Gluttony

This past weekend was my grandmother's funeral. Depressing weekend. That side of my family is super Italian. I mean, I have an uncle that grows his own grapes and makes his own wine. So when we get together every meal has to be a feast. I ate so much I think I'll be working it off for the foreseeable future. Anyway, we're coming up on the end of the sketches from past work. This blog is constantly a month or two behind but I've been trying to catch up with my current work by posting more pictures per post. I would estimate that in a couple months I'll be posting current work. Here are my two sketches. I think the first one is from a Magic card and the second I think is from a magazine. Thank you for reading about my brainsplosion.

The Strongest Woman In The World

Grandma, I'll miss you. There's so much I wanted to learn from you still like how to go mushrooming and many of your amazing recipes. Now who's going to have my back when I correct my mother's attempt at italianizing words? You taught me how to be strong against any odds. You fought off two pitbulls! There'll never be another woman as strong as you.

 Here's some sketches. They're both from the 3rd Edition Monster Manual for Dungeons & Dragons. Thank you for reading about my brainsplosion.

Last Three Sketchbooks

The sketches in this post and many to follow are from my latest sketchbooks. They are the last three books that I filled. The first two were my usual Strathmore 400 Series Drawing pads in the 6"x8" size but the last one was 8"x10" which proved to be more fun. I'm currently filling another 8"x10" from the Strathmore's Windpower series as it is greener. Actually, I have a question. Which is greener, the Windpower series or the Strathmore Recycled pads? Anyway, here are the pictures you've all come here to see. These are from the trading card game Magic The Gathering. Besides having awesome artwork, it's a fun game and I highly recommend it.
