I have been adapting a style lately that more accurately reflects my personality and how I work. In the past, I have tried so hard to polish my style--to create works that are "gleaming" in their finished appearance. The ironic thing is that those pieces generate nowhere near the positive reaction that my looser, less polished pieces generate. I have shown my portfolio to people, watched them flip past all of the pieces that I was so proud of because of their polished finish only to have them stop at gaze at some sketch. I don't know what that says about me but I think I am going to explore this for awhile.Here is another piece from my sketchbook...

Hear hear! These are looking awesome man! You're absolutely right about people pausing on a doodle and by-passing something you've poured yourself into, I know what you mean.
And, this is just a guess but would that be a caricature of Jim Broadbent?

Wow, what a link.
Bwahhhahahah! Jim Broadbent! Funnily enough, no. It's not, but it might be that his wonderful face is somewhere in my subconscious. If there were ever a face that were screaming to be caricatured... I was watching Brazil the other day and didn't realize that he played the plastic surgeon in that movie. What a guy...
