The Wisdom of Splinter

No drawing today, just wanted to post a favorite clip of mine from the original TMNT movie.

The scene I posted below made such an impact on me the first time I saw it so many years ago and still does to this day. Powerful stuff, even though you have a rat talking to a turtle, still knocks the wind out of you.

Stand by Me

A little more tradition...

So I've been craving just pencil to paper and brush to canvas as of late... so I did a couple of gouche portraits of my favorite characters. I painted them traditionally and then touched them up in photoshop. More to come!
