Here's an exclusive sneak-peek at a rough draft vs. final draft comparison, showing how certain details or features are omitted or added along the way. The sketches were first made in mid-2023, while the finished drawings were done in early 2024. The latter were included as part of recent group show in New York, featuring monchromatic drawings.
I pretty rarely move linearly from an inked rough draft to a final draft. Usually I'll just sketch out an idea on newsprint, and then come back to it later when it feels like it's time to give it the proper treatment on some good toothy paper. "Later" could mean some months, a year, or several years. The first piece is entitled "Trifocal Beakbundt"; the second, "Mandorla Nymfaeum."
You can find more examples of my artwork on my artist website and Instagram page.

((I'm building Cecil's house/workshop! Character art is nice and all, but isometric buildings are what I have the most fun with. Now all I gotta do is color it in and put some background in there.
This was made in Adobe Illustrator and is thus a vector art piece. Here's the wireframe:
This took me about 3 weeks and I'm super proud of it so far!))

FDR the Art Collector
This undated sketchbook contains watercolors and pencil drawings by Alexander Jackson Davis (1803-1892), one of the most prominent American architects of the nineteenth century.
Davis began his career in New York illustrating various buildings in the northeastern United States. In 1829, he started his first architectural firm, Town & Davis, with partner Ithiel Town, and then later opened his own firm. As one of the most prolific American architects of the nineteenth century, Davis designed buildings all over the US, including government buildings, commercial buildings, churches, and private homes. He favored Gothic Revival, Greek Revival, and Italianate styles. He also designed interior elements and even furniture.
Franklin D. Roosevelt purchased the sketchbook in February 1942—two months after Pearl Harbor and amid some of the darkest weeks of World War II.
This acquisition illustrates two important things about Franklin Roosevelt. He had an extraordinary ability to compartmentalize his life���using hobbies and personal interests to help himself manage the many stresses of the presidency. And he had an abiding love of and interest in the history, landscape, and culture of the Hudson River Valley.
Shortly after purchasing the Davis sketchbook, FDR shipped it to his distant cousin, Margaret “Daisy” Suckley, an archivist at the Roosevelt Library, to be added to his collection of Hudson River Valley art and artifacts. “I bought this several days ago,” he wrote Suckley, “and it should go to the Dutchess County collection as a loan. Some of the watercolors are really lovely.”
See more sketches by Davis on our Digital Artifact Collection: https://fdr.artifacts.archives.gov/objects/1944
Join us throughout 2023 as we present #FDRtheCollector, featuring artifacts personally collected, purchased, or retained by Franklin Roosevelt, all from our Digital Artifact Collection.

Ditlev Martens (July 26, 1795 - 1864) was a German-born Danish painter who studied at the Academy in Copenhagen under Eckersberg and received a Royal Stipend from the Danish King. He spent time in Rome with Thorvaldsen and later settled in Hamburg. When his studio there burned down he relocated to Copenhagen.
Martens was chiefly an architecture painter and the accuracy of his works has helped reconstructing and restoring several historical buildings in Denmark.

The evolution of an idea, which first came to me over a year ago while looking at a melted candle. The third image is among my most recently finished drawings, with the addition of some watercolor for the green and red portions. One of the primary roles of art is the perception of analogy, and the creation of new associations between otherwise disparate things: here, a sunken candle which becomes a sort of sheath for a fungal-columnar growth.
You can follow the progress of my work on Instagram, if you aren't already, where I typically post once a week or so.
