Quick sketch of RFK, one of my heroes.

Charcoal on Sketchbook

This is an 8×10 watercolour on tile portrait of one of the models from Dr. Sketchy. This was part of the Show at Lockview. Unfortunately this painting disappeared from the show, however the people at Lockview and the curator of the show handled it well and made the situation as right as possible.

So while the original is gone, possibly hanging in someone else’s  house, although who steals a portrait of someone they don’t know, done by an artist who isn’t even that good? Anyway, at least I still have a snap shot of it.

The Akron Dr. Sketchy group will be displaying work at Lockview in downtown Akron from October 29th through some time in December. Next time your feeling like art, good beer and gourmet grilled cheese stop down to check it out. below is one of the pieces I did for the show. And check out some of my previous posts to see the original sketches done at the Dr. Sketchy Events.

And if you are looking to have some fun and draw, check out Dr. Sketchy Events the second Tuesday of every month. Beer, Music, Drawing, Fun.

Sketch of the taps at Retz Laconis II

I got my sketchbook for the Sketchbook Project in the mail the other day. My theme is “Uncharted Waters”. I decided a map of the Mythical land of Lemuria, the supposed lost continent that once connected Madagascar (of Lemur fame) and India, was a perfect cover. I think I may need to add a lemur to it?

Had a good time at Dr. Sketchy’s event last night and thought I would post some of my drawings from it, the I realized I had months worth of sketches to scan in, so thought I would post a big batch of them all at once.

If you don’t know what Dr. Sketchy’s is, it’s like an art school life drawing class, but add music, beer, burlesque models, costumes and lots of fun. Check out their website, or look them up on facebook. It’s an excellent time.

The sketches are most all from those events, or from me just sitting around at drawing people. Most sketches are done between 1 and 15 minutes.
