I’m done!

Ladies and gentlemen, girls and boys…

Drum roll please….

The old Jerusalem unveiled…

13feet x 36 ft latex/acrylic on muslin

54 hours of work, more or less, from start to finish, including the time when I first drew the scene on paper, based on what Pr. Randy gave me.

This is what he first gave me..

It was alot of fun [...]

I’m so close to being done, but the closer I get, the more it seems I still have to do.
I really need more mustles on my arms and legs. Tomorrow I will have to up and down the ladder, as I add details to the tall buildings.
Say a prayer for a speedy accomplishment.
Thanks for [...]

about an hour’s worth of work

Often times, I find people have a hard time getting a sense of how much time it takes to do certain things, especially when it comes to art.

I often have a hard time keeping track of how long it takes for me to do things.

But yesterday, my time was limited, so it was easy for [...]

back on the wall

Yesterday I helped Pastor Tim get my mural back on the wall first thing in the morning. Between that and the other people that came by, I didn’t get as much done as I’d hoped. Either way, some progress was made, and I am happy to be able to walk back from it and get [...]

onto the details

I’m still working on the mural.

Now, I think I have had all the help from other volunteers I can, and I have to do the rest on my own.

The buildings need to be one unit, and I need to do all the details myself. I won’t be able to get anyone to do it like [...]

The daunting mural

About 6 weeks ago, I was asked if I’ve done murals before, by a leader from our new church. Without hesitating, I said, yes. It’s true, I have done a couple.

Little did I know what I was getting myself into. I had said yes to painting, and leading other volunteers, to paint the backdrop for [...]

church and art

Lately, church and my art, seem to be linked.
I mean, somehow, while there, while listening to the pastor, or Sunday school, I find the “moment” to sketch.
Maybe because I am sitting still and not amidst a million tasks. Maybe because I am not in front of the computer. Maybe because I make it [...]

church membership

Deciding to move from New York was a no-brainer.
As a matter of fact, it had been around 3 years of prayer, hoping for a chance to get out of New York.
You might think that is crazy, since most people are trying to get to NYC, instead of getting out.
Well, the thing is, when you have [...]

last drawing of 2008

This is the last sketchbook drawing I did in 2008. I feel good about my progress during this past year, but I’m really excited about this new year!

What do you think I should draw more of?

30 Places – Graffiti(one of my favorite places)

There’s not much to tell here.

We were in New York for the weekend, and while there, I took the opportunity to sketch and add to my 30 places project.

Graffiti is, hands down, one of my favorite places, and it’s always wonderful to be there, but it makes me miss it more when we leave.

It worked [...]
