It's no surprise that I love Sharpie Markers. I'm always interested in what they've come out with recently to make my life as an artist easier and more fun. I was searching their website for new products and I came across their sketchpad. It's generally just like the one that I have on this site but the markers have a transparency to them which is awesome. It's just like drawing with the real thing…..I drew a quick image to show you what it does….

This first image was drawn from Theda-b and is still in progress. It will generally be more of a painting when I'm done. I'll post it when it's finished….
Here's a quick fashionable study of her as well. I was thinking and trying to utilize the vast world of Greek Vase design to help influence how I approached drawing Theda..

Here's some Detail shots
Here's a couple of drawings of Theda-b done in a fashionable sort of style. Sometimes long features deserve long drawings. I find it interesting to take certain characteristics that stand out to me about a model and accentuate them, almost like a caricature. I guess you could call it Theatrics and that usually works in a drawing especially when it's something that excites you as the artist. Those things come through in the finished drawing and lend it a life inspired by inspiration….

This was my Father's old guitar. It's a Hohner from the 70's. This was the first guitar that I did a test on to see whether Sharpie markers could work on top of the clear coat. They definitely work well but you have to use the Industrial strength Sharpie markers. The orange is a regular sharpie and is subject to coming off a little when polishing but the black is on there solid. The only thing that can remove the black at this point is paint thinner or Turpenoid natural. Turpenoid natural is a safer choice but it takes a little extra elbow grease to get it off….

I created this custom painted guitar for my friend Jenna using Sharpie markers. You might or might not be surprised how well Sharpies adhere to the body of a guitar. I drew right on top of the clear coat without making any modifications to the surface of the guitar. No sanding was needed here but the trick was to use the Industrial strength Sharpie. It's almost like using paint or stain…..The guitar is an Ibanez….

Here are a few shots from the first wedding that my Gallery (THECEEFLAT) had the honor of hosting. Kevin Corcoran and I opened THECEEFLAT as a Studio/Gallery in Dec08. Within the fist 30 days of our opening we began to get calls from people that wanted to rent out our space for a wide variety of events. We coined the gallery "A working Gallery" because we new that we wanted it to go way above and beyond the normal white walls institution of the traditional gallery and the space is certainly living up to those words. So far we've booked birthday gatherings, weddings, art events, comedy shows and even burlesque performances. I wonder what the second six months will bring? The fact of the matter is that the first event, Brandy and Greg's wedding was huge success. For more images of the wedding you can check out their Flickr page.

This image was drawn from a model named Kayla. I loved the shape that her body encompassed when she took this pose and decided to draw her from an overhead perspective. I enjoy the subtle colors in the skin. This image is not yet finished but shall be soon…..
