Fish. Trying to find a better angle to show more details.

Done on the iPad using procreate. Therapeutic meditative doodling.

Still reeling from that fire; totally unnecessary. Cover and inside illustration from my book, The Moth and the Sun.

But first coffee

It's ok to not make sense. It's ok to not follow a pattern. It's ok to be the odd one out. Life is too beautiful, too amazing, to eccentric, too weird to fit inside someone else's tiny little box of an opinion about you. Break free out of that and live your life on your terms.

Experimenting today with an oil transfer drawing technique. The red and purple lines are oil drawn/transferred to hot press 140 pound watercolor paper with watercolor applied. The oil resists the watercolor.

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!

Trying to capture vision of small island at light mist

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.
