night of watching too much TV

We were at Pantages the other day for the opening night of “Wicked”. The show was great. But how about that theater!! I wanted to sketch “everything”, but there’s too much.. without much thinking I started to just draw what I could..


Prepare for some serious jabberwocky -
balancing work, inputs and outputs -
As I define it, inputs are everything from movies, books, master copies, studies, visit to the musem and galleries, travels, etc.
Outputs are my own work.
Work is - well, work..and I am lucky to draw all day everyday for work.
But I am not balanced at the moment.
It’s been almost 6 month since I last painted for real.
I’ve set up this blog to push myself to create on a daily basis.
It has stalled several times.
How do I get back into shape??
There are many many inspirational artists out there - all accessible on the cyber world.
I visit their blogs and get motivated.
Then I go to their links that connect hundreds more -
then I get overwelmed and realise it’s 3am.

painted this as a farewell gift for a friend leaving LA.
4×6 gouache

I’d like to do this in real paint someday - but for now, slacking off with photoshop..
here’s a BW sketch I did a while ago..

colored just the right comp

The original is only like 6×10 in size - I scanned it at 150 dpi

ps - the building is really that green… I’m not too good with water color, so I kinda stopped it at that..
quick sketch in the afternoon
