Hi everybody!
I’m having a Holiday Sale right now on my Etsy shop! All original paintings are 50% off until January 31! (That probably makes it a Holiday + Post-Holiday Sale, but just think of it as something to spend that gift money on.) My originals are normally priced at $100 for watercolor paintings and $50 for brush paintings, so if you’ve ever had your eye on one of these, now’s the time to get it!
Another week of sketch noir — I hope some of you like this style, because it always feels like sort of an indulgence on my part. Then again, that could probably be said of nearly everything I’ve done this year. I try to draw and paint what interests me, and hopefully it interests some of you as well.

More Sketch Noir! Going straight detective genre with this week’s set, which is fine by me. Would love to do a whole project in this style someday. I mean, that is, besides the one that I already did.

Back in 2009 I did a series of noir-themed sketchbook drawings called Sketch Noir. I drew everything with a brush pen (this one, if you’re curious) straight onto the page with no underdrawing or planning of any kind. Even the dialog (when there was dialog) was usually improvised on the spot.
Eventually the series ended, but I’ve always wanted to revisit that style. It’s not exactly the same as what I was doing four years ago — as this time I’m working digitally and I can actually make corrections or plan my layouts — but my hope is that it captures the spirit of what I was doing then.

One more week of video game pulp paperback covers — I just couldn’t pass up the opportunity to do another set of these. I suppose it’s fitting that three of these are sequels/prequels to games in last week’s set.
