I will be back next month

Hi all! I just wanted to let everyone know that I will be returning to the blogs mid May.I wanted to give myself sometime to settle into my new place. I also want to thank you guys for the kind words on my last few posts. I am sorry for neglecting everyone's blog, but I haven't been on the Internet much. I am currently doing a piece for an upcoming show which I will talk about when I return, and the rest of my time has been spent packing:) So, I will see you all next month with new work, updates and inspirations!:)))

Wow, it's been awhile since my last post. My wife and I have been busily searching for our new place. We finally found a house in Stratford CT, and we are really excited to move in. Our scheduled move date is set for May 1st, so it's going to be hectic the next month or so. As for the sketch above, I had this idea of putting two unlikely characters in an illustration...it just turned out to be a dingy pirate and a cute little girl. lol

PeeU!

I am sorry for my long absence. My wife was recently accepted into a medical residency program in a neighboring state, and as a result, we need to move. So the past few weeks I have been busy getting my apartment ready to sell, and we will soon begin looking around CT for a new place. Anyway, things are somewhat back to normal now, and I am trying to get back to my work. thanks for all the kind comments, and I promise that I will post more work soon!:))

I Am Back!

Well, I am finally back from my Greece/ Russia trip. I had an AWESOME time!!! Greece was just plain beautiful, and Russia was exciting as well. I did a lot of sketching as you can imagine, but I also took plenty of time to just relax. This is going to be a really crazy month for me, so I am glad to feel rested and ready to tackle the work ahead. I will be posting more sketches, once I get the opportunity to scan them in....Here are a few that I put together. These were done on the beach.
