"Courtney Graffiti 1" July 07 My lack of productivity of late is at the fault of nothing in particular. Finding inspiration as always, proves to be an obstacle with the weight of dark matter. *something so small weighs as much as a thousand suns...yeah.
I've been sketching a bit. Trying to let the pencil do the thinking, unfortunately it seems the pencil is as freshly out of ideas as I am. Even as such I will post a few pages from my sketchbook though none of it is spectacular.
I had been having problems with my computer feeling the need to turn off unexpectedly at the most inopportune moments. It did not just blink off, it shut down all of the applications *though if i saved my work when it did this, the file would turn up corrupt. FANTASTIC. I disassembled my computer and dusted everything out with compressed air and it seems to have done the trick. It looks like there was so much dust in the heat sync that it was causing the processor to heat up and shut down before it damaged itself.
The newfound *or rather REfound ability to finish work on my computer has resulted in...nothing. I can work again, but i've been so far from motivated to paint anything i have hardly touched andthing adobe or corel. HOWEVER, facebook has a graffiti application now and i've done a few odd things on that for kicks.
A randomly filled page from my sketchbook. I've been told that working in silhouettes can help come up with ideas so i gave it a try. it is not easy.
I had a themed night of drawing yesterday evening. A few pages of odd creatures with a page of a story idea. (see "the narrow man")
A sketch for a partial concept idea. Headdress/rigid
A nymph of some sort. I recently ordered an in depth lesson for being able to draw human anatomy from memory. It hasn't arrived yet, but i was seeing what i could pull out as it is so i can mark any form of improvement.
Miscellaneous portraits and hands. I believe the two were from a book i use as a reference source . Fresh Fruits
Another graffiti drawing. Back onto the creatures, hands and muscles.

Hey Colin,
I had gotten to your profile before, but hadn't realized that I could go from there to your blog. I like it. Thanks for the comment on the Shambhala. It was really hard for me. The video doesn't do it justice because you can't tell how slopey the top is. Anyway, check out the messageboard on frontrangebouldering.com as soon as possible. The header photo is you backwards.
David
