Guten Tag!

Actually, Jabber, I used a Very, very light touch because the pencil I used was a fountain pen- remember fountain pens- two centuries ago?

The last one is a nudist colony. I began with the girl on the bottom of the drawing - on the beach...then began to add more and "naturalists".

Thanks or your comments.

Here are a few more images from Sorrento Italy...

There's the Grand Marina

The ancient walls of the city

The Italian girls with ther best "tude" on...

Thanks.

Here are some of today's sketches - turning People into Animals...please note no people were harmed during the execution of these sketches...

Thanks.

Here are some more People to Animals pix.

Here are some more sketches- Ty B. Bear, etc.

Here a couple more...

Thanks.

Thanks Pat,

Quite hoenstly, I literallly drew them while waiting for my pizza down at the beach. Just paper towels and a skech pen and not even a thumbnail.

They came in the order they are posted...

I like the first one- especially the idea that came about a mermaid in the bucket-it just flowed. The last drawing of the crazy nudist colony thingy was
really very organic - not pun intended.

I was just having fun.

Here are a few more from Sorrento, Italy...

The first is a sketch down by the Sea

The second is a water color of the coastline...

The third sketch isone of some of the people we saw.

The Italian women single or married ALWAYS have an attitude.

The Brits, especially the women try to let go... the woman on the right is a Brit housewife trying to be Italian (which would be akin to me being French).

Thanks

Scat...
The toned paper can be bought at an art store...I bought mine at ExLibres (the school store) in Savannah.

Thanks.

More Stuff

I managed to draw a few quick sketches during class - turning students into mice....

Thanks.

Hello,

Believe it or not...I am finally getting around to organizing my sketch books from last summer's travels. I spent 6 1/2 weeks in Europe and then went back to teach at SCAD's lacoste campus for the Fall 05 term.

I have so many drawings...of such a wonderful 6 months abroad I just want to share.

Many thanks to Glenn Vilppu for his friendship and guidence...and to Graham Toms, my artistic "brother" and to the zany, wonderful and dedicated animation students who shared my adventure - Missy, Charlie, Jeremy, Darius, Robin, Richmond and Drew...and of course most all to my wife, muse and partner, Tricia.

Thanks
