This is Lonesome George. He is the most recent animal to become extinct. It happened in 2010. He is the center piece for a t-shirt design that I wish to produce. It will be based around endangered species simply to make people think about them. Enjoy! Lonesome George - pencil - 2013  

Sea Turtle This is the newest subject for in-school group drawing. A little inspired by Lonesome George. 

For the Birds... I chose to finish the jackdaw drawing over the summer. I`ve been sharing the results with the children at the school and  they have loved it.

A great set with the models looking like they could be part of the Broadway production. Enjoy the sketches!   Chicago - 1 min Chicago - 1 min Chicago - 1 min Chicago - 1 min Chicago - 2 min Chicago - 5 min Chicago - 5 min Chicago - 5 min Chicago - 10 min Chicago - 10 min  

This was a surprise gift for a co-worker who loves her dog like he was her son. I love having a portrait of my children and so I thought she would like to have one of hers.  Here's the result. Romeo - pencil and white chalk - 2013  

Being marooned on an island in the 50's with both models playing Mary Ann and Ginger made for an amazing set at Dr. Sketchy's in Ottawa.  There is an unusual drawing here that refers to the 2nd contest of the night. Challenge: Illustrate how Gilligan would combine Mary Ann and Ginger to make the perfect girl in his dreams. In my drawing it's more nightmare than dream but it put a smile on the models' faces. Enjoy!  Gilligan's Island - 1 min Gilligan's Island - 1 min Gilligan's Island - 2 min Gilligan's Island - 2 min Gilligan's Island - 2 min Gilligan's Island - 5 min Gilligan's Island - 5 min Gilligan's Island - 5 min Gilligan's Island - 10 min Gilligan's Island - 10 min Gilligan's Island - 20 min

For the Birds... The school year is coming to an end. That means I'll have to finish this piece without the children watching. I was almost finished and I hope I inspired many little hearts with these birds. Jackdaw - pencil - 2013
