Today’s Guest Draw is K.J. McCormick from Ghost Hunters, SyFy! He agreed to be a Guest Draw and has proved to be one of the more gracious Guest Draws yet!
It’s always fun to work with someone who has a good sense of humor, topping off a cool personality. It just makes them easier to draw.
When I do a Guest Draw, it’s not about the visual aspect as much as it is the personality. I look to capture the body language and aura of the individual. Sometimes I’m not privy to that information having not seen them in action, so it becomes a crap-shoot. I have to hope I get the inflections right.
You can tell by my work that I’m not a traditional caricature artist. My works is closer to the simplicity of Schultz’s Peanuts. What I want to portray is expression and feeling more than an accurate depiction of one’s physical appearance. I want the reader to know who they are. After all, we are more than just our bodies.
That is some of the science behind the Guest Draw and much of my other work.
Off-the-Cuff Culinary Investigation
I’ve been a little blog dormant since I’ve been busy… I also took Friday and Saturday off to attend my spouse’s Alumni reunion at the Culinary Institute of America in Hyde Park.
Some of you might know the place is supposed to be haunted by a Jesuit priest (the place was originally a seminary). Ghost hunter that I am, I couldn’t pass up the opportunity to wear the batteries down on my digital voice recorder.
I ran it throughout the tour. It was a noisey time to seek EVPs, but I was willing to carefully sift to see if anyone ELSE joined us. The following day, I struck out on my own to get close to the attic where the spirit is supposed to reside. While I could not get past the locked door, I did do a session outside of it.
There seems to be an energy there. I could sense that psychic pressure even as I began to mount the stairs. In the coming days, I’ll peruse the evidence. We’ll see!
I do not advise going out in the public without permission. I was on the Culinary campus as a guest and was given free rein to roam. I did not cross any lines or break into any places that were not publicly accessible. – Just so ya know…
Anywho… Eat Cookies, Hunt Ghosts!
