Cheers for Every Man

   I've been sketching before I go into work. It helps me relax before facing he chaos. I used to look at something and draw it when I did my sketches, then I started drawing cartoon-ish people and faces. My sketching has now morphed into what I call "Every Man". It's a face with only three lines to represent the eyes, nose, and mouth. A little curve on the side for an ear and I've got a finished face. I've been practicing putting emotions on them and I'm happy with what I'm doing. I can whip out a face in under a minute and move on to the next one. My book is filled with page after page of face after face, often with the barest suggestion of a body. I brought the Man over into my paintings recently. I had a box full of stretched canvases that were 4"x2", always too small for me to do anything to until now. I found some that were already coated in paint, waiting seemingly in vain for me to do something with them. After finding a black and a white paint pen my "Every Man" series was born. I posted three of them on my Etsy store ( link) and they were all sold in less than 24hrs. I've posted more in hopes of supplying art to my fans that can't afford a bigger piece. Whether I sell any more or not is beside the point. I just enjoy creating.
