2 drawings

Being Don Draper has kept be pretty busy lately, but I wanted to throw some sketches out there, just to keep my hand in.




The first done on a perfectly lovely sunday afternoon while drinking country club with Kelsey on the roof of Lina's apartment,. The second, the product of an equally lovely evening with Elke by the Brooklyn Bridge. See how easily I'm influenced by others? Wouldn't you agree this trait makes me uniquely qualified to work in advertising?

a week ago i got a ticket because i forgot to move my car.
a good opportunity to decorate.

i included these instructions with the ticket.

snow day

is it obnoxious to post the same thing in my own blog and this one?

it has been gently snowing outside all day & class is canceled. this makes for excellent working weather. so i cleaned up a little bit of my apartment and organized my art to enter the ai/ap contest.

i don't really like the idea of contests and competition regarding art. i understand that it may motivate some artists and that the concept has been around for ages, but it just doesn't appeal to me at all. there are enough outlets and visual space for everyone's art in this world (without adding competition), just not enough money. if you are making art and other people love it, that is enough of a reward. unfortunately, this is 2009 and all of us need money to survive. otherwise i'd be living on a farm with other artists, living off the land and showing art downtown with no intentions of monetary profit. just to share.

that is my spiel. this is what i entered, some new & old. these are all for various assignments, if you have any questions on the nature of them i will do my best to explain via the comment box. i seriously doubt i have any chance of getting in, mostly because my work varies a lot and i'm still developing "my style". but it's good practice i guess.

hello!

this is from my sketch book.
