Just because I like monsters and dinosaurs and dragons so much. This one, like a lot of my color stuff these days is in Photoshop. There are things I like very much about working digitally and things that I like not so much. It seems like I am almost getting…

These are a couple of drawings of the robot bug that I posted a few days ago. They are fairly literal but I still like them. Make some robot bugs and get drawing!

These are drawings that I have been doing with my grammar school kids since I started teaching art. I usually do them as an ice breaker or when I have no idea what else to do! I didn’t come up with the idea; a friend of mine said he remembered…

This is the scene in the Oddyssey just as good ol’ Polyphemus is sitting down to warm his bones beside the fire and he hears some unscrupulous Greeks in the back of his cave. Cyclopes aren’t typically known for their sunny disposition, but as I made this bottom piece I…

I’m not a sculptor nor am I much for technology. But I do love bugs. And robots are kind of cool. I made this robot bug out of junk. I’ve made several drawings of it which I suppose I’ll post. I’m currently tearing apart old VCRs and CD players for…

Ivan Denisovich. This watercolor went pretty quickly and I think I could spend some more time on it now that I am looking at it on the screen. I like it, but I’m not sure if I shouldn’t go back in on it and turn the volume up to 11.

The leviathan is mentioned in the book of Job as some sort of a giant terrifying sea creature – probably a crocodile. I did this for Hobbes’ book of the same name. I made mine part crocodile, part prehistoric whale and part mosasaur. Photoshop.

I’m not really into drawing robots and machines. Don’t get me wrong; when they are done well they are really cool! This is for a War of the Worlds job; I don’t know exactly what it is illustrating, but there you go. It’s a mecha version of the ol’ tripod…

This has been inordinately frustrating for me. I’m not entirely happy with it nor do I hate it. There are parts that I really like and there are parts that I hope you really don’t notice. I’ve spent a shameful amount of time on this and I hope I’m done;…

WHY ST. LUKE'S ATTIC?
St. Luke’s Attic is named after, of course, Saint Luke. There are a couple of reasons that he is the patron saint of artists. The first is that his gospel goes a long way in painting a picture of Jesus and the people who surround him. The other is that he actually painted pictures of Jesus and the Virgin Mary.
