GIRL WITH LION AND CIRCLE

Realizing it had been a long LONG time since I had sat down and done an ink, I doodled out this image in my sketchbook, and said to myself......" ya know, that would be a nice ink" so I continued sitting down and penciled this in and proceeded to get my ink on and here we have it.

Once it was done, I sort of realized it was similar to my favourite Frazetta ink, the one on the cover to Living Legend......which really doesn't bother me especially since I had been working on a few things for the Tribute Show. Who knows I might just submit this one as well.

Finished Fritz Tribute Paintings

Well folks I have finally gotten photos of the two finished paintings for the Frazetta Tribute Show that is being held by The Gallery Provocateur in Chicago. This is a juried show and no guarantee that I will even make it, but it is worth a shot and for a good cause. If nothing else I got two pretty good paintings out of the venture and that is never a bad thing!

ON THE BLACK RIVER

This is a Conan piece loosely based on the story Beyond the Black River.

THE DEATH DEALER

No real need to explain who this is, but I will note that although this is an original image done by me, the Death Dealer is a creation of Frank Frazetta and  belongs to him, it is his creation, and this is just my interpretation of it.



A FEW ROUGHS FOR THE FUN OF IT

After making yesterdays post on the FRAZETTA TRIBUTE SHOW I thought I would post a few roughs for the pieces I am doing as my entries.


This is the original concept for the Conan piece, the sketch in the upper left is the beginning, then I started playing with the fellow impaled on the tree, and fleshing himout.....sort of became fun so he is a lot more detailed in this than just a normal doodle

Now we have a rougher but more fully lain out rough of the painting with a few production notes of what I want going on in the piece, complete with coffee stains, (I think Frank was around while I was doing this and bumped my hand............I was pleased, sort of made it seem more of a tribute)





............just sort of a colour schemey thing ..........

.......here we have a bit of progress on the actual painting..........

This little yellow doodle came out of nowhere one night. My wife and I were at the local community theater's ( the Rush County Players.....aka RCP) awards program.......The Hammies, and while I was talking with a friend of ours, I sort of rudely began doodling while listening to her, and this ol' boy popped out..............he is drawn on a folded up paper place mat .......

......so in the morning when I got up and looked at the doodle again, I thought to myself....."I really should do this one" so I re-sketched it and did this little colour rough.

..........and here we have him in progress....................

 Originally the emblem on the shield was the bird from the first Death Dealer, but as I was painting on it I thought that the Frazetta "F" would be more than appropriate. I hope the family will understand and not be offended.

BIG BONE

Here is a little pencil thing I did a month or so ago, it is I think 14 X 17. Still in need of a scanner so unfortunately the photo is really all I have right now...........

Tarzan Yell's

A while back I made a post about Life is a Taboret, and had a movie quote in the post and turned it into a giveaway. Guess the movie the line is from win a drawing, a drawing drawing.

The winner of the drawing was Carlos Pereira Da Silva, and I must appologize to Carlos for the delay in getting to this, but life has a way of doing this, so Carlos I am sorry for not getting the image to you sooner, please forgive me for this.

Part of the life getting in the way is also a scanner that has decided to die on me and leave me without means of getting good digital images of some of my images. So here is a rather bad photo of Carlos' drawing.

With the advent of me being scannerless, I will be posting some drawings and paintings to help offset the expense of getting a new scanner, ( I am looking at a bigger one )or if you would like, I am always open and willing to do a commission of two or three as they come along.
