Gil Kaufman at MTV News wondered if the stage design was a portent that the tour would be themed after Joe Vs.

The web-based service requires you to upload a clear photo of your drawing for the system to scan, the design will then be laser-cut from a material of your choosing and shipped to your door.
The system seems like a great way

That's when I do sketch, and I thought I'd start showing it.It actually reveals a great deal about my process. I like to pick a certain part of an object, and draw it.

Kelowna, West Bank from the Mission Hill WineryPencil and water on Paper 4"x6" I spent a couple of days on business in Kelowna, BC. The area is as beautiful as BC gets! While I didn't have any time to do any painting, I managed to sketch a few pen and pencil works worth sharing. Kelowna, Mission Hill Winery Ink and water on Paper 4"x6" Incidentally, if you follow my sketches, you know I like to wet my ink and usually use water-soluble graphite pencils as well. I didn't have my water-soluble graphites with me. All I had was a golf pencil (the tiny ones used to track scores on the golf course). Guess what? I just discovered that these are the cheapest water-soluble pencils around!!! So much for the expensive Derwents!! I know where to get my next stash!! Kelowna, Looking North Ink and wate

It has been a long time since I posted my pen and pencil sketches to this blog. I looked back through my sketch book and chose three to share with you today.The first one was done today at a neighborhood park. It is a loose pen drawing of the park with the houses surrounding it.The second one was done a few weeks ago with charcoal, and a few pastels. An experiment really since I have never used dry pastels before. Turns out I shouldn't use them as they aggravate my asthma and I really don't need thatThe third one is a water soluble graphite pencil drawing. It is very simple but I love it.After Neda's terrible experience last week, I have decided to keep my images very small and nothing larger quality than 96dpi.

Here are another batch of sketches from my recent trip to Australia. These are all done in and around Bloomfield, a secluded area in the Daintree Forest, in northern Queensland.
These first set of sketches were done in the airport or on the plane. Done on lined paper because I cleverly packed my sketchbooks in my luggage!Our first stop was in Sydney, but I didn't get much chance to sketch there. I did manage a very quick one of, inevitably, Sydney Opera House. I have to say, it is an amazing building, inside as well as out. We were lucky to hear an amazing performance of Shostakovich's 8th symphony in the lovely concert hall. And I also did a quick sketch of a gum tree!More to come soon!

Today I had a great time in London, going down with a friend, Glen, and meeting up with Katherine Tyrrell and Tina Mammoser and visiting the watercolour exhibition at the Mall galleries and 2 shows at the National Gallery, along with some old favourites.I'm way too tired to write up the artists tonight but will find time tomorrow.Another highlight of the day was that Tina had promised to bring her 2 books to show - they are both absolutely gorgeous and I highly recommend you zip over to her site and take a look and buy one, you won't regret it. Her work is lovely and the little book really does it justice.It's an early night for me tonight.
We are lucky to have two models on Wednesday mornings. Usually I choose one to paint, but today I decided to bring an umber Cretacolor stick, white conte, and a 9×12″ MiTientes pad, and sketch them both.

I thought I'd spend some more time this year working off of references. The first sketch, to the left, was done directly from a photo in the Wetcanvas! image library. I can see the tentativeness of the lines I made as I tried to reproduce the lines of the reference. Part of the difficulty was that the angle of the photo wasn't directly on the wingspread, but slightly off so that the left wing should be foreshortened a bit, an aspect I didn't capture. The second sketch to the left was an attempt to draw the same butterfly in a freer fashion. Instead it ended up distorted and child-like looking, at least to my eyes. For a third try I decided to use an aid. I sketched out guidelines with a pencil. First, one across the wingspan, then a perpendicular on

I have decided that this painting will be made using Winsor and Newton’s Griffin Alkyd, fast drying oil colour. I want to put these paints through their paces as I have a feeling they might tick all of my boxes. My need to work fast, layering of colour to build up body in a painting and I enjoy the solid butteryness of oil paint. I also want to find something that I can recommend to my students, who want to learn the principals of oil painting but who need to be able to take their work home, after a few days, without getting paint all over their suitcase…so here I go.After the first sketches comes the composition.I have my sketches, some blurry photographs and some notes about my feelings and thoughts at the time. Every one of these things acts as a tool towards the final painting. It

My parents have this beautiful bronze statue of a dancer in their home. I’ve always wanted to paint it, and enjoyed sketching her from many different angles in ink and watercolor. The flowers below were sketched out on the lanai, and the chinese figure is from a set of three, but I only had time to start one, and didn’t get to finish it. These are all on two-page spreads in my sketchbook.
Obviously the study of architecture isn't all about designing buildings. The pursuit of the degree expects some sort of contemplation and criticism of the space around us. I wrote an essay recently, and here is the forward:In this essay, the author explores how “borrowed authority is elusive in nature” and how “construction of historical identities is fluid”. Through the examination of selected works of Glenn Murcutt, and the contemporary revitalisation of Malagasy architecture, the author draws towards a resolution that the notion of borrowed authority is a concept that can exist within an architect’s attempt to possibly rectify the intrusion of imposed and dominating architectural languages. The author then concludes that there cannot be a finite answer for an architect when resolving past architectural impositions in an attempt to revive a native architectural vernacular and thus shows that not only is historical, but architectural identity fluid.Here are a few sketches f
