A man of many talents you are, Stef! Always a delight to see! Very nicely done!

Thanks for the comments you left for me on my last sketches, very much appreciated! You are one of those who make gesture drawing look effortless! Thanks for the inspiration and continue to do so!

Au revoir, a bientot....or something like that.....

I like gouache paintings, this one is really nice, and lovely color scheme. I like your 'Sculpts' too, they are wonderful.

hi stef - just had my first look at your blog - great stuff - particularly like the pencil pony sketch and the colours in this pic are great - reminiscent of those old railway posters.

Hi Stef!

This does have a faded enamel sign feeling... good atmosphere! Your Grandad must have been a fine character!

Great sketch man. Love the push of mediums and the drop shadow the middle value of the board. Very fun and in the vein of "Visual Development."
