Seated Female Nude study

New life drawing from last night:



Graphite on paper, 2007, 24" x 19". Came out quite nicely, I think. I like the unfinished versus finished nature of various parts of the drawing.

Tree Of Lost Souls

Another drawing from the Hell sketchbook:



Brush & ink on recycled paper, 2007, 11" x 8" approx. The Hell sketchbook now has around 60 images -- going on for half-full. One idea would be to select & publish 100 of the best images as "100 Views of Hell". I'm not sure how this is going to turn out.

Men O' War (painted)

This is the painted version of the sketch in the post below:



Acrylic on plywood, 2007, 18" x 30". This painting went through many iterations, but it's finished now. I think.

Men O' War (ink sketch)

A sketch for a new version of the image "Man O' War", from the anti-war series of the same time period as The War Room:



This is the working sketch: pen & ink on paper, 2007, 6" x 10".

Stumbling Colossus

Here's a smallish painting I did a few months ago. I just photographed it today for the first time.



It's acrylic on board, 2007, 16" x 12". It's another mythological piece, I guess, though more loosely painted, almost abstractly so. I thought it was worth uploading.

Tree Of Souls

Another drawing in the Hell sketchbook:



Brush & ink on paper, 2007, 11" x 8". This one also has shades of the War Room images, the cluster of heads theme...

Soul In Stone

Another new drawing from the Hell sketchbook:



Brush & ink on paper, 2007, 11" x 8" approx. The series in the sketchbook is in part becoming a prism through which I can project familiar themes & ideas, as well as expanding & exploring new ones. Which sounds about right.

The Gift

Here's another one from the Hell Sketchbook:



Brush & ink on paper, 2007, 11" x 8" approx. Just another everyday scene from Hell.
