Every year I forget what an amazing group of people this is, and what an inspiring event the convention is... and then I go and am reminded in a big way. So many friends and so much inspiration. It's an injection that lasts 10 months, and this past week in Sandusky, OH was no exception. Over 250 people gathering, drawing thousands of caricatures and paintings, sculptures and other art. I cannot recommend this group gathering enough to an artist even remotely interested in art of the figure and face.
Here are a few of the pieces I completed over the course of 3 days. I don't have good photos of all the drawings, but I am most interested in painting, and these were sort of a milestone for me. The photos aren't all that great, and I'll get more of them soon:

This is a cool cat Canadian who makes this face all the time (10"x10", acrylic).
Illustrator Ed Steckley is one of my best friends... and he wears these boots (10"x10", acrylic).

Love the sense of form, color relationships, and compositions. But more then anything I love the sense of character in each.
