Danny + Dubby
Uncle Danny + Grampa “Dubby”, Graphite on Paper “When it all goes quiet behind my eyes, I see everything that made me lying around in invisible pieces. When I look too hard, it goes away. And when it all goes quiet, I see they are right here. I see that I’m a little piece in a big, big universe. And that makes things right.” {Beasts of the Southern Wild}

Portraits.
Now that I’m settled back in from California, I’m breaking out the charcoal and getting back into drawing portraits.  I’m finding myself drawn to using older people that have a sense of youth to them as subjects.   Here is one of my most favorite quotes about art and seeing people: “Anybody can look at a pretty girl and see a pretty girl.

Let's Talk About Socks, Baby.
Listen up dandies and non-dandies alike.  There is no safer way to dip one’s proverbial toes into the world of style than by wearing a pair of patterned socks.  So plain socks be damned! Go forth and grab a pair.   I really like these ones at Jack Spade and Paul Smith via Nordstroms.

Sunny + Joe
Sunny + Joe, Graphite on Paper I’ve been finding lots of great inspiration from old photographs. Ones that I find online, or in books or antique shops.  Mysterious strangers in black and white.  But when I sat down tonight I wanted to draw something closer to the heart.  And for me, this finished sketch is just that.   Its based on a photograph that I’ve been looking at since I was...

Tiny frames in a tiny frame. All that’s missing is the tiny hipster.

La Parfum
                                                  Perfume is in my opinion, the ultimate transformer.  I’m always on the hunt for a great scent to add to my collection, and am not too proud to ask a perfect stranger if I can smell their wrist if I like what they’re working with.  One of my absolute favorite lines on the market is Jo Malone.  This line is made up of a range of high...

Really Great Things.
I’m a huge product junkie, and I look at art supplies no differently than I do trying and buying makeup, bath products and perfume. Needless my wallet shudders a bit when I go into places like Sephora or BlickArt. Here are some staple supplies that I can’t live without. Kneaded eraser, great for dabbing up a little color or erasing everything. Fun to play with too. ...
