"Away From Me" Postcards:

I recently ordered a set of "Away From Me" Postcards from my store, primarily to check the quality of the print. They just arrived today, and I'm very pleased. The cards are a nice weight and the image is crisp, which is exactly what I hoped for.

More items soon to come, including full size prints. Be sure to check out the store for more. Right now there are postcards, magnets, greeting cards, and even a mousepad featuring Darwin the Robot.

Thanks for all your support!

All about Ron Mueck:

Ron Mueck is an Australian hyperrealist sculptor. More from Animation Nation:

"His parents were toy makers. He worked on children's television shows for 15 years before creating special effects for the 1986 film Labyrinth.

He then started his own company in London, making models to be photographed for advertisements. Now he's creating on his own and showcasing his work in places such as the Royal Academy, the Millennium Dome in London and the Venice Biennale."

Line drawings, from life:

Each took between 5-20 minutes. I'm toying with the idea of turning one or two of them into digital paintings.

More on Andy Goldsworthy.

I first mentioned Andy Goldsworthy here. This is a clip from the documentary about him, called Rivers and Tides.

Sketching: Seated nude.

Graphite


I hadn't realized just how long it's been since I last worked with graphite. It's funny, since pencil was once what I used most--but drawing this showed me how rusty I am. I think the finished sketch is a bit stiff, but good practice. I may do this week's IF in graphite, too.

Awesome: Pose Generator.

Just stumbled across this site. It's fairly self-explanatory. My two favorite features are the "30-Second Pose Generator" (great practice for speedy life drawing) and the "Random Pose Generator".

Recently finished: 'Origin Unknown'.

This is the 'not quite finished' piece I mentioned in this post. It's been several months since I last worked on him. I still have a few touch-ups to do on the wall, and the final glaze, but I figure he's close enough to post on here.

"Origin Unknown"
Oil, 12x16

This was actually my first oil painting. Prior to this piece, I'd done guache, watercolor, acrylic, etc, but not oil. And now I'm completely, utterly, 100% hooked.

This piece was inspired by the beautiful photography of Bruce Crane.

Recently finished: 'Away From Me'.
