So this dude i know named chuck is the one who planted the idea in my head that i should start to post in progress work on a blog.  Well, here for the very first time is my in-progress rough pencils for a piece i am workin on right now.  its only a small bit of it, but its all that would fit in my scanner…and well, i just dont feel to photoshop stichy right now.

Its a portrait of Ben Bridswell who is…for the most part anyway, Band of Horses.  This guys tunes have been responsible for getting me through the high times, the low times, and all the other time in between. I am pretty amped on the pencils so far…but goddamn! horses are such a pan in the ass to draw in profile…they look like these weird archaic skulls with little bits of fabric streched over them.  I will post the inks as soon as i finish them.
