In which I draw myself every day and post it to this blog, along with selections from 30+ years of self-portraits. It's alot to look at, here are my favorites.
Usually when I use pen and watercolor, I draw with the pen first; in this case the pen has come after. I've been trying to allow things to be more amorphous, but it's a challenge for me - I'm strongly inclined to define the edges of things.Labels: 2008, Media: Pen, Media: Watercolor, Process: From Photo(s), Skin Tones: Fleshy (Cauc.), Subject: Narrative, Where: San Francisco (Florida St.)

Artist, Analyst, Aikidoist, Alexander Technique Teacher-Trainee. Artist: I've been living, working and exhibiting in the San Francisco Bay Area for almost 20 years. My subject matter ranges from portraits of people and animals to almost abstract paintings of plant forms and light. I paint in oil, acrylics, & watercolors, with oil paintsticks and watercolor markers, and with digital media such as pressure-sensitive tablet and Studio Artist software. I draw with anything I can get my hands on - sticks on wet sand and fingers on frosted windows, chunks of wood freshly burnt into charcoal and children's toys such as etch-a-sketch and magna-doodle. I also take landscape, figure, animal and street photographs, have played with printmaking (mostly monoprints) and have dabbled with sculpture in steel, wood, clay and neon.
