Illustration - mark making



These are a couple of sketchbook items that were from just playing around, Emily Carr has free figure drawing on fridays and its nice to get out and draw without the rules and see what happens, these came out of a couple fridays, not great but interesting.

Illustration - Lines



These are couple oldies from my sketchbook one is camping trip and the other is an alter ego that I haven't heard from in awhile, John Ford where are you.?

Illustration - Jim Dine



I have always admired Jim Dine, these are two copies of his work and the apple is instead of his red glove.....

Illustration - More Six Day News



My alter ego (one of many) Des Burns is seen here on some mag covers from the past. Des was a pro racer ripping up the wooden tracks of NewYork, Chicago, and Toronto when racing was hardcore and photo finishes and registration was all analog.

Illustration - Momentum


Momentum magazine has been very good to me, Amy keeps inviting me to send in drawings based on articles and this time she gave me a lot of room to interpret the article anyway I wanted. If you get a chance pick up a copy - do so and let me know if you see the parallels in the Illustration. I had a great time doing it, the magazine promotes great things and I am happy to be a part of it in this small way. Cheers to bikes.

Illustration - Masters


You can never look at the Masters enough, I can always learn and be inspired by looking at the lines, the ways in which they represented form and shape, and mass, etc.... I was drawing in a sketch book and this is what happened, I will have to tell you about my trip to the British Museum in London some day, it sends chills down my back just thinking of it - here's to history.
