Watch me draw?

 The other day, I took about 25 minutes to do a drawing of Popeye. It's a large 2 ft by 3 ft drawing. It is available for sale and if you're interested send me a message. I ate a little video of it. This is not real time! Halfway through the drawing my dumb marker ran out of ink so I had to scramble to get some ink and a couple brushes to finish the picture. I'm not sure if I'm going to color the picture or not. It's on very basic drawing paper, so any liquid is going to warp the paper, and I don't have large markers that would color a picture the size with good quality.

My Van Halen tribute series

I've been a die-hard Van Halen fan since middle school. I'm a fan of the original lineup and the VH mach-2. My preference was and still is Sammy Hagar. He was the frontman when I got into the band.

I was heartbroken in 1996 when Eddie fired Sammy. The band was never the same, but Sammy flourished! I've held a grudge against Eddie ever since.

However, when he passed away in 2020 I was crestfallen. My love of the band came flooding back, because now there will never be a Van Halen. A few months after his death (I was already in a deep depression before Eddie Van Halen's death and stopped making art for about 9 months total), I started my tribute series of the band. For the most part, my drawings and paintings depict all 4 members: Eddie, Sammy, Alex Van Halen and Michael Anthony. I focus on the lineup I grew up with (and I don't like David Lee Roth. His contribution to the success of the band can't hinder my distaste for his personality). 

I wanted to show each tour, whether they are performing or posing. I still have a few more I want to do.
