Pencil, pen and ink on 90lb Bristol. A great example of a finished piece arriving out of a random sketch. One of my favorite exercises is to randomly throw some lines or shapes on paper. Sometimes I’m not even looking at the paper. I like to find images and pull them out of the random forms. I’m certain that there is some kind of sub-conscious exercise in this: I call it “combing my brain.”

great linework!
Thank you Thomas! It’s funny how quick sketches somehow turn into finished pieces.
Oh my gosh. This is amazing. I can actually see a likeness to your profile photo, except I only see a gentle man, not a scarey one. I would love love to see another self portrait in a peaceful mood. They would make a great pair. You are very talented.
