Description
Monolithic updatePencil on Illustration Board
Full drawing 30” x 40” this image 7” x 7”
This is the fourth element in this drawing, The seconded being my step fathers eye and the sky and bulb being the first.
This is drawing of my father’s eye, artist, creator, destroyer, blue collar philosopher an eye of a romantic living a charmed life. Coming upon eighty years of age, has he attained the dreams, reached goals set so long ago? Or avoided success. This symbol speaks of grand accomplishments and painful losses, but where hope never diminishes.
(on the morning of 9/10/11 at 7:40 my father Fritz Mersmann passed away quietly and peacefully. He was my hero in so many ways, my greatest teacher in art, my inspiration in life. He was truly a beautiful soul……………Gods Speed Papa, I love you.)
Thanks for looking

I kind of new to the drawing scene and I am getting better every day. However I am glad I stubled onto your images, it gives me something to strive for. Your work really is an inspiration and seems to really push the limits of what people thought a pencil could do.
I guess I just want to say thanks. Keep it up.

The detail in this is INCREDIBLE!
One thing that I've always found difficult with doing portrait work is the hair and eyelashes - I always make them too dark! The eyelashes on the bottom of the eye on the left are supurb - how do you get such clean lines? Do you use a rubber to achieve the white? I love the way you did the shine too - it looks so realistic........
