Lefty's art show portfolio.

Art show in July inspired by Hellboy.

Hi all. So I'm super excited about the next few months. Not just b-cuz it's beach season, cuz Lord knows I'm a frikin beach bum. Woo, boogie boardin'!!! I quit surfing, I'm too out of shape. :( lol Anyway, I am excited about the project I'm working on with some friends, and especially about the next art show I'm participating in. The show is called, "Let them eat Pancakes! The Hellboy Art Show!" This event will feature original Mignola art from the Hellboy comics, props and limited edition items from the Hellboy movies and, of course, original works from dozens of our favorite artists in the world of comics and design.

IF BABY

Yesterday's lunchtime sketchyness.

Sunday drawing goodness.

I was a bit distraught this weekend, although I do entertainment caricatures on saturdays, and that is a drawing, I sometimes feel sad when i don't draw in my sketchbook enough. I hang out at my parents house on the weekends. And I just sit around in the evening with them, and watch movies. As we do so, I sketch in my book, or paint stuff in photoshop on my laptop. This weekend I worked at a prom. and as always I arrive at the event about an hour or two early, so i can set up my easel with calm, and maybe sketch some stuff until the contracted time starts. well, I didn't get to do that on saturday. Drawing Caricatures for entertainment at events is fun, but like i said, my life feels whole when i draw in my sketchbook. Sunday, I went to my big brotha's company picnic, and I didn't get to sketch there either, i was really zoned out. Dammit.
Sunday evening, i got to go pick up my paintings from alphacult.com the art gallery where my last art show was. When I got home, my parents were just popping in "Cloverfield" man, that got some juices flowing. So i sketched this out. Wish i coulda done more though. Let's see how productive this week goes.

Some more stuff from our piece for this week.

IF- the result of "WRINKLES" in the space time continueum.

Work in progress. I'll post the finished piece as soon as i finish.

Lunchtime WIP finished.

Drawing during church.

I grew up, drawing in church. My parents knew I was paying attention. They quizzed me after the service. So, they let me draw while everything was going on. And that habit has not left me. I drew this during yesterdays service.

OK, so please go check out the show on April 12th, at alphacult gallery in Long beach.

Go to the website http://alphacult.com/alphacult/HomePage.html and get the details from there, or you all can contact me, and i'll further inform you.

Sneaking some peaks at the "Fixed 100 show" on April 12th, 2008

In the works.

As done as it'll get.

Almost Done.

This is #1 of my sequential art project, "This sort of thing doesn't happen in nature."

It isn't finished yet, but I'm working on it.

Animals!!!

I've always loved to draw animals, but, I'm extra inspired these days. I went to the great Joe Wetherly's studio a couple of weeks ago. And, I aspire to rach my potential such as he has.

Some work in progress.
