DRAWING GALLERY
Prior to 1994, I drew almost exclusively with a drafting pencil and a straightedge. From then on, I've draw almost exclusively with charcoal. This change marked my interest in the practices of traditional fine art. In 1999, I began studying drawing under maestro and painter extrodinaire, Mr. Joe Biel. The images are arranged in chronological order beginning with the most recent and going back from there.
