Using more staining watercolour paints, I was able to glaze a couple layers over the first layer to make for a neat effect.

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

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.

Another little practice run - drawings from my head with no sketching beforehand. A bit risky, but results can astonish.

Kat is one of my favourite models. She has the most beautiful faces, full of character. Even when sitting between poses, as featured here, she has the most commanding look.

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 doodle. Sometimes it's great to have no focus and just play around.

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.

This is a drawing for a poetry book. Sometimes I do the drawing first and then write the poetry.

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.

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

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

This is a little practice run with faces, all drawn from my head without sketching in pencil first.

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

Portrait of an imaginary robot woman. And attempt to use up old markers and short pencil crayons - whatever I've got left.

A drawing I did a while ago for a portfolio.

Chalk pastels on paper

Just fun crazy doodling.

Stream of consciousness portrait. Just for fun and... to use of old markers and pens that have been lying around forever. In other words, getting rid of old materials.

Instead of a sketchbook I draw - doodle - on a table top sized sheet of 100lb paper. This allows me to cross-pollinate visual ideas more easily.
