I'm currently in-between drawings so I'm afraid viewers you will get a regurgitated, old and "lame as" drawing done some time ago. Here in Australia it will be autumn (fall for the US-centric) on 1 March - yes I know the rest of the world times the beginning of their seasons slightly differently. We are fortunate in Canberra to have a true four seasons, very shortly the breezes and winds will pick up. This always heralds the mass changing in colour and dropping of leaves accompanied by the scrunching sound of the leaves underfoot - it is really a quite a visually beautiful time of the year.
As I said I'm in between drawings, although I have completed one drawing since Wrestlemania 4, which I'm very happy with but for whatever reason am not prepared to share at this stage. I'll keep that one to myself for a while longer. I'm also getting quite excited about the next drawing as I go through the conceptualisation stage, again it will be a natural history subject. I seem to be in a creative spur at the moment, I should really take advantage of that more than I do. <<Older Main Newer>>

Your leaves look very dry and crunchy! You have such fine talent. Enjoy your soon-to-be autumn!

What a beautiful drawing. I can almost feel the crunch. I had the pleasure of visiting your beautiful country last summer (your winter!) but it was warm and lovely in Brisbane and Mooloolaba.

People always focus on the colors of Autumn leaves, but I’ve always loved the twisting shapes just as much, & this drawing really captures them perfectly.
