New Page on Squidoo About Powdered Graphite


I was inspired recently after working with powdered graphite to create a Squidoo lens about it. it really is a great useful product, but I think many artists shy away from it because pencils are the old standard. On this lens you will find tips on working with it. I hope you'll check it out!

is my favorite to work with.



Busy, Busy

Well, I see I have neglected this blog for awhile, so thought I better show it some attention! So, here is my recent news.

I am working on 2 new original pieces. One is about half way finished and the other I just started. Both are in graphite, although I plan to incorporate some chalk pastel into one of them. I normally keep my hands in 2 or 3 projects at once. That way if I get bored or frustrated with one, I just move on to something different.

I am still searching for the perfect picture of Sean Connery. When drawing celebrities I try to find poses that are not common. I just don't like drawing from a picture that has been seen 1 million time in a publicity campaign. Although, there are always exceptions! Anyway, here is the picture I am leaning towards . . .



Most of my time recently has been tied up with web design. One project will be published within the next few days, and another close to the end of the month. The wedding business is also busy this time of year!

That's all for now, must get back to work!
