Just finished this mixed media collage of the Lahaina Town Fire. I’m calling it Paradise Lost. Time to take global warming serious, and do everything we can to save our planet. I say this as I prepare for my first hurricane in Newport Beach.

Portrait in distortion. This is Helen, one of my favorite instructors at #Sketchbookskool . Done in Copic markers, her reflection in an old metal hip socket (her husband is an Orthopedic surgeon). Also, it’s Dogust coming up. Send me a headshot of your dog and I’ll try and draw him or her.
