Dr. Sketchy's New York! Justine Jolie!

I went to Dr. Sketchy's again, this time in NYC this past Saturday. The amazingly talented and accomplished Molly Crabapple was there. I'm eternally grateful to her for establishing Dr. Sketchy's Anti-Art School.

I'm going to the Dr. Sketchy's Philly this Friday, let me know if you're interested. It's fun, there's cool people and free beer, and it's in an amazing part of the Fleisher Art Memorial that's not always open.

I'm going to post about 20 sketches soon, from Philly and NYC Dr. Sketchy's, but for now, here's one of the beautiful Justine Joli.

Julie. Green

One of the things it's easier to do with oil than the dyes is paint with green.

Here's an image from my second or third shoot ever. I recently got back in touch with this model after a very long time. Thanks, Facebook.

I'm working on more from the shoot. I've tried to paint from these images for years, but because of the lighting, they just didn't work well in watercolors or dyes. Now that I've learned to paint in oils, I can give them another shot.

Recent painting new palette

Been busy. Working on my last run of paintings before my new boy arrives in September and I go on hiatus.
Here's one I painted in the past couple of weeks. It's a new color palette. If you know that I have synesthesia, then it'll make sense when I tell you that I see the colors in this palette when I hear the Ting Tings.
