ever since I can remember, I drew, constantly. Its a habit I have never wanted to break. There must be a sketchbook in every car and room in my home, one in my satchel...you got the pixture. With over 37 sketchbooks crammed with strange scribblings, notes, incantations and thoughtscapes, plus a file full of looseleaf drawings on everything from napkins to pieces of newspaper...its out of control. And who wants to. I just keep drawing and doodling until something evolves and grows into the next stage...full color. Drawing has been the basis of almost all of my artwork. Its impossible to discount the power of the simple drawing and its effect on an artist. You might as well tape a pencil to my right index finger. Guess there must be more than one artist out there with lead poisoning because of this habit. These are random sketches, some without any other purpose than to entertain myself. Some were refined to final comp and sold to commercial venues. Beneath just about every painting...is a drawing to guide the artist's brush.
