Gouache studies from tonight. All Zorn palette all the time. I’m really happy with how these turned out.

Some quick Rebecca Guay studies in gouache. When I played Magic the Gathering in the 90s I’d run five color all Rebecca Guay decks and lose miserably. Her work is a big reason I became an illustrator.

A few sketches from last night on my new, more compact sketch easel setup. I like being able to control the angle of the substrate independent of the tray surface in this design

Some sketchbook drawings from NYC, the drop-in figure drawing night that I run at school, and from a recent artist talk. And also a Scully in gouache

I like watching the Criterion closet pick videos but not enough of them pick Salo. I want them all to pick Salo.

This is my first oil painting in over a decade. I really hated everything about painting in undergrad but last year I guess my attitude changed and I’ve been enjoying going back to physical media.
