Junkyard Sam's Uploads

Digital is great -- for composition and color. But for line art? I don't think I can ever give up the fountain pen. This was drawn with a Sailor King of Pen (M) and Sailor 1911L (EF) fountain pens using Pilot Black ink. Yes, sacrilege. Pilot ink in a Sailor. But I have some Kiwa Guro arriving soon!

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

New one shadowed & ready for color. Drawn with a Pilot Custom 823 FA (favorite pen at the moment) with Noodlers 41 Brown on Strathmore Mixed Media paper.

First drawing in my new @doodleaddicts sketchbook. Drawn with a Custom 742 PO and colored with Prismacolor Markers.

"At 6 o'clock the window squeaks and mum calls time" from Graham's Up the Tree. It must have been strange for mbpardy to see his his story interpreted through my illustrations... but page by page these characters came to life, with both of our contributions somehow adding up to something bigger.

"Ring" - Inktober day 1. Drawn with a Pilot Custom 743 PO, Holbein watercolor.

I drew this in my Baron Fig Portals sketchbook while on the plane. We were flying on Turbulent West Airlines.

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

Somehow, the red sky seemed just right for the happy yellow flower.

It's 2019 and I am thankful for family, turkey dinner, and Rebelle 3! This Thanksgiving holiday I'm teaching my boys how to draw in Rebelle. They've watched me for years but they're finally old enough to draw on the Cintiq. They're going to love it. Artist friends, check out the Rebelle 3 demo if you haven't already! Happy Holidays!

This was drawn with a Japanese fountain pen, Japanese ink, and painted with Japanese watercolor. To be specific - I used Holbein watercolor and Platinum Carbon Black in a Pilot Falcon. This trio is perfect for me.

"Say hello to these rabbits & they'll say hello right back, Just don't offer them carrot flavored jello as a snack. 'Cause it's more than they can stand, and they're likely to attack, And when a rabbit bites your hand then you'll have to bite it back!"

Inked with a PCH91 F, Noodlers Black Ink.

Standing on a cube, With nothing more to do, Than for us to wait in queue, For a chance to use the loo.

"Contemplation of the Jump" - drawn & colored in Escape Motions Rebelle. My drawings are pretty random, but after I make them I think about them a bit... like... what is that girl in that cave room thinking and why is he going to jump? I should probably know the answers... but I don't.

I did the cover art for Sankofa's new album "Glyde Drexler." Check it out at sankofa.bandcamp.com & Spotify!

Art: "Drie Inseln" / Pen: Platinum 3776 Century Black Diamond EF / Ink: Pilot Black

Happy Thanksgiving! This is "Sunday Wonderland," colored with Holbein watercolors on 6x8 paper. May your Thanksgiving be as bright & happy as pictured here! (And may you ride a horse-thing, too.)

Drawn in PS, colored in Escape Motions Rebelle.

We're at the monster garden where the people were defeated, A guard is never needed 'cause the monsters must be feeded. I mean fed. Like I said: Peeps are happy to be eaten 'cause it's never all that long, Monsters do the number two and poop them back onto the lawn. Colored in @escapemotions Rebelle

"I really don't like to gripe, But there's a monster in pink stripes, And he's lifting our house up to the sky. It's like what Mama always said, That we would all reach such great heights, But I suspect that's not quite what she meant."
