Heres some pigeons, painted. No real pigeons we're beaned to make these paintings. I thought they were fun. I probably won't do a hundred.

Dex portrait
It's hardest to draw the ones you love. This is a Christmas present I did for Jen, my wife. It is Dexter, our son. She took the photo it was based on.

Bunny
You know when a song gets stuck in your head and you have to listen to it to get it unstuck? Sometimes an image is like that. I drew this a long time ago and it wouldn't go away. Now it's done.

Two sided painting, 3 little paintings in as many days. That's gotta be a record for me.

Spidey Mini-painting
Here's a Spidey I did 'cause my 3 year old asked me to. I can't throw stuff away. There is all kind of junk in my place to paint on. This was painted on red oak nubs leftover from when I built shelves for spices. It measure 2 1/4" x 3".
Green Goblin Mini-painting
He needed a bad guy tou fight with his Spidey painting so I did this. It measures 3" x 3".

"Air", acrylic on board 2011
I only have, like, 10 cutting boards left. I like the weight and feel of the finished work. I'm as concerned with the presentation as the image itself. I bought a bunch of cutting boards and have been working through them slowly. This one might be the first in a series. I think I'm a folk artist(?)!
"Owl", acrylic on board 2011
I wanted an actual hand painted version of my owl. I now have one. I love art objects. My digital prints just don't give me the same satisfaction.

Happy holidays, Jason

100 pigeons
While the drawings don't seem very complex, I must explain that I am the king of excuses when it come to not finishing a project. I am desperate to change. So, for me, this is huge.

Yolked.
Apparently I'm in the midst of a portrait phase. I had such lofty hopes when i started to to paint today. For some reason I liked the idea of a cute character with huge arms.

Stu.
Stu., a photo by Jason Dryg on Flickr.
I love Ed Helms and his character Stu, from "The Hangover". This painting is Stu from part 2, the only sequel I've been excited about in a long time.

The Spectators.
Finished version of an earlier post. I'll get a better pic soon. And I think I have the perfect frame in storage. Based on all the years since art school, this has been the most productive for sure.

The Spectators
Here is a little drawing I've been working on. I am building the drawing around the idea of the fish smoothie that came up in a conversation with my 3 year old son. He likes smoothies.

John.
While I think the likeness is okay, today's drawing/collage lacks the spontaneity of yesterday's. It seems forced. But hey, 2 days in a row.

Vince.
I like Vince Guaraldi. I was not at home and decided to use the materials I could find at the office, sorry Rusty (my boss). Anywho, this is what happened.

Ghost Rider Bunny
Here's one. My 30 for 30 drawing challenge is officially a failure. However, I did draw a lot and am confident next month will be better. It was the "finished" aspect that tripped me up.

Clicking his heels.
The 30 drawings in 30 days challenge is not
going as well as I had hoped. I figured I would sit down an draw and every session would result in a drawing. This is not how it is playing out. I am drawing everyday though and that is great.

Leapfrog Pigs
I am doing at least a drawing a day for April and here's drawing #2, I drew the first full idea i had, unedited. I don't know why this was the first thing I thought of.

A Flaming Skull
This is gonna be a fun show. A bunch of us donated work to help a friend and fellow artist get his tooth fixed. The show is called "Root Canal". All of the members of Local 303 have donated work, even though I didn't make the flier. Our good friend Leef has donated the gallery at his shop, Mission: Comics & Art, and there is a reception on Thursday, 4-7-11, starting at 7:00 pm.
Come by and get some art and comics.

Where are the Wild Things?
For the month of April, I have decided to complete a drawing a day for the entire month. I think it's more about discipline than the quality or complexity of the drawing itself. Discipline is my greatest weakness. I feel I need improve and a challenge on public record seemed like a good way to wage war on one weakness with another, pride. Just joshing, sort of. I hope to post daily. If you are interested in buying a piece, Let me know.

Ed
This was a painting based on a drawing I did at our annual "Not Camping Trip". His name is Ed. I have no name for the duck. The exercise was to limit my palette. Working in Illustrator, I've gotten lazy. Illustrator allows you to add a different color whenever you want. I tend to let this freedom complicate my images. By limiting color I hope to learn a cleaner and more economical design style I can apply to t-shirt design. That's where the money's at!
