Seamus O'Malley

Inspired by this awesome blog: Mustaches of the Nineteenth Century

Princess coloring book

This one started out as a random google image search for coloring book pages. I'm not quite sure which artist to credit for the original drawing. Go here for the link to the image.


I was actually studying this classic Ingres painting as inspiration for the color palette. And yes, I do realize how offensive this combination must be to all the art purists out there. Ah well.

Sketch Infectus

It's been a while, I've been working lately on some stuff I can't post quite yet. In the meantime I would admonish you to check out the incredibly talented Joe Bluhm's new sketchbook. It's chock full of some great drawings and quotes from a number of artists on the benefits of keeping a sketchbook.

Also on the inspirational quote front, I really like some of the quotes Stephen Silver has put up in this Facebook group. Always a good read.

Lucky the Leprechaun

Here's to a Magically Delicious™ St. Patty's Day.

Junius Brutus Booth

Quick head study of Junius Brutus Booth, he was John Wilkes Booths' pappy. Apparently he wasn't a big fan of the guv'mint either and sent a threatening letter to then President Andrew Jackson back in the day.
Favorite line from the Wiki page:
"It was often difficult for his friends to tell whether he was drunk or crazy."

Santa "Big Red" Claus

The McMurtry Sisters

Mabel & Madge.

Frank N. Stein

Skeletor Pondering

I guess this could be considered fan-art if I was a fan of Masters of the Universe. But I'm not. I am a fan of skulls, however. Be sure to check out Adam's and Sam's for some good stuff.
