Nesting Doll Lighthouse Ink Drawing

I heard a sermon at church where the pastor mentioned Nesting Dolls. The church meets under the Saint Augustine Lighthouse. I decided to put the two images together in this drawing. It's ink and white pencil on 5"x7" gray paper. Email bryancollinsart@gmail.com to purchase ~ $50 shipped in the USA.

Guy with an Oar ink drawing

Ever since getting a couple of mid-toned sketchbooks I've been bitten by the ink bug. I used to draw almost exclusively in ink back when I first started to fall in love with drawing, so it's been nice and nostalgic to get back into it. With this drawing I wanted to play around a little with proportions and used the opportunity to also try out some texture ideas in the guy's cap and neck warmer. If you would like to add this original drawing to your collection, it is available in my online shop along with lots of other originals, prints, and more at http://www.bryancollins.etsy.com

Glory Ink Drawing

No matter how long I've been out of tattooing, the influences of tattoo-styled art have marked themselves in my blood. I have permanent memories of my apprenticeship in a parlor surrounded by countless flash drawings of anchors, dragons, skulls, lightening bolts, and women with 50's style hair. I'm very fond of these memories, because it was during this period in my life that I began to connect with other artists and found a kinship with those who made art with no "formal" training, and just taught themselves to draw because they loved it.

This drawing, simply called Glory, features some of this imagery. I did it with archival ink and white pencil on gray paper. The original has been listed in my shop HERE.
