Panorama’s from my bike (November 13, 2012)

I went biking with my friends Ted and Steve. We biked around downtown Cincinnati and rode across the purple people bridge to Newport. The first panorama is downtown Cincinnati and the second one is obviously on the Newport waterfront.

More Sketches (November 1, 2012)

When I go out on the weekends, I also sketch the people I see. This is a little trickier because they do notice when you stare at them. I usually have to be a little more clandestine. Of course, sometimes, I get caught and then the person comes up and wants to see your sketchbook. This can be somewhat embarrassing – especially when you are really caricaturing that person. It can become a pretty dicey situation and I do not want to offend anyone. Sometimes I even just make up features and add them on to increase their character quality. I use my artistic license liberally and draw them thinking that someday I may turn them into an animated cartoon character. Following are some of the characters that I have observed. (Please note that any resemblance to real persons, anyone you know or love, living or dead is purely coincidental.)
