TB Artist's "Club" (large image alert)

This isn't really a club, per say. It's more of a "post some of the artwork you've created" thread. I'm not gonna hand out numbers, because I'll never keep up with it. However, if you really want numbers, then by all means, give yourself a number.

So here's some of my more recent stuff - I work in all sorts of mediums, but these are all pencil and charcoal, as that's what I've been focusing on. I do have a couple paintings in the work, and starting a mural for my buddy's pizza place at the beginning of the new year. Also, I've been drawing mostly music related stuff...

Peter Gabriel, from the cover of his third self titled album.

Leland Sklar. You should all know this guy, as I'm pretty sure I'm on some sort of bass guitar forum. Weird, huh? :hiding:

David Bowie, from the Aladdin Sane album.

Henry Rollins (Singer - Black Flag, Rollins Band, author, poet, all around hardcore pioneer).

Ulver, a Norwegian band that was black metal for about 3 1/2 days, before morphing into a really cool ambient electronic outfit.

Frank Zappa. Another man who shouldn't need any explanation.

I'll come back and post more stuff periodically, as I encourage you to do the same, along with questions, comments, constructive criticism, etc.
 
I've been VERY inactive the past two years since my work/home duties doubled after my wife became very ill, but prior to that, I "lived" off of being a painter. I've been trying to get some holiday pastels done to go up for sale- they're the medium I work fastest in, and I'm still about 4 weeks behind schedule on those.
Here's a couple oils:

...Wow. They're amazing. Are you a professional artist?
 
Great work.

I don't really consider myself an artist, but I used to draw a lot when I was a kid. Last year picked up a pencil and paper to sell some drawings on ebay - which I did. :) I don't really have fun drawing though, and I can't say I was making a killing, so I haven't done anything since. Here's what came of my first shot at drawing in about 30 yrs.

thank you! Not professional, just do it as a hobby. I do some freelance work though-have sold a few of my work. I have been drawing since I was a little girl, but really got into it more in jr high.
I was hoping to get some assignments before Christmas for Christmas money, but regardless of my cheap charge ($30-40) nobody wanted me to draw. Well, my bff asked me Wed.to work on one...

Thanks. That's the majority of the kinds of paintings I do- groups in interiors. I've actually sold a lot of them before I had a digital camera to take photos of them, which is something I really regret now.
