Hi friends,
As you all know, I am a Freddie Mercury freak!  I raise money for the Mercury Phoenix Trust from time-to-time and this year in celebration of Freddie For A Day, I am again raising money.  This year I am auctioning off Freddie drawings.  One of the drawings up for auction is a charcoal I did of Freddie last year when I was just beginning to get back into drawing again.  I haven't done much since then as I have no time.  The other 2 drawings were done by my friend Dave Van Vlerah.  Please check out the auction and pass along the link to anyone you think would like to own a Freddie Mercury drawing while giving to a great cause at the same time!  Signing up is easy.  The auction begins on 1 September at 6pm EST. and runs until 9pm on 5 September (Freddie's birthday).   www.32auctions.com/freddieart

Any constructive criticism regarding the auction and my idea of auctioning off art for charity would be greatly appreciated.  This is my first auction, so I will be trying to learn and perfect it for future fundraising.

Also, I want to solicit artwork from other artists for the next auction.  If anyone is interested, please let me know.

Hope you all have a Freddielightful evening!

I'm focusing on practices for the most part since I am so new again to all this art.  If anyone has any practices they do to develop their skills, I'd like to know what things you are doing and how it helps you to draw better.

About 2 months (early June) ago I decided to pick up pencil and paper again after years and years of neglecting art.  I did my first charcoal drawing of Freddie a few days ago.  I have a long way to go to develop my old skills, but I am determined to keep working at it until I can produce beautiful drawings and paintings of Freddie.  When I was younger and in college, my major was art and I was planning on getting a degree, but I never finished my art degree and ended up taking music and computer programming.  I neglected my art and never got my degree.  Now, at almost 51, I am wanting to go back in time and live out my dream of being an artist.
