Boston life with monsters.

This is from walkin' around Boston followed by a trip to the Museum of Fine Art. They had an exhibit of Odilon Redon's lithographs that were inspiring as hell! Than it was off to the African and oceanic wing to draw some freaky heads. Those tribal head ornaments were so Kirby!

I went to the Harvard Museum of Natural History recently and drew some stuffed, dead things (not the folks on the subway ride there on the left--they were mostly alive). I also took some pictures of funky rocks and minerals. Enough inspiration at that place for texture and form to keep you busy for half a lifetime.

Figure drawing on 18"x24" in brush pen. One of my pens died halfway through the first drawing but it made this great grey for those lighter values on the rest of the doodles.

The poses ranged from 30-45 minutes.
