keeping on keeping on

ill stop at 50
i want to make t-shirts

these were all done when i was in the Guadalupe Mountains in far west texas for three weeks pulling wooly mullein. they don't reflect the actual landscape at all except the second from the top does a little. i wonder if my mountains are becoming too naturalistic? are they better when they're more fantastical? i dunno.

it is endess

the last one would be cooler if i hadnt insisted on making the bear work. oh well. also, the top one is the first acrylic painting i've done in over five years! madness!

more of this shit

i actually made a BIG mountain drawing (20"x 30") but do to absent mindedness it was lost in NY either in the trash, in lost 'n found at the airport, or in the hands of some wonderful person. (i hope it is the last one.) it was undocumented and unsigned. oh well.

left handed gun

i recently injured my right hand and wrist so in an effort to let it heal, i've been trying to practice drawing with my left hand. these are what i managed to pull out the other day...looks like i might still be able to keep a job if my right hand gets cut off.

each of these took little over an hour and were done really slowly. i guess i got comfortable with it pretty quickly because the last one is actually pretty complex. it was inspired by a dead coyote one of my co-workers found when we were out in oklahoma.

i've also been watching a lot of twin peaks lately...expect more mountains and maybe forests? caves? i dunno!

more mnts

this is more of the direction i think i want to head in with the large mountain drawings. a mixture of these two ways of drawing

MOUNTANOUS MOUNTAINNNING

ever since i read the PLAGUE DOGS by richard adams i've been kind of obsessed with drawing these mountains. they're relatively small, but i think i'm going to start working on some larger ones soon. i'm still not very good with color, but i guess theyre good exercises
