Go Figure! Sketch Night at Rainy Day

 

This past Saturday was the return to live model figure drawing (perhaps this month should have been undead figure drawing) at Rainy Day Art & Framing. It's been a long, yet quick two and a half years since doing so and it was good to get back to it! Our model Gabi, was dressed as Zelda from the video game.

Go Figure! Sketch Night At Rainy Day

Here are some sketches that I did for the December meet-up of the Go Figure! sketch night at Rainy Day Art Supply. This time, our model was Mary Perrin who returned dressed as Krampus. And a fine get up, it was. Hooved, horned and festive.

Our host Kelly being dragged away for unspeakable acts, I'm assuming.

It's a fun time at these get-togethers and among some of the local artists that attended were Kelly O'Hara, Darin Palmer, Jay Fosgitt, Dug Rusin, Dave Linabury, Jaime Crystal Taperek and Erin Leggett, Anne Garavaglia and Jason Westlake. Check out their work!

Go Figure! Sketch Night At Rainy Day

This past Saturday night was the monthly Go Figure! sketch night at Rainy Day Art Supply. This month, our model was Mary Perrin dressed as Edward Scissorhands. And a fine Scissorhands she was, with the mannerisms and all.

Besides our host, Kelly O'Hara, some Detroit notables were on hand. Jay Fosgitt, Darian Wolfe, Jason Westlake and Dave Linabury. Check out their artwork!

Fantasticon Port Huron

For my first convention of the year, I'll be at the Fantasticon Blue Water International Comic Con in Port Huron, right in the shadows of the Blue Water Bridge. This is a one day event that starts at 10am and goes until 6pm, so drop on by to see some good local creators, such as Jason Westlake, Jesse Rubenfeld and the guys and gals of Source Point Press, among others.

You can get all the details here. 

Michigan Comic Book Expo 2017

This Saturday I will be in the fine city of Wyandotte, MI for the Michigan Comic Book Expo. The event will be held at Yack Arena just off Eureka, near Biddle Ave. 

This will be an all day event and I will be there smiling despite the wrestling stuff going on. So, if you like pop culture, comics, cartoons, illustration and yes, wrestling, then stop on by. It will be a fun time!

Fantasticon Toledo 2015

 It's a small image, but you get the drift... This weekend I will be in Toledo, Ohio for their first ever Fantasticon event. I will be there alongside Jay Fosgitt, Jeff Sornig, Bill Pulkovski, Tony Miello, Dirk Manning, Jason Westlake, Kasey Pierce and many more Michigan based talent. Stop by, say hello, pick up a book, print, sketch card, etc. I'll be there both days.

Villagefest 2014

Another Grosse Pointe Villagefest is upon us and I will be set up there with fellow artists Jason Westlake, Jeff Sornig and Anne Garavaglia. We will be selling prints, books, etc. and doing sketches.  Drop on by, it's usually a good time.

It's right on Kercheval just north of Cadieux in Grosse Pointe. Tomorrow it runs from 11am to dusk and on Sunday it will run from noon until 5. There will be plenty of artists and craftspeople and food and music!

Friday Ink: The Imp

I had been resisting watching the series Game Of Thrones, just because it was yet another something to watch, but at the insisting of some friends I gave it a shot. I'm almost through season one and I'm hooked. Dammit.

So, for today's Friday Ink, I give you Tiny Lannister, Timmy Lannister, Turrell Lann... The Imp, for the Realm's sake, The Imp.

And this weekend I will be at the Motor City Sketch booth at the VillageFest in Grosse Pointe, MI. I will be selling original artwork, prints, books and will be doing sketches with the likes of Jason Westlake and Ted Woods, among others. So, come on down and see some illustrators among the fine arty people.
