Hello, my name is Derek Lowes,
and I'm a doodle addict. Toronto, Ontario Canada

A guy that draws and paints a lot. I love fountain pens, inks, watercolours and whatever else isn't boring right now. My art veers a lot of different places and can be somewhat directionless. I do a lot of urban sketching and try hard not to pre-sketch most things - but if I have a plan the pencils usually come out at first.

I specialize in illustration, mixed media, painting, pen and ink, whatever you need.

This is an exterior white paint on an old tarp with a treated lumber frame painting using a photograph taken of my Dad in the Summer of 1979. Dad and I were on the porch playing our guitars while a girl I was dating snapped some photos. I get a sense of Dad's calmness whenever I look at the photo, and now, this painting.

Being a retired nurse, I often frequent , among others, an old folks forum and nurses website. One ongoing thread I have is called Davey Do's Art News, and I mentioned this website and a couple of artists who I've had the pleasure of communicating.

2nd attempt at a shroom head. I felt a lot of hats from 1950’s fashion actually look like mushroom caps.

I tend to use line art a lot and did this in Procreate to practice breaking free. It was gonna be a T-Rex per my son’s request but it evolved into a squirrel-like creature. Still made the T-Rex too later.

Another installment in my mushroom headed people series. Based on a mushroom image my friend sent me.

Many beginnings. Beginning 1. Kitten was very very lazy. She used to hunt slugs but now she only hunted carrots. She was such a good carrot hunter! * Starting is easy, it's the middle that is often a muddle. And I won't even mention the endings. Here are some beginnings for children stories that flitter through my head.
