it was there i found a book bound with leather, let it flow

oh hello. one night my roommate ralph requested that i draw him. ralph has really interesting features, including a pretty amazing brow and his mother's eyes, but in the past year he's been growing out the hair for a film that he's in. as much as we call him jesus/charles manson, he keeps on. it was a lot of fun drawing him from his pose :)
first drawing of the day the other day... from a yoga magazine at javas. oh, and reggie too <3

since this guy i know was published in bestlife magazine, i decided to give it a look-see. i find the articles incredibly interesting, and the photorefs pretty dapper. oh, and bubbles snuck in there too.

finally, my fave drawing that i've ever done of greggles. despite the wonky arm. location: javas :)

you can call me al. or, the gozz knows

Oh hey, the holidays are over. It's 2009. What have I been up to you ask? Working on my show. Framing, matting, furrowing my brow. The opening is this Friday, the 16th, at 240 East Avenue in Rochester, New York from 6-9pm. I've been pretty crafty lately as well, working on my rug out of pompoms you see on top there. Tie them together and it's a fuzzy warm rug on a cold hardwood floor. Finally, I'm working on my final sketch to give to the happy couple, ALison and ALan for their wedding invite. I can't wait to paint it!!!!!

when sketchbooks wander away

it has been brought to my attention that i need to update more. apparently i just got new photoshop which will allow me to! i've been drawing a lot of animals lately, but once in awhile i need my people fix. this was a warm up sketch from the other day, while i was getting into the groove.
