I read about this Cowboy Action Shooting Club(CASC) in Lubbock the other day, and decided to check out one of their shootouts, and do some sketching and collect some reference while I was at it. It was a lot of fun and they were very gracious. Check out their site at www.purgatoryridgerr.com. Also, I’ve uploaded my photos to HERE and below are a few of the sketches I did.

By the way, that guy in orange is a REAL cowboy. His name’s Conagher. He’s awesome!

Found out about this group here in Lubbock that dresses up in authentic cowboy gear to shoot six-shooters at old west town style targets. Brandon and I are gonna check it out tomorrow and do some sketchen’. I did this quick sketch from one of the pictures in the paper about the group. Think it turned out pretty good.

I’ll post more if we get to sketch some tomorrow.

This is another one of the sketches I did at the bar last night.
But I decided to color it. This is way exaggerated, this bouncer guy wasn’t quite this hard core. But he was close enough that it was easy to go this way. Fun sketch.

I’ve been kind of lonely artistically lately. Missing my sketching friends in San Diego. Decided to go out tonight and draw some folks. Went to the bar with my girlfriend tonight and sketched the scenery. Been a while since I sketched people for fun. It was just that– fun! …and refreshing. I even got a bunch of free shots for Leigh, and my beer was paid for. Not bad. I did quite a few more sketches than this. But ended up giving most of them away. I think I’ll be doing more of this. It felt nice.

Someone asked me if I could post the B/w for that card art from yesterday. I was really happy with the pencils on this. Some of my best work. The original is about 5×7.
