dive olly dive

claire wendling

she is my favorite artist today and my wife and i were captivated with this piece. everything about it was so pleasing to us. she is such a great artist in every sense and she inspires me more than any other artist. i am so privileged. thanks stuart.

tear myself away...

man, all i draw is robots and when you think about it, in the future, things will be so nano and organically cloned that robot tech will be moot.

sketches from nowhere

when i start sketching, the best ones , i think, are the ones that have no initial direction. i start sketching with a light marker and have no idea what its going to look like. its part luck, emotion, and after you get an idea of what you want... then its a combination of using the reference you've accumulated in your brain of all the coolest things from movies, anime, etc. and adding as much of yourself as possible.

scooter girl

i work in inks a lot and i am not afraid of liquid paper. i use a lot of liquid paper.

boris and natasha

frederico

this is based on a drawing by my good friend david hartman, who is my inspiration when it comes to macabre. i don't know why i named him frederico.

favorite gun of all time is the blade runner gun. someday i want to buy a replica.

whello

my friend, kip, and i play a game where we pick 2 total opposite entities and put them together to form one creature. this is my whale/cello combo. actual sketch is 4 inches long.

ars magica

my friend, eric v., runs a role playing game called "ars magica" and i play a peg legged mage named "sisnernos ibb." the other character roams inside another one of his ars magica campaigns that will soon be published. i will link it when it is

soldier

i scanned this in from a sketch no larger than one cubic inch.
