I moved over to tumblr. to post some stuff I'd been writing and sketching. It has turned exclusively into my portfolio of sketches with the occasional reblog of other interesting stuff I run across. So feel free to check it out:

I've been looking back over the blog recently. Fun memories, but it's barely breathing.

Sketches

In honor of the NBA playoffs, my sketch for this week will be inspired by a recent game footage photo from the Grizz-Thunder series. Depending on how things go tonight with the game, I'll figure out what he's looking at.

So I'm an art teacher now. I've enjoyed it and when the students get down to business, I can even work on some stuff with them. We all worked on a portrait from a black and white photograph. Here's mine.
