I love the curvature with the spikes...it almost looks to be the backbone or vertebrae of the bird!! Very lovely!!

you know i've been hiding them... but i think maybe i should start putting them on. i don't have a scanner but i do have trusty digital camera...
so yeah... i'll do that. i have a question for you though.. is this a style you saw somewhere.. or did you start doing it when you were young and it just sort of grew.. it looks like the dreams behind my eyes right before i fall asleep.. you know the ones i wish i could draw or speak...

thanks again, and it's nice you see you see the same things I do I'm sure not all of it, but the general flow and look of it with some characterzations.
I did 4, I believe, or five over a month and a half to 2 months. Still have 2 or 3 pen and inks to post. You know I don't like to post to many closer togeher. For the most part I've posted when I finish them, but in this case, I didn't. Most paintings take me 100 to 150 hrs.
Thes---hmmm---from 30 to 50 hrs. Something like that for 9x 12's

Very cool! That is one serious-looking bird.

lol I know Jenn--it is one serious looking bird. Viewed from a distance with a little different lighting you can sort of see a mans head there too on the left, while towards the bach is the hair, like a wavy hair. Thank you Jenn

its like you have plaited/braided this bird by drawing it. [i am sorry, but i am not sure if the words are right] its very complicated and interesting piece.

me too Most of them so little is seen in a way. Well, the paintings like Step Beyond, etc. It's frustrating for me to know how little of what is going on in them is seen at all. Takes time---months. Thanks for the generous compliment

Another eye catcher, so many details, are those spikes on the side? I often wonder where you get the idea from, or if you just start to doodle and go from there

Thank you Irene
It all starts with a few lines. The remaining I call improvisation. Same with Jazz in a way. Instand composition over chord progressions,etc. The improvised line can be very complex and composed instantanious. Similiar to what I do with my art style. Something like that :hug

You know how many times i've heard people say " i've met someone and she looks just like you! " and 99% of the time I felt that person didn't look like me at all, but you never know, I guess I just have one of those faces lol.

yesss. There's an actress. What's her name? Kidda? Kidman. She's older now, but when she was younger I would say I see you in her.
I think the woman I met is close---you'll see. I have such good eyes for that.

heyyyyyyy. How are you? You pop in and out like a jack in the box
Just got back last week from Florida. It was great. I talked (as usual) to many people. Especially at the rest stops where smoking is permitted on the Disney grounds.
Met some artists ytoo. Much fun. Hope all is going good for you.
Nice to hear from you
