Good Old England

Ink on paper. 8x10.

This picture was drawn several years ago, but I was thinking about england this week and I want to try doing a picture like this again. If people don't think they can draw this is a really fun project, just draw an outline, and then fill it with really small words :)

Week 14: Newborn.

Pencil on paper. 8x10 in.

This is a sad story, this is a picture of a sweet child that passed away shortly after birth. A lady contacted me and wanted this picture drawn for her friend, the child's mother. The baby was expected to be healthy so the death was so unexpected. The only picture they have of him was taken with a cell phone, and the friend had to photoshop the breathing tube out of the picture. I've never done a picture like this, I can't imagine how hard that kind of loss would be.

Week 13: Military retirement



Pencil on paper. 8 x 10.

Summers usually mean moves, and eventually retirement for military families. Several are retiring and moving from my Dad's group, and the hospital picture and portraits are the going away gifts. It is impressive to see how many sacrifice for this country. God bless the U.S.A.

Tori. (old photos).


Photography.

My dad got me an old 35mm film camera off of e-bay a few years ago, and I came across these pictures recently. I love black and white film, and 35mm cameras. So much.

Week 13: David Grant Medical Center

pencil on paper, 8 x 10 in.

My dad needed this drawing done for work, he works at this hospital and we live by it. I hear that it is the second biggest hospital in the Air Force, and thus is doesn't fit very well on a page in portrait orientation ;) But the clouds were fun too.
