Good stuff, J. The Santa drawing is my favorite.

You didn't propose to your wife at Pemaquid point up in Maine did you?

It looks familiar to me... but I'm sure lights of light houses look like that.

That's some good stuff. I like how they're very detailed.

No, it was Gloucester, MA.
That lighthouse is actually owned by the coast guard. You might remember it from "A Perfect Storm". It's a GREAT area. Where that lighthouse is, is actually on a private area of Gloucester, but no one knows who "really" lives in the area, so if you drive a nice vehicle, no one will stop you from going in and viewing the multi million dollar homes. In fact, I went there so often that the "locals" thought I did live there. HAHA.

Yeah, I like that one too...but my favorite is the Beast. The reason why is cause it was the first / only drawing I have ever made that was perfect. Flawless. Every other drawing there are some mistakes, albeit small mistakes, but I know where they are. Beast is flawless.

I actually did a Gary Clark catching a ball over Deion Sanders in the endzone at RFK stadium...that took me about 10 hours to do, and I kid you not, some guy spilt coke all over it and ruined it. I was PISSED, but it was an accident.
Oddly enough, I haven't done a whole lot of Skins over the years, and I don't know why. Maybe I should get back to doing that.

I could not sell any Redskins because that would be against the law. I do not have rights to replicate or sell their images. I only have the right to make it for my own personal use. I would have to get permission from the NFL and NFLPA to draw a redskins player and use the redskins logo.

Nice drawings jsarno the Santa and Doug Flutie are great. My Dad is an artist for Disney an a few other studios but 85% of the work he does is for Disney. Try not to get discouraged about Disney not responding you have skill. My Dad always say's that becoming a good artist takes a lot of practice. It's not just something you’re born with. The more you draw the better you will get and one day you might get the opportunity to make a good living doing something you love. Here are a few of my personal favorites my Dad has done.

Wow...your dad did those? Those are very good, he's got some amazing talent.

lol...it's all about the practice.
When I was young, I could draw anything, but my shading sucked. The older I got the better the my shading got, and many people have told me that I have the best shading they have ever seen. It's all about the practice, and a keen eye to notice things.

I was one of the best artists in my class until about 7th grade when I pretty much stopped drawing. Except for an art class I took in college because I thought it would be an easy A. (I ended up with a B after doing a lot of extra credit.) My biggest problem growing up was having the patience. I remember building models with my dad as a kid and wanting to finish the whole thing before I went to bed. Where as my Dad would spend the whole afternoon just sanding the model down and detailing the cockpit. Needless to say you could have put my Dad’s models in a museum where mine were better suited for sitting atop of an M80. Witch is sadly what ended up happening to them on more then on occasion.
Drawing just wasn’t in the cards for me. But I defiantly have done enough of it to appreciate the talent of someone like you who can.

LOL...yeah...impatience is not good for an artist.

I have been trying to convince my wife to give me one of the bed rooms to turn into a mini city. I want to build buildings, and mountains, and take my hot wheels cars and use them as the scale models. She won't let me, but I am considering taking over part of the garage for it.
