Simple Line Art Illustration of a Man, His Wandering Thoughts and His Plaid Jacket


Experimenting a bit with my illustration style. Keeping it simple. I think this look could be good for clothing catalog illustration, editorial illustration, conceptual illustration, music industry illustration and portrait illustration. I like the antiqued paper background, black line done with pencil and the white shirt detail. I can see this style being expressive yet simple. Nice plaid jacket too on our model.
I have often liked my initial sketches more than the final illustrations. Here I've blown up a small sketch. I like that initial energy of the small sketch. It lives.
More to come...

New Project - Art on records


Started a new project for an upcoming show - Art on record. Painting on vinyl records. Interesting shape. We'll see what happens here. Luckily the local Salvation Army store had plenty of worthy records for $1 each. My goal is to do 5 for the show.
Acrylic seems to stick pretty well. Gave each record a light sand and applied gesso. TBC.

Is this done yet


Dramatic change on this painting this weekend. It wasn't working for me so I went back in. It is starting to look like something.

I did this collage from images in my sketchbook as a way to guide me in my new painting.
