Pencil sketches by renowned artist Tom Phillips 

  
 

 

  
 

I've recently begun archiving and cataloging hundreds of pencil sketches drawn by my friend, Tom Phillips. I met Tom in 1974, and knew him until he passed away in 2005. Tom, who was part Chickasaw Indian, began as a commercial artist, and became a leading and well-known painter of Western Art, in addition to being an acclaimed Chickasaw artist. Most of the large-format pencil sketches that I have photographed so far were preliminary studies that Tom later painted in oil on canvas.
