Clam Beach StreamClam Beach Stream
I've been struggling the last few weeks with ideas for either 3D renders or 2D drawings. Clam Beach Stream is a Bryce render from a photograph I took at Clam Beach during our February trip.

Busting Out All OverBusting Out All Over
It's June. I like to at least one image in June for Gay Pride. This year I thought I'd do an abstract piece this year.

Inspired by two things. The first is my son's yellow bucket that we got for our trip to San Diego. The second is a lovely pastel I saw on a The Pastel Painting Blog.

Parellel Lines expands on some ideas I was trying out for "Busting Out All Over." It's also somewhat inspired by last year's piece, "Oscar's Place."

Parallel LinesUnder Construction
"Under Construction" is my first hand drawn portrait since December of 2006. This time I used the pen tool on four separate layers (hat, skin, shirt and sky) to draw the construction worker. In my most recent drawings, I've been using Illustrator but I prefer the color selection tools of Photoshop and I'm more comfortable with the program.

I drew this piece in Photoshop from a photograph I took last yaer.

I took the render from "Parallel Lines" and made a gray scale height map for Bryce's terrain editor. I then made a box of these terrains, added in some new red balls and rendered.
