Another drawing of Saint Lucy, this time a flying mermaid also makes an appearance. I’m not sure why now. Available in the gift shop here.

Saint Lucy (1999)
Saint Lucy, from my 1999 Sketchbook. Available in the gift shop here.
Saint Lucy is a Christian saint (whose name comes from the Latin Lux, for light; she is the patron saint of blind people) who spurned her suitors and consecrated her virginity to God. In one version of the story, her would-be husband tortured her and took her eyes out with a fork; in another version her suitor admired her eyes, so she pulled them out and told him to leave her to God. She is usually depicted holding a pair of eyes on a platter.

What is youse lookin’ at (1995)
This caricature was inspired by a rather tough-looking (but a sweetheart really) friend from Scotland. For the drawing, I gave him a different accent.
Visitation by a Devil (1995)
Another colored drawing inspired by a dream, circa 1995.
Self portrait in color (1995)
Here is one of the few drawings from my 1995 sketchbook that I colored with pencils. I was experimenting with building up many layers of different colors in the background, which is a technique I still use today in drawings and paintings. And yes, I do feel at times so conflicted that I wonder about having a split personality. In this drawing, it looks more like a parasitic twin. Available in the gift shop here.
Self portrait (1995)
I did a lot of cartoonish drawings of myself this year. This one is a little bit more “realistic” and is the only one that depicts some of my tattoos (the little squiggle on my hip below the belly button is a praying mantis tattoo). Available in the gift shop here.
Self portrait (1995)
Another self-portrait drawing from my 1995 sketchbook. Wish I was that thin now. Available in the gift shop here.
Lunch (1995)
I drew this on a day in 1995 when I felt like I’d been eaten for lunch. Available in the gift shop here.
