[Funny cartoon self-portrait](http://www.geocities.com/argenttowers/cellphone2.JPG) from summer of 2005. Inspired by a (quite true) revelation I had. I still have the argyle vest in that portrait. [Pizza Chef](http://www.geocities.com/argenttowers/chef.JPG) - NOT safe for work. I drew this for a planned campaign of slander against a local pizza joint (whose breadsticks we thought tasted like piss) cooked up by my friends and I on one smoky summer night. The activism never got off the ground. [The Garbagemen.](https://oncourse.iu.edu/access/content/user/akentisa/Filemanager_Public_Files/garbage.jpg) Still haven’t finished this one and it’s been almost three years. [Drew this in class a year ago or so.](https://oncourse.iu.edu/access/content/user/akentisa/Filemanager_Public_Files/coniglio.jpg) What exactly is being depicted can be up to your imagination. My most recent work - [Portrait of Sir James Scudamore](https://oncourse.iu.edu/access/content/user/akentisa/Filemanager_Public_Files/scudamorepainting.jpg) (who was a real person and supposedly the basis for a character in _The Faerie Queene._) I drew that in June after seeing his suit of armor up close at the Metropolian Museum of Art in New York; it was done with pen and Crayola colored pencils - I also tweaked it a little with Photoshop. ---

Wow. Lot’s of cool stuff here. I especially like Malleus’ alebaster snake thingy. ISn’t alebast very expensive? Myself, I’m not much of a painter, but I can churn out a decent photograph.

[Here are a bunch of my charcoal sketches](http://picasaweb.google.com/ToddAYarbrough/CharcoalSketches#), in roughly chronological order. I mention the order because you can see I’m working on a new technique, wherein I try to draw as little of the subject as possible and still get the idea across. Damn, I need to start sketching weekly again. ---

> [@Aghris](#): > > Wow. Lot’s of cool stuff here. I especially like Malleus’ alebaster snake thingy. Isn’t alebast very expensive? I don’t know the relative prices of stones, but it’s a few dollars per pound (depending on the color and quality). Since I’ve only ever bought two stones total (I’m working on a stretching cat right now), it’s not a big deal. I guess it adds up if you sculpt for a hobby, though. ---

Really, really lovely stuff. I’ve wanted to move away from 2D to 3D work for-fricken-ever, but I have a following doing what I’m currently doing (plus a zillion other reasons not to).
