Carnaval of Stars artwork
November 12th, 2008 at 12:00am
This weekend I was at the CARNIVAL OF STARS! Belly Dance and Comic convention at Centennial Hall in Hayward. The dancing was great and the people wonderful. I did quite a few drawings for the conventions attendees, including some caricatures.
Some of my favorites (note some drawings have been given some color by way of Photoshop)
This next drawing is one of my favorites since I think I was “in the ZONE” at the time. I drew the following drawings with a brush dipped in ink.

Aging glam rocker.
Fantasy gal.
Dragon.
A sexy retro girl. (This one sold! Yay!)
A strange meeting.
This picture I did at one of my teaching gigs. I thought it was a fun sketch.

A new president of the USA
November 4th, 2008 at 9:38pm
I normally do not talk politics on my blog, but I feel inclined to do so today. Barack Obama will be the next president of the United States of America. I just watched his speech and am feeling excited for our future as a nation. The future is still uncertain, but maybe all of us (red and blue states both) can truly work together for the betterment of all. But for that to happen we will have to embrace all our fellow citizens no matter their economic status, background or orientation. But I have hope we can do it.
