Lauren Konopacki's Faves

My favorite time of year is almost here. The cool breezy air, the colors and smells. The sounds of the last crickets, the mood of the sky. I could go on and on. This was A fun piece to work on. What will the next challenge bring?

Here are 5 assorted doodles! I hope you love them.

Man, I’ve been random lately. I think my mind’s eye sees stuff that normal people don’t. That might make me abnormal. I’m kinda comfortable with that. Guess who’s going to be watching some Clint Eastwood tonight?

This is my first attempt at using India Ink. Couldn’t help but get painterly with it. Looking for to more practice!

Ongoing series of handmade collages realised over vintage postcards.

A drawing which required some sharpening of a mechanical pencil. Just to get that needle-sharp drawing tool. I'm not the only one doing this, right?

A collection of collections... things you might find on a shelf in someone's home... Just a few objects can tell a great story about a life.

I took an hour or two and drew some owls while watching the 7th Harry Potter movie. The black (it's actually dark purple) ink is in a Platinum Preppy refillable marker (I SWEAR BY THESE -- you just need the ONE and can keep putting ink in it) (https://www.gouletpens.com/collections/other-writing-instruments/products/platinum-preppy-refillable-marker-black?variant=11884751487019) and the green is in an extra-fine Lamy Al-Star (https://www.gouletpens.com/products/lamy-al-star-fountain-pen-bluegreen?variant=11884855885867).
