"He kept a shop in London town...

...of fancy clients and good renown. And what if none of their souls were saved? They went to their maker impeccably shaved.

" His skin was pale, and his eye was odd....

...He shaved the faces of gentlemen who never thereafter were heard of again. He trod a path that few have trod, did Sweeney Todd, the demon barber of Fleet street."

Mrs. Lovett

Here she is in color. I hope you all like it.

Don't eat the Meat Pies!!!!

I have always wanted to illustrate a version of "Sweeney Todd, The Demon Barber of Fleet Street". With the hiatus from school and my newest set of stamps for Disney finished, I gave it a go.

Here is one of my character designs for his partner in crime, Mrs. Lovett. By the way...If you don't know what's in her lovely pies.....You will have to find out!

I will be doing these in color as well.

Further drawings from Florence

The wonderful part about being there this year was I knew where to go and how to get around real easily. I also knew where the best material would be.

Italy once more

The guy on the bottom was flipping through postcards.

The woman with the purple tank top was sitting in the Rivoire cafe with her husband. He noticed me painting her and came over to see it. He started to scream to his wife, "Cest tois! Cest tois! Cest tois!" It was very funny .

She was not amused.

More from Italy

Here are some more.

I would either sit in a cafe or in a square and just observe. One of my favorite places is the Piazza Della Signoria. I would sit below the famous Cellini statue of Perseus holding the head of Medusa and draw the people looking up . More to come.

Back from Italy!

I just got back from Italy the other day (I was there for a month- hence no postings!) and here are some of the drawings I did while I was there. I have lots more and they will be posted soon, just thought I would get some up now. Glad to be back home.
