Something Different

Recently I've been getting some commissions that are kinda unusual for me. I just finished painting a sign for Elmhurst Learning Center. I really haven't done a lot of signs or large scale paintings like this. It has really taught me a lot during this process.

Maybe in the future I'll be doing more kinds of painting like this...

Crayola Fun

Get a pen, a pad of paper, and some Crayola markers! For instant fun, just add WATER!
Here are some sketches I've been doing to experiment with elementary school supplies. It is quite wonderful to discover that you can make cool art with cheapo supplies. I just used a ball point pen and Crayola washable makers. No Faber-Castell or Prismacolor here.







The markers work kind of like watercolors, only they are slightly more permanent. They are not as workable, but it's better than watercolor pencils in my opinion. It's also super simple if you want to do any sketching on location.
