Still listening...

I've been captivated by the wise old owl as of late.

I'm pretty sure as soon as I am done with commissioned work, that the next painting I will work on will be of an owl.

Thank you to those of you who commented back on the last blog entry. My friend J said she really liked the owl---so I thought I would post the owls that I drew that night and the finished owl that I posted earlier.

I think I am enjoying the owl because I can imagine the conversations my anthropomorphised creatures would have. Take for instance the two pink ones... I call that sketch, "Two Owls Walked Into a Bar"

The one owl would say to the other owl,

"Hey Phil, you look like you you ate something funny"

and then the other owl would say, "Yeah, I had the other half of that mouse you left behind"

Good times... good times.

Anyhow---its not too late to tell me what to draw for a chance to win your suggestion on canvas! Spread the word and tell your friends.

You Told Me What to Draw...

A few weeks ago you told me what to draw...

Eddie told me to draw something dark..."like some homeless guys standing over a garbage can fire" ... well Eddie there you have them.

Someone else asked me to draw my school mascot (off the record)... so here is an owl--- the mascot of Bank Street College.

You told me what to draw and I enjoyed the challenge.

Now it's time to tell me again! I will put all submissions into a drawing and the winner will get a mini-original painting of their request!!

So tell your friends to tell me what to draw and thanks for those of you who did!

Tell Me What to Draw

When I was in college I use to sit on my couch and ask my friends to tell me what to draw. This tradition has stayed with me...and even to this day I will sit on my couch and ask people to tell me what to draw.

This hula-hoopin' tortuga is a product of the game. He's happy enough isn't he?!

So..here we go--- I'm going to do a tell me what to draw shout out...comment back--tell me what to draw--I'll draw it and post it.

...so tell me what to draw :)
