Spectrum 21 - Norm at a bar

I was pretty excited to get my Spectrum book the other day that contains this digital painting. I am honored to be amongst the fantastic artists. If you get the book you will notice it printed pretty dark but all the same I am pleased to have something in there.

I was not previously aware of the artist Norman Lindsay but I loved his picture when I came across it in this post about him over at the Muddy Colors blog. I was browsing some of my own previous digital paintings and started to notice the missing random caricatures of late. If you follow the link I've followed my reference pretty closely but it was filled with such great shapes.

Masters of Anatomy - Last chance

Update-It's up! The Kickstarter page is live and looks like the books are getting snapped up fast.
There are even more artists then before, up to 100 now. A lot of talent.

I am excited to be contributing to a Kickstarter book called "Masters of Anatomy". It's a great idea that will be collecting anatomical male and female drawings based off of Andrew Loomis' ideal proportions from a bunch of really fantastic professional artists with a wide range of styles. Be sure to take a look at the list of talented they've got lined up Here.

A piece for The Weekly Standard. I had a little more time then the usual one day turn around on this, typically I get one real shot at the drawing but this time it wasn't quite there so I was happy to give it another try which turned out better.
