The Broken "T"

I shared this on Yammer a little while back when the T was delayed almost everyday for a week. Thought I would throw it up here too.

My Own House of Mirrors

Here is another one from the only person sharing on this blog that has a hard time drawing a stick figure...

My Own House of Mirrors

A reflection stairs back at me,

With light, happy, younger eyes.

A glimpse into a past of mine,

Before the sound of empty cries.

I turn back to my journey,

Stumbling through this maze of time.

A deep feeling of heaviness in my soul,

From this guilt of an unknown crime.

Flashes of emotions on my left and right,

Quietly tell me the stories of my life.

Guiding me over the hills I’ve lived,

Not loosing sight of a forgotten strife.

A vision of a blue house,

That enveloped my dreams of youth.

Seeing the lessons I learned there,

Yet missing some unspoken truth.

More scenes come to view and fade away,

As my feet follow a single road.

The pictures seem to guide me onward,

Following directions I was never told.

Walking down these never ending halls,

These endless rows of restless reflections.

I’m left with a haunting, tainted vision,

With no one to hear my silent objections.

Blindly following the sound of my feet,

Masked with a smile and cradled in tears.

I’ll wonder on alone in these halls,

In this, my own house of mirrors.

Celtics Design

Per Brian's request, a quick Celtics design. Would love to see banner #18 hanging in the rafters this spring!

Light & Shadows Practice

Experimenting with light & shading angles. Kwaku Boah is the guy in the picture..... A good friend of mine and former track/field athlete from Syracuse.

GearHeads

Here's something I recently finished. (I was on a roll about a week ago - this week? nuthin...) I feel they deserve a Happy Meal toy line, so, if anyone knows Mayor McCheese, let me know.

Another piece I finished last week.

Bruins Desktop Wallpaper Design

Took a couple minutes and put together a desktop wallpaper design. Bruins fans - enjoy.

Bonsai!

Taken this weekend at Lake Tahoe.

You Were Mine For A Day

You Were Mine For A Day

They say we all get,

Our fifteen minutes of fame,

Some do it honestly,

Others bare it in shame.

Some take to the music,

Others play on the screen,

I took to love’s path,

And painted my dream.

With a palette of life’s colors,

And a brush I stole from fate,

I created my hearts vision,

Only a moment too late.

When I painted your eyes,

I stole the Caribbean’s blue,

Lightly streaking through your hair,

As the Oceans wind blew.

A picture of God’s angels,

Is where I stole your smile.

Creating you inside my head,

Falling for you all the while.

I lingered in my dreams,

Until I got your body right.

My breath silently held back,

As I took you in my sight.

You take your life’s first breath,

And look so deeply into me.

My picture is now painted.

Your soul is now set free.

The final gift to you I give,

Was shot from Cupid as a dart.

Inside your perfect being,

I place my fiery heart.

You smile at me and wave,

And trust in come what may.

I smile while you leave and know,

That you were mine for a day...

Character Illustration

A Little Traditional...

I am in awe of all you digital media masters. I would certainly like to learn more of those skills in the not-so-distant future. In the meantime, my medium of choice is smeared paint on canvas. For whatever reason, I really like to paint portraits so this is mostly what I do. Here is one of Alexander Graham Bell.

Greg Paulus - Syracuse Football

From my time at Syracuse Football I established a lot of solid friendships with some very talented athletes. You may remember Greg Paulus from either Syracuse football or his time at Duke playing basketball. I had a lot of fun putting it together!

Testing :)

So, I draw in my free time. I originally set out to college with shiny eyes and a dream of becoming a 2D animator, but due to mass layoffs at Disney in the early 2000's, I decided to pursue design. This is just a simple sketch with some quick Photoshop color - the image will link to my DeviantArt where you can see the image full size.

I mainly enjoy fantasy art - mythology, fearies, elves, the usual.

El Scariachi - by bassmus

Check out the original post here.
El Scariachi was a character I created a few years ago. It was a quick sketch and it needed some updating, so I uhhh...updated it. I guess that's not a very good story.

Superhero arrows - by bassmus

Check out the original here.
This started out when I drew an arrow that looked kinda like Batman. Or maybe it just looked like an arrow... regardless i figured when else would I have a reason to draw Aquaman...
