Hello, my name is Duncan Weller,
and I'm a doodle addict. Thunder Bay, Ontario, Canada

I am a writer and visual artist specializing in children's books and adult fiction. I show my visual art regularly and make my living as full time artist. Sketching and drawing are a crucial part of my job.

I specialize in book design, cartooning, illustration, painting, pencil drawing, phtography, publishing, storyboards, writing.

This was inspired by driftwood and a bit of a fantasy landscape Idea.

Chalk pastels on paper

A friend's children painted a canvas I gave them and I painted them into it. The fun messy doodle background is 90% theirs. I added a few streams to pop out some of the shapes they painted. I might do this as a series.

A fun pen and ink piece. I love working with pathways, routes and places that might take your imagination away.

I love doing pen work. Might do an entire children's book in this style. Maybe faded colours.

This is the centre section of a cartoon I did back in my university days for the student newspaper. It was fun to do, but took a lot of time. I hope to put it into a collection of comics.

When I lived in Victoria, B.C. I ran a figure drawing session for the local illustrator's society. Often I would head over to other drawing sessions. This is one run by a local gallery.

A drawing I did a while ago for a portfolio.

Done mostly with oil bar, this is more akin to a sketch than a painting. It's great when you can get loose with the process and end up with something that looks like a finished work.

Chandra was a wonderful model who posed for me in North Vancouver years ago.

I'm hoping to finish off this children's book this year. It's a lot of work. Too many illustrations - so many the printing cost will jump, so I might have to find a publisher for this one, rather than self-publish. This is acrylic on paper.
