These are both ball-point pen on hand-made Tibetan paper. It's all out of my head except for the old man reading- he was on the L train.

a few recent ones

Girl in Starbucks

This was mostly done from memory, since her boyfriend was right there, and I didn't want to stare.

Nicoletta

Here's a quick caricature I did of my new friend in Romania, Nicoletta. She wrote me an e-mail and we traded caricatures of each other.

Biden/ Palin

Here's a few sketches I did while watching the VP debate last night.

The Teacher

Here's a sketch I did of my brother while he was correcting his student's papers when I was over their house last month. He's an English teacher in a High School.

Park Dog

This was a sketch I did in the Park while waiting for customers. The dog was only in this pose for a few seconds, so I had to do most of it from memory. At least the background stayed still for me afterwards.

Submission for "Eye Candy"

This is one I did for my friend, Alberto's book- "Eye Candy from Strangers". It's just my first submission, so we'll see if it gets in or not. I want to do a couple more.

Gung Fu

This is a sketch I did in a previous sketchbook; I'm posting it now, cause I'm giving it to Justin for the most comments on my "Everybody's Gotta Be In a Gang" blog. It's ball point pen and photoshop in the background.

The Power of Three

Here's a sketch I'm still working out...until then- here it is.

Stickies

Here are some quick sketches done on stickies while I was working for the GAP. I had very little spare time, so I only did these while waiting for the scanner to warm up or waiting for a large file to load, etc. I wasn't crazy about the backgound color of the stickies, so I altered them slightly in photoshop, but left the original color in the faces.

Subway memory

Originally I saw an older man on the subway with an interesting make up of facial features. I didn't have time to draw him, but did this one out of my head with him in mind.

Scott the Jazz Guitarist

This is a quick sketch I did of my friend, Scott from last night's performance at Supreme Trading. It was a little hard to see with one back-lit red light, but I think it looks like him and he liked it. He was bending some crazy notes and the band sounded great.

Another

Some Guy

This is another made up face- nobody in particular- with a couple of colors from Photoshop.

Frog Boy

Bowie

Here's a David Bowie sketch I did years ago for a commission I did of Bowie and Mick Jagger together. My client ended up picking another sketch, but I still like the way this one came out. It's important for me to try to get the psychology of the subject into the caricatured portrait, and when they are a celebrity, to also show a glimpse of their persona or how they are perceived to the general public.

Christopher Walken Sketch

This was the original sketch for my second Christopher Walken painting- I just found it today while looking for some other sketches I had to e-mail out.
