"Horned Beast"

"Horned Beast"

18 x 24" / watercolor, acrylic & ink on paper

I was just playing around with watercolors on large sheets of paper, when this image began to take shape. More or less, it's a warm-up sketch gone wild.

Don't let that dazed look in her eyes fool you. This lady's a born killer. And whatever horn-headed creature used to own that skull she's sporting as a hat, the poor beast clearly never stood a chance.

"No escaping the explosion. Those who are dozin', I close in.

Set the thermostat at sub-zero, they're frozen."

New Football Drawings

"Enter The Red Zone #87" / 9 x 12" / watercolor, acrylic & ink on paper

Low & behold, I've actually been creating football illustrations, this season. I've even been sketching a bit during college games! Honestly, how could I resist? These pieces are a combination of two of my favorite things -- art and football!

The top illustration is from a play where Colts wide receiver, Reggie Wayne, made a catch in the Bills' red zone, and it took three Buffalo defenders to tackle him.

"Unto The Breach" / 9 x 12" / watercolor, acrylic & ink on paper

And the second piece is from one of the many times during the Houston vs. Detroit Thanksgiving matchup, where Texans running back, Arian Foster, plowed through the Lions' defense like a freight train rolling through a stack of pound cakes.

Look for more of these to start sneaking up on the blog, between now and The Super Bowl.
