Woody's "Art" Gallery

This is a collection of drawings and paintings I've done over the years. Not all of them are finished.

I drew this for my beautiful and loving wife.

I was playing with some cool features of a video capture card in 1994, and came up with this. I finally got around to putting it up.

I cropped my eye from a photograph, and performed various transformations on it. I've collected some of them on one page, which makes them look a little Warhol-like. You can see by clicking the image. (January 1997)

I drew this candle when I was toying with a paint program in mid-1996. It looks interesting, so I've kept it and I'm placing it in this collection.

This is a self-portrait I drew in late 1996.

I was angry one day and took my frustrations out on a paint program. This is the result.

This one is just a doodle, something like the one below... only a little less random.

I just sat down and started doodling... this is what came out. Think of it as brain drool.

My daughter likes Wallace and Gromit, so I drew a picture of Gromit for her.

I drew this in 1995. I originally drew something very similar several years before, but it was lost when I tried to have it scanned, so I recreated it in a paint program.

This one was heavily damaged by jpeg compression, so I touched it up after scanning it. It's pretty close to the original now. It's probably from 1989 or 1990.

I drew this in 1990 or 1991. I pulled a page from a magazine, ripped it up, and drew it (I chose this particular page because I liked the lighting and simplicity, but you're welcome to assign a deeper meaning). The idea of drawing a torn up page was not my own, unfortunately. It was an assignment in an art class.

I had an eyeball fixation. This one is old. (Unfinished.)

I took a figure drawing class so I could stop drawing decapitated/floating heads. I improved enough that I'm willing to show some of my work. I didn't finish drawing the model before he changed positions. I was avoiding his feet -- feet are tough. Maybe I should take a foot drawing class next. (Unfinished.)

This is also from the figure drawing class. The model for both of these was Sam Hart. (Unfinished.)

This one was turning out well, but I was drawing it from a borrowed book which I had to return. (Unfinished.)

I drew this in my figure drawing class too. I was having a tough time drawing her body (probably because I was sexually repressed), so I just drew her face. Between her lack of a body and Sam's missing feet, I'm noticing a disturbing pattern.

I don't remember when I drew this. I think it was 1988 or 1989. I really just intended to draw my hand as practice, but it looked good so I tried to turn it into a finished drawing. I scanned it crooked. (as you can see on the horizon).

This is supposed to be Winston Churchill. I drew this while I was taking the figure drawing class. I'm not quite satisfied with the way it turned out (it's skewed because I didn't account for the perspective of the paper), but I think it's worth showing.

I drew this in Jr. High. I thought monsters were "cool". Even monsters with goofy teeth and no tongues, apparently.

There's not much to say about this one. It's just a doodle.

This is just another doodle. It was drawn on a very small piece of paper, so it's a little blurry. (It's hard to draw detail that small.)

Bodies are tricky to draw (people tend to notice the arms hanging down to the ankles), so I've drawn a lot of heads without bodies. This one is from around 1990 (I think). I neglected to sign and date it (like many of the others).

This is what happened when I smashed my face against a flatbed scanner and moved around. Jamie Zawinski has a cool looking face scan on his page, along with a lot of other entertaining stuff.

I did this at work (it beats a nervous breakdown). I was writing video capture software at the time, so I captured it.
