You may be wondering what the deal is with those little banners up at the top of the page. Well, for this coming race season, I was picked to go fast for the good folks over at Twin 6 and will be on their METAL team. (and still racing for Ghostship as well). The T6 guys are a small (yet growing) cycling apparel company that's been carving an awesome niche in the cycling world. I remember going to Interbike a few years ago, meeting Ryan and Brent as they were just starting up the brand, and being stoked on what down-to-earth, cool, easy to talk to guys they are. It's awesome to see good folks doing well and growing each year. It's (at the very least) a nice gesture to do what I can to help promote those who are helping me out.
I'm really excited to get back out and race some more. Been logging mileage on the rollers to make sure I've got some sort of base to work with once the season hits. And drawing a bunch. Trying to stay on the art thing. I've got some art dropping in the next couple of days, so stay tuned. Learn more junk about me that you probably already know; and if you could give a crap, my first racing tip will make you faster/more annoying to your enemies.
-It's official. Now there's pressure to perform.

Dr Sketchy's - The Work
So here are some samples of the sketching I did at Dr Sketchy's the other night (as promised). Nothing too mind-blowing. Drawing from a model is always fun. Especially when there are friends joining in and a beer or two is available. Click for larger images...
-Blind contour drawing is a skill they force on you in art school. It involves you not removing your drawing implement until you're done, and not looking at the page til you're done. I think this is one of the better drawings I did that night. It even netted me some sort of prize (yet to be mailed to me).
-Shoulders rolled forward and viewing from the frontal plane is not an easy pose to capture (as evidenced by my weak sketch!)
-10min pose?
Put a little time in at the drawing table last week to put down some inks on a sketch I've been working on. Trying to figure out where to go with it from here...If and when I finish it, I'll be sure to post up the results.
