First attempt at dotted style. From a photo of a famous French cartoonist.

I can't find my old dip pen nib, but I have found sumi ink and some markers from the 90s that still work (wow, but so fumey).

My fave cleaver wielding red head

Actually unrelated to the virus, this was an idea I’ve had for a while about how our neglect for our planet affects future generations.

Walt Whitman parallels his struggle with that of the spider. Here, his beard entangles, then forms, the web.

First painting with acrylic ! Summer 2019.

All Done! I’m pretty happy with how it turned out, but a few of the proportions are way off... but oh well. And I absolutely suck at manes(hair) soooo ya. Also I was curious, I’m thinking about getting some prints made of my artwork to sell, do any of you think you or someone you know would be interested in prints? Just curious, thanks! Hope you all are healthy and well! Photo by: Photography by Kelly and Kelly

A moody, very busy day. I did an ink wash of the beach today, but I'm posting the last piece I drew in the studio instead. I miss the studio and friends there.

✨My plan this month was to celebrate women, among them Princess Leia / Carrie Fisher. A leader and fighter against the Empire's tyranny. If this was today she'd be a health professional, or hygiene professional (cleaners), or food retailer worker or security professional. May the force be with you.
