Here are a few examples of artwork that I have created over the years...I hope you enjoy them.
Bare in mind the quality is not that of the originals, of course, due to scaling and file size.
GolferGolfer (pencil)...Yes this is an image of a golfer in the finishing position of the swing. Look close and you will see it. This image applies a 2-point perspective (2 vanishing points for the lines in the image). One vanishing point is to the far left and the other to the far right of the image. The image is separated down the center. The shapes you see shaded in were the shadows within the original image. These shadows were then given a 3D effect by drawing the their lines to the 2 different vanishing points. InnerselfInnerself (pencil, charcoal, paint)...This image depicts some aspects of myself. I'll let you view and analyze and come up with your own thoughts on who I am. That's part of what art is all about anyway, everyone's different interpretations.

Indian WomanIndian Woman (pencil)... A life drawing of an elderly indian woman. The photo this was created from was found in an old National Geographic magazine. This is simply a strait forward rendering of the original picture minus the color of course. WatchWatch (pencil)... Exactly that, a watch. I simply saw a nice photo of an expensive watch with all the highlights and variations and decided I would like to draw it. You can fill in the date.

FaceFace (pencil)... This is a life drawing of an individual that looks allot like Napoleon but is not. The original drawing is on a 9" X 14" page. So it is relatively small. Self PortraitSelf Portrait (pencil)... OK, now you have a clue as to what I look like. This was created while looking at myself in the mirror. I found it to be somewhat difficult. Especially in trying to keep the same position, since I had to look in the mirror and then the drawing pad.

CollageCollage (photoshop)... This was an image created from multiple images and layered together. This was a project where I had to depict an emotion. There were 7 layers to this image. Original is 8' X 10'. CollageCollage with a twist (photoshop)... The 3 faces created are from the same black and white photo. This was created by taken one side of the face and mirroring it to the other side. Then doing the same to the opposite side. Then mirroring the entire head shot to create the upside down images. I then applied color to sections of the entire image. Which set is the original headshot?

HandHand (ink)...Yep a hand...abstract of course. The hand is the large white space in the center of the picture. There have been some other elements added and subtracted to the image for abstraction. The shape in the upper right portion is a nostril. Why a nostril you ask? The original image was that of a man resting his chin in the palm of his hand, with his fingers closed. AbstractAbstract (ink)... simply an abstract image using geometric and organic shapes to make up the image. Then applying positive and negative areas to complete the look.

1-point Perspective1-point Perspective (pencil) ... Just what is says, a one-point perspective drawing (1 vanishing point). The vanishing point is centered vertically and just left of center horizontally. 2-point Perspective2-point Perspective (pencil)... The same perspective as used in the Golfer image, but this is applied to a real-life setting...a small kitchen. Where are the vanishing points to this image? If you said to the left and right, off the page... you're correct!
