Anchovy, Portrait of a Distinguished Lady Cat

Finally finished this cat portrait for a friend of mine. I'm not too crazy about it since I think the piece itself is very boring in nature. I was going for a stately look, much like a Victorian painting...but it's lacking. It's too plain, not enough going on for my taste. I'm on a new path of completing paintings and work in general, though, so I had to finish this regardless of liking it or not.

Old Sacrificial Ritual Drawing

Finally got to scan an old image that I drew in my friend's sketchbook a while back. I should make more of these drawings again.

BASEMENT RECOVERY

I've been cleaning up my basement lately...getting rid of a lot of stuff that I don't use anymore to make more space to work and keep my musical instruments in order. I ran into this CD full of old drawings I did in college for Karen Santry's class. I still wonder if this is any good at all. You can be the judge of it.
