Visiting the Illustration Academy

I am in Kansas City this week, helping out as a guest instructor at The Illustration Academy. This year's workshop is being held in the brand new Art Department studio space on the fifth floor of an old factory building. Holy cow, I don't think I've ever seen a more beautiful/amazing/perfect studio space. 10,000 square feet with panoramic city view windows spanning three sides and a light controlled area on the other side for projecting classes, shooting reference, etc. There's also a full kitchen, break room, office, flat file storage room... *swoon Just take a look for yourself.

Sterling Hundley is here along with George Pratt, Mark & John English. CF Payne arrives tomorrow. I'll post more pictures of happenings throughout the week!

Oil Portrait

It's been... too long since I did a traditional alla prima oil portrait. The model that was scheduled for tonight got a flat tire, so Orlando was kind enough to pose. It's fun to muck around in oil paint again! Although, I see a lot that I would change. About 3 hours.
