I have to say that I love Graphite. I like just about every medium out there, the richness of oils, the delicate look of a pastel, and the clarity of a well done water color. People are always asking if I paint in oil. I have and I will again but the starkness and simple lines that graphite gives just pulls me in. Like a black and white photograph when all the color is removed you get something extra and that extra is what I am trying to capture. I am trying a little more color with color pencils I am not sure if I am happy with them yet.

A good Belgian beer shared with friends. A hug from my children. Fishing on a cool day with my family.

New Jersey drivers. Rude people. People that tease me about my spelling. Bad coffee!

Sorry about missing NC.  I love your work and I know what you mean about the pull of those lines in drawing.

Hi SM!

Check out the conversation that I had with "Abiquii" along with some of his stuff and mine.  It's great to see another fan of the halftone.  I set up my drawings as lithographs mainly so that if I spend 100 hours on a drawing, I can reproduce it enough to make some money on it. (I also love the process of printmaking which uniquely combines artistic creativity with utilitarian craftsmanship.) For some reason, people who pay hundreds and even thousands on an oil might shell out $50 for a drawing.  Pretty frustrating for those of us who like to eat 3x a day. 

You really have a way with portraiture. Really nice stuff!
