New Things

Jordan — Mon, 28 Nov 2011 18:12:21 +0000

Well, I haven’t updated this site for some time, mainly because our little family has made the move from Bowling Green to the (comparatively) big city of Louisville. It’s been a whirlwind, but we made it and we’re thankful to everyone who helped along the way.

My sketch book has been a bit neglected of late also. No longer! With Christmas on it’s way I’m working on a new set of prints to add to the Heartwares shop.

To prove I’m actually doing work here’s a peek at some rough sketches.

Escapism

Jordan — Sat, 23 Jul 2011 18:17:27 +0000

“Fantasy is escapist, and that is its glory. If a soldier is imprisioned by the enemy, don’t we consider it his duty to escape?. . .If we value the freedom of mind and soul, if we’re partisans of liberty, then it’s our plain duty to escape, and to take as many people with us as we can!”

— J.R.R. Tolkien

Get Low

So I totally missed this movie when it came out in 2009, but it’s definitely my favorite film I’ve watched this year. I especially liked Bill Murray as Frank Quinn, so here’s a little homage from my sketchbook. I loved the Jerry Douglas composed soundtrack as well.

The Dullard

Today I stumbled upon a piece of chipboard that was begging to be scribbled on. For whatever reason this image came to mind. Perhaps it will find it’s way onto some Heartwares products soon. (In case you were wondering.)

A Good Friend

I’ve been looking back though old sketches again. Here’s a drawing I did a year or so ago of a good friend, now gone and dearly missed.

Caveat

Whilst You Watched.

I sketched this little portrait of my wife awhile back and thought I’d post it here. Better that than letting it disappear forever into my sketchbook.

A cowboy

Jordan — Mon, 06 Jun 2011 15:45:58 +0000

So lately I’ve been really inspired by Charles M Russell’s paintings of cowboys. They’ve got this great sense of movement and nostalgic quality about them that I really admire.

So in tribute, I’ve decided to do some cowboys of my own. Here’s my first one.
