A mermaid....?

It has been a while since I actually had a complete drawing ; or something close to one. Well here is a drawing of a mermaid that I did last week. I made this drawing specifically for a Facebook and e-mail
blast for Peggy O'neill's at Coney Island (Brooklyn, NY)- I also designed the ad as well.This mermaid was not the first I made for the ad.

This mermaid right here was the first;
a few differences; not sure why I decided not to go with this one (I think it was the eye...). Unfortunately I have to say both
drawings were rushed, and I did not spend enough time developing a mermaid with "more character" ....Then again I think
both drawings have some potential, and maybe I'll make more out of both of them in the future....

More sketches, from 2008

Here are some more sketches from 2008:

A new design....

...not sure what to call this yet...came up with it early this month. A friend invited me to a free performance at Carnegie Hall, and sometime during the performance a design on one of the instruments on stage (I forget which one) had caught my eye. Technically the design I'm displaying here is nothing like the original design I had seen on the instrument; it's kinda got the shape of it though. Honestly one of fears of posting anything I create online is that it might have already been done; or there is something remarkably similar to it floating around out there. Anyway, I'm going to keep playing with this design in the days to come; planning on making a few variations of it...

 ...not too sure what to make of these two; but I have played around with this concept regularly...

And another return....

...and I am back after....about ten months.... Darn distractions and lack of motivation...But I have been busy; I mostly edit my other blog/portfolio: http://www.restlessrender.blogspot.com/ mostly graphic design stuff though; Illustrator and Photoshop stuff. But I keep telling myself that I can't forget where I started from drawing and sketching; I mostly sketch these days, hardly do any finished drawings anymore. Well I can't neglect all (well some) sketches that I have done, so I'm gonna give them some kind of life on this blog.... Ok, I'm going start this comeback with a character I draw most of the time: Cynical Quack. I made him up 5 years ago; the colored version I created in 2006; the sketch I created 2008-2009. Cynical Quack will probably make more appearances on this blog in the future...
