Overlay drawings have existed from 33,000 years ago with the Chauvet Cave Horse Heads. These are actually not much different than those, but with men instead of animals.

These drawings are either live from a model, studies for paintings, or visual concepts. Ink drawing is particularly tricky as there is no erasing. I don't blur but carve the light by lines massaging the forms.

Charcoal is likely the first art medium and is the foundation for drawing. It is an amazing versatile medium that can me used for fine lines or for painterly atmosphere. It is also very tactile, the artist can rub it. It has a special place for students learning figure drawing. I particularly like to see what unique feelings and body arrangements that I can achieve with it.

Giclees are the most advanced in printing reproduction, non-fade inks, and a millions of pigments per square inch. I find they have the feel of an original artwork. My editions are limited to 100. Hand signed and numbered. $1,000.

I love this series so much. Animals are such an important part of our lives, but I had always resisted painting them. Because I view humankind as by far the more important subject. My doggy, Frida, could care less about art. My solution was to make the animals small within the canvas, and that gave me the right sense of hierarchy. Instead of being bugged by big dog portraits, it felt amazingly free and happy to include animals as a small part of the canvas universe.

Lithography is a process of the artist drawing/painting on a flat stone(s) with a special ink. The stone is then treated with a special gum mixed with acid, which delicate eats away at non-painted areas. Then the stone is rolled with ink that adheres to the positive areas. Then paper is laid over the stone and rolled through a press, leaving an image. Some lithos are made up from different impressions on the stones, and can serve different colors. The laughing face is make of 3 colors, one stone for each color.
