58 Amelia and Moe

Hello all. Greetings from Opelieka alabama. Today is day 3 of my vacation and of course i have another drawing for you all

57 Exploring Space

Astronaught drawring today for i am an explorer in this strange land

56 Leaving on a Jet Plane

So I shall be leaving for my vacation today and I will be gone for quite a few days. I will still be drawing everyday but the place I go to leaves me without the internet. The drawings that I do shall all be posted upon my return so there will be lots and lots to look forward to.

55 The Astounding Destructable Man

If I were a superhero then perhaps this would be my power :P

54 Pork and Beans

This is just silly

53 Life, Death & Chickens

This drawing is for fellow artist and musician Mr. Matt Sage. :D

52 Rose Colored Mask

What is beneath your mask?

51 Dance of the Entomopathogenic Fungus

This is a parasitic fungi that attaches itself to the nervous system and drives the infected insane. After the victim dies stems grow from the corpse releasing more spores infecting all nearby. Sounds like a horror movie but it happens millions of times a day.

50 Mr. Darcy

He hides his feelings within but inside he is a true romantic.

49 Eaten Up

Chomp chomp chomp...

mmmm... braaaaaap

48 Nesting Girl

I am planning on creating a painting of some nesting dolls as well as creating actual nesting dolls. This drawing helps me plan my subject matter as well as play around with all of the cool patterns that go into the clothes.

47 Nothing to Draw

Everything that I gave tried out today just doesnt seem to come out right. Ive crumpled many pieces of paper. It is simply just "one of those days" I suppose.

45 Dragooon

For lack of any amazing ideas I resorted to the first thing that popped into my head. This reminds me a lot of my highschool drawing days. Those were some fun art days but they seem like ages ago.

45 Sucking Out the Life

sluuuuuuuurp...

Blind Choice 10"x10" twine and ink on wood panel

The binding of twine represents our casual selective sight. Many believe that seeing is believing and thus willingly choose what to see or not see in order to build that perfect rose colored world in their minds. These sights serve to justify the choices that they make. The raw twine resembles the feeling one gets when one making a bad or immoral decision. The feeling is like the twine for the twine is uncomfortable to hold and tense. The twine is also in a tangled mess with no order which is the thought process in these moments. The drawing is done on wood for the way it reminds the viewer of skin. The wood is made up of grains and cells. It rots and ages like we do. There are many imperfections on the wood like on the surface of our skin which makes both interesting.

44 Biological Machines

I think that we play god by creating machines in our own image. They mirror how we look and more importantly how we think and feel. We are creating a new race of beings. We are their god.

43 M.A.D.

In the end we all fall down...

42 Born from Nature

All of these man made colors simply imitate the natural.

The Screaming Rolfe

24x30 in. Oil Pastel

If a picture is worth a thousand words then a self portrait serves as a journal entry for a present portion in life. This drawing talks about my experiences of working a full time job while going to school full time while running my own studio. The stress is almost excruciating at times and I find myself physically tearing away at my own hair or clothes. The mangled fingers of the portrait pulling away at the face is how I express the tension that I feel within. The intensity of the colors depict the levels of stress that I pass through. It may seem like an exaggeration but i assure you that it is not. There is a very chunky texture in this drawing that really speaks of these rocky times. The chunkiness of the pastel is uncertain and spread out all over my portrait. This mood I express in my portrait intensifies as the end of the year approached and tensions at my job rise. The colors in this painting are like some bomb ready to explode. It is like when metal gets really hot and starts to change color from the heat to red then orange then white right before the explosion.

41 Painting on the Emotion

This is how I feel oh so many times. Mostly while I am at work and the mood just bleeds into other times when I am away from my job. One must pretend to care about things that they have heard, seen or done a hundred times over. People run around prettending what they do is of the highest priority. I swear that my job is rotting my soul. I must fight this evil or at least get as far away as possible.

40 Opressed Dreams

This drawing is an 8.5" by 11.25" drawing and it is drawn more my very talented fellow artist Elena. I cannot wait for the drawing that she is going to trade with me. I can tell you right now that I am down right excited to aquire a piece of her art. I shall be posting the artwork that she trades me so everyone can see how wonderful it is!!!

39 Creeping About

Its the head that creeps about in the dark corners of attic of your imagination. creep creep creep

38 Screaming Steak

It was a very rare steak dinner. I swear that it squirmed as I stuck my fork into it. I believe I heard a little scream when I first pierced the meat

37 Customer #3

Yesterday I was cashiering all day and this guy was my third customer. He definitely did not seem like the type that would shop at the home depot. The drawing on the right was done while I was at the register. It was rather stealthy of me :-)

Fish Monger in Progress

Here is the Fish Monger painting that shall be finished for the next gallery walk :D

The photo above that is a progress drawing of another drawing. It is a face made up

of hundreds of little figures.

36 The Frogman of the Stream

This is the frogman that lives in the stream across the street in the stream in my house in manila. He sits there and gathers flies. Do not believe anything he says for he is a trickster. Yes he is.

35 Sigh Platipi

He is just an exausted little fellow right now. No rest for the wicked looking.

34 Thinking Outside the Box

I have just completed my final drawing. I completely changed my original idea for the color scheme and decided against the black outlines. I think it works much better than my original idea. Perhaps I will go back and outline the figures with another color ink but i am still undecided and i dont think it is necessary. Anyways enjoy this little drawing in celebration of thinking outside the box.

Also i realize that I am being a bit hypocritical by trying to think outside the box while bringing you a drawig that is very much inside the box for me. In fact its at the very core of that box. I assure that I am thinking outside the boxes bounds yesh!!!

33 Sticking to the Ground

I hope that you all enjoy this very early morning post.

I have been up all night in the studio and I will be back

at it as soon as i am off work at 3 till about the same time

tomorrow. The plus side to all this is that you get a Daily

Drawing really early. All this drawing I am doing is all for

a great cause. I am conceiving a new work that I am sure

that you will love thoroughly or at least mildly, but I

guarantee that you will not hate it.

32 Woodles

Woddles is a word that can mean anything.

It can also take a form of a verb or an

adjective under the term woodling.

Proud Warriors

This painting is familiar to all of you who have been visiting my gallery the last couple of first fridays. This painting is the focus of my discussion of the week. This is known as the lobster painting which may not be so ovious when you are viewing it too close. What I wanted to express with this painting is how societies thrive with the conquest of other people. The Lobsters are the proud warriors but yet they are simply on display. It is degrating that they are unable to fight back because simple rubber bands have been put on thier claws. These lobsters are now simply food for our consumption.

31 Fish Stories

I hope that everybody enjoys this

one. It is just a fun take on the

little white lies and fibs that we

all must wear daily.

Its a late one for i have been drawing

in the studio for 7 hours straight. I

am determined to finish my schnazzy

new drawing :D

30 The Great Battle of the Squid and the Whale

These mortal enemies have done battle from

the beginning of time. Both fight relentlessly

untill one is dead. What they both fail to realize

is that they are both stranded on dry land.

One may win the fight but both lose thier lives.

29 Dreaming of Sleep

Sleep is but a mirrage in the distance

to me. It seems that these days sleep

has become more of a luxury than a

neccessity.

Friday Night Recap

So the Gallery walk turned out fantastic last night. It was the most people we have had I think. Things started off slow but once it got going it was intense. My studio way in the back was completely packed full of people. There was lots of support from the community and people really loved the artwork. It was a great night and it was more than I could hope for. Thank you to all the people who made it out that night and thank you for all of the support. I love Fort Collins!!!

28 The Peoples Artist

These guys are out there for you
