"Fur in a Bar," 24" x 30" Acrylic on Masonite. Yes this is a painting. My Ode to Andy Worhal. Even though I really don't like most of Worhal's work. This was inspired by cutting thumbnails for my web site ( http://www.themarchhare.org ). I just like a thumb nail so much I painted large, and added a touch of color. This wasn't as easy to paint as one might think.

"Give Blood," 8.5" x 11" Digital. Today (Sept. 11th 2001), as you all know, the world trade towers, and the pentagon, were attacked. I say to you all, if you want to help, or do something about it. Give blood. I'm serious, blood reserves have been low for years, all medical units NEED BLOOD! And they need it now more then ever, there are possible thousands of injured some very badly. A little of your time, and blood could mean the difference between life or death. Give blood, please. This is my response to the effort. (Reupload, Sorry)

"Merchant Captain," 8.5" x 11" pen & ink. A Merchant Captain, poses noblily after counting his profit. I'm not to fond of boars, but after drawing this one, I found some kind of appeal. Plus, there are not enough boars drawn, in fact there are a whole slew of creatures that are ignored by the fandom.

"Catnap," pencil on paper. This is a live sketch, I did this while at "Wesa-a-geh-ya," animal sanctuary. Its a lion, I got him while sleeping on his paw. He was a beautiful creature. I wish I could have gotten more sketches of all the animals (in spite of my sunburnt fore head). They are a non-profit, and are hurting for help, they are really nice poeple http://www.wesa-a-geh-ya.org if your interested.

"Delphinios," 3" x 4" Pen & ink, Pencil, and Marker on Bristol. Another Con-Badge, Delphinios is a Dusky Dolphin, that why he has that strange color pattern, before this image I did not realize how many types of dolphin there were. Striped, Spotted, Bottle Nosed, and at least a dozen more. It is always good to research your subject before you draw it. It will save you time and embarrassment. "Not all dolphins are Bottle Noses." This was a very educational project, those are the ones I like the best.

"Drunken Sailor," 8.5" x 11" Pencil. This is how I do pen & inks: I start with a thumbnail sketch, then I go about drawing what I want in pencil, once that is done I slap it onto a light box, and draw it off in pen (This leaves the paper clean, & fresh). I only draw the out lines, then go back over it with the shade lines. To finish I take a thick liner (05), & outline the subjects, & part in the foreground, this gives the illusion of depth. See "drksalr.jpg" for finish. *Grin*

"What do you do with a Drunken Sailor," 8.5" x 11" pen & ink. This is the finished product, if you have to do any detail work in white on large black areas, I suggest coloring in black, and drawing the white in with a white gel pen, or white acrylic paint and a 10/0 brush. You can also make corrections this way to. Now for the summery: Two raccoon sailors sing a drunken Irish sailor song. This one inspired by a pic that a friend of mine drew, that makes me to happy.This image has been picked up by, and is © Sanguine Productions Ltd. http://www.sanguineproductions.com
