Kaimei Brush Pen Drawing Of One Of @thejpickens' White Deer Skull, Collected By His Dad In Alabama.

14 days left on my Kickstarter campaign but I'm not waiting. Work on the plate starts now: here I'm taking a tracing of the key drawing to transfer the image onto copper.

A little character sketch. This is drawn on a sumi-e pad with translucent paper, so that the next drawing in the sequence is faintly visible. sumi #sumibrush #drawing #painting #characters #portraits #illustration #gowanus #brooklyn #parkslope #artistcraftsmansupplyps

My copperplate engraving of Suki, a female gorilla in the Bronx Zoo.

An earlier study of the head of Sababu, executed during the summer.

And again.

This drawing falls somewhere between social commentary and the expulsion of demons. #illustration #drawing #painting #art #sumibrush #gowanus #faces #portraits #brooklyn

Nearing completion of the drawing I’ll use to produce a 35 ” x 55 ” engraving of Sababu, the black rhinoceros.
