simple Wacom tablets I realate to you. They are not aesthetically pleasing, but they serve their function. However, in order to reach the new digital art frontier,(not to mention justify shelling out for art school) we should indulge our artistic side once in a while by purchasing this amazing machine!

Shaking off the rust...

Being an art teacher definitely has its drawbacks. For example, focusing on your student's art severly puts a damper on your own work. Thus the creation of this blog. I will be trying to get back into "art shape" by working on my shortcomings (Which are plentiful let me tell you). My first "project is to get better at drawing heads. I've never been good at drawing them so its now time to step up so to speak. I've been influenced by many different instructors in my time, primarily those from the School of Visual Arts, Mike Mattesi, James McMullen, and John Ruggeri. Critiques are welcome but please be gentle ok? Images to follow VERY soon.

Carpe Diem!






















My very first blog entry. I know. I'm a sheep. Here are a few drawings from a session at the Spring Studio (http://www.springstudiosoho.com/) yesterday. Picture quality can't be helped due to archaic digital camera.
