Branimal

This is a self portrait in oil on a canvas panel. I was thinking about the animal instincts that we have inherently as humans.

Sloth n' Gecko

A sketch with pen and white charcoal.

Cat & Mouse

This is a random character done with watercolor and prismacolor overlay.

Reaching with trepidation

Black and white charcoal on toned paper.

Abandoned House...

This is my first attempt at a cartoon background.

Agnes B. Cluck

This is a character I created in my cartooning class. It's kinda my first time with this kinda stuff. Most of my art is more classical/realism.

Time to let go...

These are 2 separate oil paintings. But they go together.

Spooked waiter

I'm experimenting in photoshop with simple black and white drawings and with line thickness.

Running back

This is one of my most recent oil paintings. 24 x 36 - SOLD

A Struggle

I've created many different depictions of my struggle to follow Christ. This is one of them. The medium is clay and I'll probably use some sort of metal finishing to complete it. By the way, if you ever have any questions about my art, please ask. I would love to talk about it with you. Update: please enjoy this picture, cause a lot of the piece exploded during the firing. So, so sad...

Transient

This is a medallion sculpture of a "homeless man" on the street corner...

Destructive thoughts

Still got frustration and anger going on. These are the kinda things that come out when I feel this way.

Friend

This is a line sketch I did of one of my friends. It doesn't look like him, but I dug the way it came out.

frustration & anger

The root within

This is a sculpture that I've recently been working on. I was thinking about how God continuously pulls out the crap in our lives and helps us to be more like him. I was visualizing the crap that we fill ourselves with as a root growing inside of us trying to suck the life wherever it can and how God grabs hold of that root and yanks it out.

Hand Sketch

This is an impressionistic sketch I did of my hand in Corel Painter using the impasto brush.

Racism...Doesn't make sense

I recently thought of the concept or "beginning" of racism and realized how ridiculous it is.
This is my attempt at illustrating that ridiculousness.

Divided

So... There was a movie playing in the front room which I could hear even with the door closed. Then there's this speed metal (1) band playing down the street which was crazy loud. I was becoming somewhat frustrated (mostly with the metal band) and then I started just laughing to myself feeling like I was stuck in between 2 different scenes which I could not, or at least would not control. It was good. After a while the combination of the two actually helped me to draw. It also reminded me of being divided in life and having to make choices. I hate making choices. But again and again I'm forced to. I always hope I'm making the right ones.

1. Ok, I think I'm getting old. The band that was playing was what I refer to as death metal. Crazy heavy guitar, a guy screaming to the point where you can't understand anything. But, I believe that's pretty much the same thing as screamo isn't it? Maybe I'm wrong...

Fat Guy

This is a picture I drew after I had a ton of food to eat and was feeling stinkin' full. I kinda felt like this guy, though I didn't have a chicken leg like this guy. I was thinking of adding a KFC to the background but couldn't figure out how to do it right.
