Here are a few portraits I did in one minute each (OK, probably a few minutes in most cases) while waiting in line dealing with a stolen passport. I completed about 70 of them which gives you a sense of the time it took to get to the front of the line.

Portraits in pencil and brush pen, Moleskine pocket book (3.5″ x 5.5″ each); all completed on the same basic grid. Click on the images to enlarge.

A new page for “Drowning in venice”. Ink and watercolor on paper, 11″ x 17″.

A few autoportraits for an upcoming story. Ink and watercolor on paper, 11″ x 17″ each. Click on the images to enlarge.

Illustration Mundo was featuring an illustration by Ronald Kurniawan today so I checked his web site and stumbled upon a few of his beautiful sketches. It must be the perfect storm -his site was also featured in the UK version of Web Designer which I picked up last week in London.

And while I am at it shamelessly writing about discoveries made on Illustration Mundo, check out Mark Brown which they also featured recently.

Now if you want to see illustrations that will make you happy and nostalgic while triggering that strange longing you have since you were a kid for miniatures and puppets, you have to read Chris Sickels blog. Wonderful.

Drawings made on a London Heathrow to San Francisco flight. The last two are photoshop composite of the previous sketches and of a few others completed during the flight -what they call “postproduction” in the movies.

“Insemination”, ballpoint on paper.
