Random Creations of Late

Here are some odds and ends from the last while..

Portrait of my Grandparents, Neil and Grace.
I worked off a photo they gave me, taken in 1969.


I chased some geese around the golf course with my camera, and got a few good shots of them taking off. I was inspired particularly by the shadows I saw...they can take on so many shapes and be abstracted in countless ways, depending on the light source(s).

I was staring at the original drawing one night before I fell asleep, and decided I wanted to play with different symmetrical compositions.








This one reminded me of a mask...





I saw a strange shape on the stucco ceiling as sunlight was pouring into my bedroom, and decided to sketch it. I decided this one looked like a painter at his easel.


Flipping it, I saw a nobleman with a goatee.




I combined the images horizontally, and by fluke, came out with a pattern that resembles a praying mantis face.
