We were asked to show more sequential work so here goes. This is an oil painting done in the style of a squential comic or graphic novel page. Its about one man and his fear and phobias. below are two splash pages . The final is colored in photoshop on the first set. The second set is in photo shop but was done more like a paining in photoshop

Here are some more sketches. They are from my life drawing book. We have here an interior shot of saint Patric's done in pen, and two outdoor sketches. the first one is from central park , and the second is of a little church in Wantagh Long island . The two interiors are done in pen and markers.

OK here are some sketches right out of my books. The line drawing are a lot of fun to do and are done from life. I usually draw like this when i am in a room with a lot of people there is so much going on, so why not draw a little bit of everything.

these are two sketches done in water soluble oil paint. There the first time i used the water oil paints, its was an interesting experience because i just used water as my medium. It was a lot like painting with turpenoid only less tacky and more controllable.

Ok while the studioGerlich website is under constructuction we'll be working off the internet on blogger. We'll try to update as much as possable. Mostly sketches will be put up and some finishes. All work by Michael Gerlich unless noted.
