Looking to do some work on my house and had to head down to the planning and zoning department.
Always a good time (ø_ø) plus I was able to get some sketching while I waited and waited and  . . .

I have a great book of Fantastic and Mythological Creatures. These are just some of my interpretations.

Stepped out for lunch yesterday at my favorite Thai place and did a sketch while waiting. It isn't much too look at from the outside but sooooo tasty.

A sketch based on drawings done at the Natural History Museum in London.
I might have romanticized it a bit -- but not much -- such a cool building!

I can never spend too much time drawing hands and feet -- or children.

Travel Sketch: London

While I definitely liked the V&A museum, what I REALLY liked was the Natural History Museum right next door. Call it the 8-year-old in me, but big skeletons of dead animals are just cool to look at.

Travel Sketch: London

Did this one evening while wandering through Kensington Gardens / Hyde Park.
For anyone who hasn't yet read the first incarnation of Peter Pan, I definitely recommend "Peter Pan in Kensington Gardens" (and not just 'cause it's illustrated by the amazing Arthur Rackham)

Travel Sketch: London

Spent an afternoon (okay, a couple afternoons) in the Victoria and Albert museum.
Loooooved it!! While I drew both these sculptures the same size in my sketchbook, the "fleshy" figure was lifesized while the skeleton "Death" was only 8" tall and an amazingly delicate woodcarving.

Back in the Kensington district. Had some particularly good "Bangers and Mash" here one evening.

Recent Sketch: Einstein

Beginning of a new term at AiPD and as usual I give my students a 20 min. do-whatever-you-want portrait of Einstein to start the class. I often get some pretty cool interpretations. Here's mine for this term.

Thought it was time to take a break from the travel sketches, and mention that I really like the pens that have water soluble ink. This was done with a Pilot G-Tec-C4 (and some gaouche). Pretty fun.

Travel Sketches: Scotland

Did this sketch while touring Edinburg Castle in Scotland.Had a great time in Edinburg. That city just suits me somehow.

Travel Sketches: England

Stopped here for lunch one day. It was an elevated park with absolutely no grass. Just a lot of marble and granite. Very pretty and -- since it was sunny that day -- very squinty.
