Junkyard Sam's Uploads

This PCH912 SU is a fun and expressive pen to draw with. This fish is a fun and expressive chum to fly with.

I'm going to paint this guy onto an egg next Easter. Ink & watercolor on 5x5 Arches cold press.

Here's the final color illustration created for Osprey Pens featuring the Osprey Pen Factory. It was drawn with the same fountain pen there on the right... An Osprey Milano 5.5 Flexpert Hourglass nib. Great pen! Colored in Photoshop.

Here's a sketch of the Osprey Pens Pen Factory, drawn with an Osprey Milano 5.5 Flexpert Hourglass nib using Noodlers Black Ink. Great pen!

Ghosts, Ghosts and More Ghosts. Drawn with a Pilot Custom 743 M using Noodlers 41 Brown ink. Watercolor coming next.

"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.

Sketched in Rebelle. Inked with a fountain pen. Colored in Rebelle & Photoshop.

"Flying in the sky with a lady in its arms, The Platform's heading fast out to the farm. She was harmed unknowingly and now she will become a seed, From which the platforms now will feed until they breed." -- Drawn with fountain pens, colored with my iPad using Procreate.

"It's Pandolin Coraflot, riding the most anatomically correct horse ever drawn." Ink drawing colored with Paintstorm Studio & Photoshop.

Three islands filled with people all alone out by the sea, You see, I'd love to join them but there is no room for me. That one guy climbed too high - I think they call him "Clumsy Paul?" Soon there may be room for me... I'm just waiting for his fall.

"With great frustration, the man threw his computer to the water robots." That's how I used to feel before discovering Rebelle by Escape Motions. It makes art fun!

Standing on a block (while two men sit up top), The horse is deep in thought, wondering "Where can we walk?" He's distraught 'cause he knows that there is nowhere to go, And it does no good to tell them, they'll just say "I told you so."

"When this guy was chosen as a host he felt like such a winner. But what he didn't know is these things would eat him up for dinner."

The Right Pen For The Job: Started with a Pilot Custom 742 PO. Finished with my 3776 Century UEF. Ready for color.

There's a phone in Graham's Up the Tree and kids will have no clue what they're looking at or how those "buttons" work.

There's a big drop of black ink spilled near the center... It's like that bit of ink just couldn't wait to be part of the art. Sometimes a rough sketch takes on a life of its own.

Three kings stopped a walking man to ask advice about their dreams. But the man said, "Oh no please, I don't want to hear these things." "I have dreams of my own although they'll never come to pass... I just work my life away while all you rich guys sit and laugh."

I’m back! The game company I work for hit some turbulence and laid off half the studio. I’m still there but it took a while to adjust. Getting back to my own work now. This was drawn with my Sailor King of Pen (M). What a pen! My Royal Tangerine 1911s is to the left for size comparison.

"Nothing says tranquility like a cup of Oolong Tea." Inktober Day 3. Roasted.

I drew these guys with a Pilot Custom 823 FA and Platinum Carbon Black ink. The FA nib has a good drawing width on watercolor paper - one of my favorites. It's a soft nib but I don't use the line variation, just some nice shock absorption with each downstroke. The Carbon Black ink is out-of-this-world good, though being pigmented I fear keeping it in too many pens.
