Howdy folks! Yeah, it’s been a little while but hopefully you’re all still hanging with us. I keep trying to convince Greg to just sleep every other day, but he’s not buying it.
I just returned from an awesome visit to my parent’s secret lair in Rhode Island. We did some fishing, hit the beach, and toured some amazing galleries. We were finally able to check out Norman Rockwell’s studio which was a lot like going to church. Also, if you’re ever in the Newport area, be sure to hit the National Museum of American Illustration. The place took us completely by surprise with a remarkable collection of Leyendecker, Rockwell, and Parish to name a few. It was truly an inspirational kick in the pants.
I’ve really been missing working traditionally lately so for this week’s post I stuck with a brush pen for the inking. I almost abandoned the image a couple times while painting (with a few rants for good measure) but I figured all the trouble was a good sign that I needed to work it out. More to come soon!
