I made this, once again using photo reference, for my Dad and his buddies. They call their loose group of dudes in small planes the "Hundred Horse Air Force", in reference to the small engines their planes have. I am going to try and do more of these goofy, often anachronistic paintings just because they think they are awesome and I need the practice.
Here's Joe's Aeronca Chief in a low-level drag race with Strega - one of the fastest race planes in the world. The top speed disparity between these two planes is about 400 mph.

Here's a picture I did of my sister for her birthday. It was carefully gridlined out, and is definitely a color study practice piece. HAPPY BIRTHDAY AMELIA.

Two game puzzle ideas.

These two drawings sort of started off the whole tiny house drawing thing, as they were meant to be rough ideas for game puzzles in a black-and-white,  western frontier victorian era etching style videogame I was hoping to make. I never got my reference books in from amazon, so I started drawing some. Here's two rough studies.
Here's a steam-driven two-stage stamp mill. 

This is a totally, totally realistic,working, uh, aircooled, single-piston OHC engine - I didn't draw the timing sprocket and chain on the other side of the head. So, you know, that TOTALLY makes it unrealistic. Standing in an inexplicable cone of dark light, there is a little figure in the lower left hand side to give you a sense of scale. Directly above him in the upper left is the control center for the engine.

Large, unclean scan and House T-shirt rough idea.

Here's everyone's favorite, waiting to be cleaned up and praised by art critics the world wide. It may even win a Pulitzer Prize, which I always thought was a "Pull-it Surprise", which confused the hell out of me as a kid. I still have no idea what it is, and I refuse to learn.

I need to do a better cleanup on this next one, but I'm guessing that I'm going to start making a shirt out of it once I can get my other work printed.

I have a little house scanned that I intend to clean up soon. It's more or less the standard size for these drawings:

Here is as clean as I'm going to go for now:

Victorians: rough cleanup

Here is a rough cleanup of one my Victorian drawings - I have many more to come. Really, the only thing notable about this drawing is that it's only about 2.5 inches wide and maybe 4" tall. Blown up here, on the internet, the effect is lost but oh well. I reckon I have about 6 more hours of detail cleanup before this is a printable image.

Photoshop Studies - Airship 001.

This is the first airship I've painted, and really the first time I've actually tried to do a painting in photoshop other than screwing around.

Photoshop study: Airship 01

Here's an airship I painted up just to practice photoshop painting, which I'm really new to, and get used to the brushes and layer orders.

Here's some pictures of the process, starting from a rough silhouette I made.

And then, of course, the final version - or at least the version where I threw in the towel and decided to not make the same mistakes I made in this one on the next.
