the snake lady - 100 drawings in 100 days

i'm still in a mad rush to get all the drawings scanned, and uploaded onto my website, still having some issues with all of the devices, so... this will have to be brief.

after watching "carnivale" about 78 times, i think i know all the lines that each actor has, but i just love the imagery, and the characters. one of them is a snake charmer, and her arms and back are covered in snake tattoos which i find visually intriguing, but the snakes are pretty wild too!

i once was drawn by a tattoo artist, whilst i had two baby albino pythons wrapped around each arm - it was oddly enough a very thrilling experience!

this drawing is called "the snake charmer".

circus girl - 100 drawings in 100 days

well, you know you don't have many friends when you rely on the people in DVDs to be your models! no, i do have friends but not many of them can afford the time or would want to sit still and be bored for 30 minutes?

this is a girl who plays 'sophie' in "carnivale", the HBO series. i just love that show, and i find myself playing it over and over again. mind you, i don't own a TV, so i actually find that i get a lot done around my place, whether it's artwork or housework.

i have drawn my favorite moon/sun in the top, as i have done for years in a lot of my paintings. it stems from my days as an astrophysics major with a wicked telescope binocular set! i could never decide which was more fun to observe through them: the sun or the moon. both were fascinating!

anyway, this is along the lines of the new series of paintings i am working on, and i have called this one, "circus girl".
