Freedom of Flight

I wasn't exactly sure what I started on this one and it kinda came out like this. The ground looks a little weird. The flying dude is uh... flying.

Blank Stare...

I'm experimenting more with my new software. It feels more like "real" painting all the time. Pretty crazy. I had a background on this one but it seemed to distract a little. Anybody have any suggestions or comments? B.T.W. for those of you who are looking at this, go ahead and leave a comment or two, that'd be cool. I believe I have it set to anonymous, meaning you don't have to have a "blog" account to leave a comment. Thanks for looking..... enjoy the colorful guy with the blank stare.

The Great Pumpkin Carrier

I was trying to experiment with this sketch, using black and white with little color on a colored background. I kinda like the way the difference came out.

Shady hitchhiker

Ya know... a weird guy, you see on the side of the road who wants a ride. Although, he has a motorcycle jacket on. What's up with that? If he has a motorcycle jacket, that probably means he has a motorcycle. But, if that's the case, why the heck is he hitchhiking? Did he run out of gas? Lose his keys? Run out of people to kill so he's trying to catch a ride with poor, defenseless, harmless you? Maybe... or maybe not. Who knows, and who really cares, it's just a darn drawing.

By golly it's been a while...

This is my first complete drawing
with my new tablet. It's pretty fun using this thing.
It's like painting, but 50,000 times faster.
Without the smell of solvents. hehehe
I call it..... my apple!

Our God ~ The essence of beauty and fear

Just a little sketch of an eye, that kinda got carried away. Although, I do think it does give a sense of beauty and fear simutaneously. hmmm....

Pierced

I'm experimenting with colored pencils on this one.
It came out ok. It looked more gestural &
figurative in pure graphite, but that's ok...

Hope

This is my first sketch for my new blog...
It's entitled Hope.

Composed of graphite on paper
with minor photoshop enhancements.

First Blog

Hello, everyone. This is my first blog, I'm a little intimidated but also excited about how this. I just want to say first off that I actually created this blog in review and envy of John D's "sketchblog." I was just veiwing it and wanted to leave a comment, but couldn't cause I wasn't a memeber; well, now I am! So, John D. if you're reading this, you will now recieve comments from me, like: "hey that's cool" or "nice color" or something like that. I must say I was also influenced by Karen's Blost, which, if those of you reading this don't know is a blog about the show "Lost." This blog will be somewhat of an art update on me, with some drawings and such and it will also be random tidbits of things I see and observe in this world. If you're wondering about the title/web address of this blog, since I try to follow Jesus, I see myself as one his men, I actually see all of us trying to follow him as his men (men: meaning men/women).

Thanks for readin'
