As an illustrator most of my time is spent drawing relatively cute and pretty pictures aimed to appease conservative publishers and appeal to a young market. Thus, my private sketchbook is a haven to unfetter my brain on paper... (If you are looking for my usual work in children's literature, check out my regular blog at http://benredlich.blogspot.com/)

BRAIN VOMIT

Here's an oil painting from late 2007:


This wasn't for anything in particular. Sometimes I get the urge to just do a spontaneous picture. I enjoy working like this, without a roadmap, because I start the picture with no preconceived idea as to what it might look like at the end — Typically I start with the eyes and it grows from there.

I wish I had time to do more like this, maybe get some prints made...
