Paul Temple appeared in many formats: novels, comic strips, radio plays, films and a television series. Steve, Paul Temple’s wife, was played by a variety of actresses, but for facial similarity I think this strip drawn by John McNamara in December 1962 and Ros Drinkwater in the television series in 1970 come closest.

Inspired by the historic mines @ Cerrillos Hills State Park. Got this idea on my hike & couldn’t wait to go home to create it. The cactus on the edge of the mine gives me memento mori vibes 💀🌵

I’m trying to create visual & conceptual depth on paper w/o overcomplicating it. Since I’ve been drawing every day, my skills have improved a lot & it’s rly exciting to have an image like this pop into my head & be capable of bringing it to life.

Here's the finished piece of the bulldog. It's the smallest pet portrait I've attempted, and I'm pleased with the level of detail I could achieve. I'm hesitant to work any smaller than this though as I fear the details may be compromised.

I typically enjoy working with Canson Mi-Teintes paper for charcoal, but for this piece, I decided to experiment with pastelmat paper.
It posed some challenges, particularly in filling the tooth of the paper and also because I chose a white paper to work with for a dark subject, but I still enjoyed the process.

The reference photo of Emmi was graciously shared by my friend, Britta Feldmann, who is a cop by profession and a phenomenal photographer by passion.

Title: EMMI
Medium: Charcoal on Pastlemat
