From the Trenches

...to your face!

Thats right kid-o's! Hear real life harrowing tales from the art field as veteran artists, Mike Carlo, Al Pardo, Phil Rynda, some guy named Maudy Tuseth and yours truly, Rick Lacy, regale a crowd of thousands with bewitching stories of adventure and romance like none but a career in animation can conjur up!

We'll be answering questions and showcasing art stuffs and with a little luck find a new adventure forthwith to whet thine appetites!

Then I'll probably go drinking.

So this Thursday, February 21st at 7pm at SVA's main building on 23rd street (between 2nd and 3rd aves) come down and join the fun. Even if yur not an alumni or student of SVA...just tell'em Rick Lacy asked you to be here!

Look! Paprika is so excited she's dancing!

Sullen Eyed...

...and drenched in the spoils of war.


Hopefully some faint hearted young chaps (whom I refuse to mention) wont be offended by this drawing of the Cimmerian.

11x17. Pencil on tracing paper. The axe is a bit wonky and it feels too heavy at the blade. But i'll fix that in ink. I'll probably do another take on his face as well.

I've been drawing a lot on tracing paper lately. I really like the texture and the love affair it has with col-erase pencils. Its also very forgiving. I've been doing a lot of these pin-up drawings and hope to post up more as they get done. Mostly these are art fodder for my brush work. I plan on inking Labor Days with brush and ink-well, so i gotta keep my chops choppable.

Maybe i'll put this on e-Bay when its done. Or maybe I'll just send it to my mom.
