Get The Picture

 "Part of that patched up, crippled up, gone, graduated, sunk, secondary." Larry Munson.

A Work in Progress. 

I got a chance to meet Larry when I did "The 12th Man." Went to his house - we talked fishing and he signed my prints. I felt like I was talking to the radio. I cherish the memory.

No matter how many times I hear it - I get chills when he begs Lindsay to run. I remember pacing the floor in my bedroom and praying right along with Larry for the Dawgs to "Hunker it down one more time." Because of Larry. I remember where I was when Butler kicked it 100,000 miles to beat Clemson and when Herschel "broke the all-time record for a freshman back, 64 or 65 yards" and on and on.

I loved Larry Munson!

Smokin' Joe

A quick one of Smokin' Joe. I am sad to hear of his passing.

Game One Tonight

Love this time of year -World Series and College Football. I expect the Rangers to win the series but I (almost) always pull for the National League. Either way I would like to see a game seven - there hasn't been one since 2002.

Particular Set of Skills

Played around and finished this today. I love the movie "Taken." I especially like when he tells the bad guys "...I have no money, but what I do have is a particular set of skills..."

Class of 2011

My oldest graduated from high school this year. My how time slips away. I did this caricature drawing of my daughters class - I had 26 printed and gave them as gifts. It was a lot of fun.

Sheriff Bart

Taking a break from oil painting today and did this digital painting of Sheriff Bart. Sheriff Bart only man ever whip Mongo.

Quick Caricature of Herschel

I did this quick sketch a few months ago as an idea for a UGA magazine cover. It was not chosen. They wanted a more serious cover. Painting and sketching digitally like this has helped me move faster and grow as a painter.

Super Most Valuable

Bic Ball Point Pen sketch of Super Bowl MVP Aaron Rodgers. Fun to work quickly and try and capture a likeness.

Cameron Action

Still working on this one of Cam Newton 18" x 24" oil on canvas. Would look real good in your War Eagle room.

Bert "Be Home" Blyleven

Morning sketch of Bert Blyleven. He made it to Cooperstown yesterday. ESPN's Chris Berman nicknamed him Bert "Be Home" Blyleven and as a recovering Richard Pryor fan it is one of my favorites. I would add "and bring me back a paper." Now I'm off to the easel.

Coach K

Duke's Mike Krzyzewski passed Dean Smith last week on the all-time wins list. Here is a painting I did of Coach K in action.
