New CD Coming out!

I have been trying to put a CD together for a while now. Finally, I think that I have my Idea: A child's A Capella CD! I love to do multi-tracking with my voice, but I have been so busy and crazy with other things lately. Overdubbing my voice is how i achieve the sound in my recordings. Any way, you can visit my podcast by clicking in the Links maked Podcast to hear the song or just click here for a free download sample of what I do. please enjoy. The CD should be out before this Summer! All that I ask is that you let others now who did the singing.

Skater Boys

While at the Skate Park I was also able to take some shots of the local skaters. Click Here to see a slideshow.

Lance Parbst

I had a great time doing a photo shoot for Lance! It was a perfect day to ride. The following photos were taken with a 7.0 MP Digital camera. I found a way to freeze the motion with camera and got some great effects shots. The photos were taken in Wilson, NC at a nearby skate park. Please enjoy.

1st Warm Day in NC

Well we had a fun day today playing in the sun. I thought that I would take a few shots while we were out. We went to Mc Donalds and played outside. It has been a while since it has been this warm in Wilson, NC.

Most of the time Lincoln ran almost in circles. I was so excited to play outside. In a matter of seconds he had walk completely across the yard!

Here is a Color Pencil drawing that I did while on the couch at the Snows house in Greenville SC. This was my first time really trying them out.

The Adding of Color

If you look closely you will see some color that I have added. After having seen some other colored pencil drawings I am convinced that I need to try some. The Pic was taken with my phone so sorry about the quality. I will get this done tonight!

half way there

This is my current piece....I am about halfway done. This one has been a challenge because of its reflective properties. It is still a suprise who this is for. I hope that they like it!

Art Class!!!!!

Just wanted to let everyone know that in preparation for an art class that I will be teaching and a book that I am writing, I am posting art lessons on my Art Blog. So stop on by! The first lesson is on Perspective.

If anyone has any questions just ask... I took some video of the Drawing of B J Cunningham and I will post it soon. I hope to be done with this drawing with in the next couple of days.

B J Cunningham Personal Portrait

Here it is! Finished and basically done. I took a picture of it with my phone so the quality is so so....but I thought that I would get it up right away. I hope that B J is pleased with it.

When Drawing the jersey....

When drawing the jersey you really have to keep in mind the direction you are shading. It is all about trying to keep the texture of the jersey and still have it look real. This is what I have learned...



This could be you! Visit my website to see details.

Almost Done (Just did the high detail work)

I have been plugging away at this drawing for a couple of days strait and I came to the Mountain...the face! This was difficult as I was forced to draw the face behind pure white bars on the football helmet! I finally got it done! Now, all that I need to do is finish the rest of the helmet and the jersey and I am basically done.

Porsche

It has been good for me to branch out into many different categories from which to draw...I have found that it is key to draw different textures and in different lighting. I decided that I should draw something metallic and smooth seeing as how I have done a lot with animals and fur. So, why not a smooth and beautiful Porsche!

BJ Cunningham

I thought that I would write a little about my current work seeing as it is extremely detailed and i am taking breaks in-between the stages of this piece. Don't get me wrong I do enjoy it; but I have always found it to be a good thing to regain perspective of what I am doing.

I am a MSU Spartan fan! I enjoy watching our rival U of M lose to MSU. I go to do that today in Buffalo Wild Wings. It came down to the last second. And UM is playing much better in basketball.

Well, one of my favorite players on the football team is BJ cunningham. He is a wide receiver, and, I think, an up and coming pro player. I was able to talk to him through facebook and get his permission to do this drawing. I just have BJ's right arm done but I will be finished this week (I hope).

Meeting a great artist

I was able to hang out with Jared Emerson in downtown Greenville. I was able to see him paint an oil portrait of a beautiful young girl for a client of his. I tried to soak up as much as I could. I watched for an hour (I think) and
we went up to "Spill the Beans" where I was going anyway to hang up another original. When we got to the coffee shop there was a police officer questioning the manager(Sarah Curtis) and good friend of mine about a robbery that had just happened. Jared said to me, "Dude, someone just stole your picture!" Hah ha. They had not but it did give me a little scare.

I'm Back

Wow it has been a long time...I thought that i would try to start blogging on a regular basis now. So much has happened it might take me a while to update. I have finished some new drawings. I have been all over the country. My son Linc is growing like crazy.

This is a drawing that I did for my wife's Grandpa. It turned out nice...and I am getting better at defining my detail. I have a strong urge to continue to plow ahead with drawing. I am going to teach some art classes in Greenville SC hopefully.

I was able to go to Mackinaw Island this weekend. I was inspired again to dig deeper into my artist self and to see things through the eyes of art. I was re-vitalized with my Michigan upbringing. I love Michigan,...I always will.

VA BEACH

Today was a blast. After having been to the hospital,it was nice to get away.

Honoring Dr. O

This is my latest drawing of Doctor O. The college that I attended honored Doc. O on founder's day and I had the privilege to do this drawing. My father presented it to him as a surprise and I'm greatly honored to be apart of his special day! Doctor Ollila is an amazing person and has been an awesome Godly example to many generations! I'm glad to have had the opportunity to be under his teaching during my college years! Thanks Dr. O!

Sick

Well I have been sick for quite a while...and i am finally getting back into the drawing. I am just praying that the Lord will give me the strength to keep going. I am trying to be creative and i am continuing to look for leads during this down time. I know that the Lord will provide!

The Boys Pencil Drawing

This drawing was a fun challenge. It really turned out great. I had fun drawing all the details to the cloth behind the boys. I did this drawing on a 11x14. You can see a definite difference in the quality of the drawing than if it were a smaller size.

Horse Pastel/oil

This was a time consuming effort! I tried so hard to capture the essence of this horse. He is just Beautiful. I took some pics of some horses just down the road to get this shot. I am going to have this painting put on canvas.
