DUDE'S HEAD #5,012

Seriously, how many dude's heads can I paint? A lot, I guess. I went with three colors on this one, with a little bit of black. No ink, just paint. I wanted to get the 3-Dness right.

A lot of my faces lately have taken on a Roman quality; not sure why. So with that in mind, I bring you:

There once was a Roman named Titus
Who rudely would never invite us
To go to his parties
Hosted at Sardi's
So that's why we tell him to "bite us!"

Tomorrow I'm painting a lady. Oh, and here's how this dude started:

POST #301: SINGIN' FARMER

I'm resuming my eBay art career with this guy, SINGIN' FARMER. He looks like he's off-tune, but I'm sure no one minds. He's singing

I am a man of constant sorrow
I've seen trouble all my day.
I bid farewell to old Kentucky
The place where I was born and raised.

That song was in the movie, Oh Brother, Where Art Thou? which the wife and I have yet to see.

Also, I think I can tie this in with the latest ILLUSTRATION FRIDAY topic, Juggle, as I am trying to juggle owning a house for the first time, my regular job, and this art thing.

AND ANOTHER... FACE

I should have left more white space on the nose and a few other places, but not too bad.

SCAVENGER DRAWING

I forgot my artbag one day, and had to borrow from my classmates. This one is from pastels, I think.

FROM YOUTUBE

Sometimes I watch art instruction videos on youtube. Here's what one of those clips taught me. Spooky looking weirdo, no?

I'm back... more faces

Settling into the new house. Very exciting, but no ACEOing on eBay. But I have been going to art class, so here are some of my latest sketches.

RED BELLIED WOODPECKER

This one is going into the show at the Tate Street Coffee House downtown. If it doesn't sell there, it'll go on eBay. Or my wall. It's my bird, I'll do what I want.

UPDATE: Haven't done an Illustration Friday in a while. The topic this week is VISITORS. I'd say this one is appropriate, as the red belly is one of our regular visitors to the feeder.

Speaking of visitors, we had some surprising ones in our NEW back yard - TURKEYS.

BEN'S PICS

NOT mine. Don't want to take the credit/blame. These are by Sutcliffe buddy Ben. He went to art class with me, so here are some familiar images through the eyes of a banjo player.

First, the skull:

Next, the talking teacher:
