John Brown (Detail) for the Lyric Opera of Kansas City. Some years ago, I was commissioned by my friend, AD Kevin Brimmer to create a series of illustrations for the entire season of the LOKC. Theater, drama, opera, the chance to work on a bit of hand lettering and design- count me in. 

Depending on who you talk to, John Brown was both famous and infamous. Credited or blamed with being the spark that set an already polarized nation into Civil War, Brown believed it was his divine providence to free the slaves imprisoned by their Southern slave-owners. 

His plan- to capture the Confederate armory at Harper’s Ferry so that he might arm slaves to overthrow their captors through the American South. As Brown likened himself to Moses, I chose to show him here in front of the burning (cotton) bush, as hands reach up for salvation.

Here’s another AmberSpyglass piece I worked on. My teacher keeps mentioning that I have issues w tones at times. He threw a multiply layer with a green gradient and painted out the highlights in the harpy face. I need to be ballsier I suppose~ #hisdarkmaterials #theamberspyglass #lyrasilvertongue #harpy #harpies #illustration #sterlinghundley #visualartpassage #digitalart #digitalillustration #procreate #maxpacksbrushes #maxpacks #philippullman #philippullman📘 #fanart (at Philadelphia, Pennsylvania) https://www.instagram.com/p/CE4K90RjF0I/?igshid=1fpgkfsl9nh1e

@VisualArtsPassage assignment: Illustrate “Blue.” This isn’t the piece I turned in, but it’s the one I wanted to. I’m a Blues fan. While sketching out ideas for this assignment, “Two Trains Runnin’” came on the PBS channel I had on in the background. It’s about two groups of young, white fans of the Blues, searching the backroads of Mississippi in the early ’60’s for Blues musicians Son House and Skip James. When I heard Mr. James falsetto singing “Devil Got My Woman” from the stage of the1964 Newport Folk Festival, I knew that’s what I wanted to paint. I wish I could have kept the energy of my sketches. On one there is a note to myself, “need more reference.” Not so much. It’s important, but, as @sterlinghundley says, “Don’t become a slave to the reference.” The piece loses energy, when we let the reference material overpower our vision. I’m making a sticky note for next time. It will say: • Think –– Create ––Respond –– Repeat (a version of another @sterlinghundley bit of wisdom) Mark-making needs to be on purpose, towards a predetermined goal, always keeping that goal in sight. Done right, the piece will speak back, and the outcome will reflect that dialogue between artist and artwork. Reference came from the documentary, from the scenes of the Newport Folk Festival. I believe the photographer was Dick Waterman, one of the Blues fans profiled in the documentary. Waterman was known for his photographs of Blues musicians. He went on to revive the careers of Son House and Skip James. He also went on to work with B.B. King, Buddy Guy, Bonnie Raitt, Taj Mahal, and Eric Clapton and became one of the most influential Blues promotors of the twentieth century. #blues #painting #art #artist #artistofInstagram #artistonInstagram #instaart #instaartist #mixedmedia https://www.instagram.com/p/B19utnCnIZI/?igshid=hn5wz9nu1gjv

Nearly 2 weeks ago I finished a 10 week course called Ideation Lab with @sterlinghundley via @svslearn. It’s an amazing course, and has completely changed the way I think about making art. I highly recommend it to anyone wanting to make their ideas stronger and develop a personal voice. This is a tiny part of an illustration that I did during the course that I now want to re-do. More progress shots to follow ... #wip #illustration #jellyfish #ideationlab #creative #svslearn #drawing #sketch #artwip #illo #ideas #development #pencildrawing #pencil #sketchoftheday

Documented Jason Butler Harner’s commencement speech from VCU this past weekend and worked back into it. He was kind enough to sign it in the bottom right corner. That was worked into the design, as well.

Jason is a VCU alumn and most recently acclaimed for his work on the Netflix series, Ozarks.

More from my sketchbook project.
