Junkyard Sam's Uploads

I'll tell you what's up... It's your hot lovah in a teacup. With a tattoo on his thigh because he's the kinda guy who will love you 'til the sun's up.

Have no fear! I haven't lost my head- I have it right here. And my neck has a hole where you can pour the beer. So do me a favor, dear. Pour it in with a cheer.

​Sketching for a new illustration with my Osprey Pens Milano fountain pen.

This was my first drawing for the Graham's Up the Tree book. I used my most trusted pen: Metal Pilot Falcon, Soft Extra Fine.

"Her cricket kids traipse in to wash their hands." Cricket is a popular bat-and-ball game in Australia where the winning team gets to eat crickets at the end of a match.

"Billy gets there last, wiggles up a spot..." from the Graham's Up the Tree book. I grew to love these kids after drawing them so much. They sort of became real to me.

Looking out at that crazy Graham up in the tree!

Horse Block. Inked with a Pilot Custom 823 FA. (Bonus detail from a 3776 Century UEF.)

Happy people in my life. Precisely just what they look like. They smile big and some wear hats. They hatched from eggs all laid by cats.

Graham's Up the Tree! ("and there's nowhere else he can go!") - my 4 year old ran around the house for weeks misquoting the story with his own interpretation of an Australian accent. Calling it out over, and over, and over again.

Day 1, Inktober 2018. "Poisonous" Drawn with a Pilot Falcon SEF using Noodlers American Eel ink.

So Mum goes for the phone and these guys slip out the door to see what Graham is doing up in the tree... I can't believe they'd just leave their food behind like that. I mean... look at it. Mmm.

The kids jump, and call, and send koo wees up to the koo wee sky! When I draw happy characters like this I find myself smiling and I don't even realize it. I hope that happiness comes through in the art. - From "Graham's Up the Tree"

Inktober “Husky.” I’ve lost track of the days at this point, so I'll just Inktober through November.

"You think your car's cool? Well mine is better than yours. My car is so fly it doesn't even have doors. You can't show ME up - the girlies know what's up, When they see me roll up in my Speedy Teacup."
