Today, @stuartperlman and I took a time trip 56 million years back to La Brea Tar Pits to sketch a saber-tooth tiger. What a great museum! It was a blast to sketch in complete freedom. The visitors were awesome. A little 9 year old girl gave us a lecture on watercolor and materials and an Art Professor from New Mexico university gave me an A+. I passed! We had lunch at Canters where I stuffed myself with liver/pastrami and even tried out a slice of pickled pike.

One of California's most famous extinct residents. You can call one of these your own. Many people have been lucky enough to see the giant bones pulled from the La Brea Tar Pits or the statues outside the Page Museum. The Columbian Mammoth was one of the largest species of elephant to walk the Earth. 13 feet at the withers and weighing 10 tons with the most impressive tusks, it would have been a sight to behold.

9x12 Ink and Oils on Yupo Paper. This bad boy was finally dry enough to put on the scanner. The color glaze is added digitally in Photoshop because Indian Yellow Lake costs like $20 a tube. Swipe to see the original color too! How could I resist doing an oil study of the @labreatarpits_museumstore Dire Wolf skull collection? #oils #oilpanting #ink #skull #direwolf #labreatarpits #yupopaper #wolf #horrorart #horror https://www.instagram.com/p/B8OzF_vgaR9/?igshid=79itg5v6ye8e

Some animal sketches I liked during my time in CDA animal anatomy class class. Will always continue my study of animal anatomy.
