Reinvisioning

Hi Folks,

Here is a revision of a previous post I did for an old sketch. On the left is the original and on the right is a newer version of it. I still need to add some highlights and clean it up but all in all my Warrior Angel is done. My vision of this creature was a type of angel we haven't seen yet with animal-like paws or dare to think could exist. I didn't want to give it a demonic feel to it but something more courageous and powerful that adheres to similar themes I've been drawn to (no pun intended). The fact of the matter is would you what kind of angel would you want guarding your family....the one in the middle or the one on the far right?

Graduate School

I just got accepted to Graduate School today at Academy of Art University, San Francisco, CA. Its part of their online program which I'm not very fond of....online that is but as an educator there aren't many options for us. Only a few of us can do on-ground classes but it puts a strain on your entire life. Anyway, I'm extremely happy, elated and blessed to begin this new adventure. Thanks to the Lord that I'm finally on my way again to fulfill another dream! First my wife, daughter, our new home and now this! The Lord is Good is all I can really say right now!

I will continue to post here as much as possible especially when classes begin.

Here are some stuff I don't believe anyone has seen before....or at least has seen to the extent that they are now. Enjoy....

New and Old Sketches

Here is a collection of sketches I put together for my graduate school submission portfolio. I forgot I had these in my stuff after we moved. The one on the left was a preliminary sketch for a larger charcoal drawing of a homeless man called "Creation Care" and the other two were 10 minute warm-up drawings for a performance art piece I did.
