Ice cream : tasty, refreshing, smile-inducing, dopamine and serotonin producing. War : neither edible nor refreshing, poverty-inducing, triggers of premature ageing, everything sad and gloomeh.

Peter and Neal had a difficult day.

Instead of a sketchbook I draw - doodle - on a table top sized sheet of 100lb paper. This allows me to cross-pollinate visual ideas more easily.

If I got a penny for every time I drew vent art and it ended up being a hecking masterpiece, I'd have enough money to pay someone to draw vent art FOR me. Drawn with FireAlpaca.

Getting back to hand drawing with one of my favourites, pen

Just a doodle of moi with morning coffee

Part of a huge doodle. Started as a doodle while I talked to a friend on the phone. She was one of those non-stop-don't-interupt-me talkers. I got hours of work done while on the phone. It ended up being purchased by our local public gallery for $4,000 bucks. Not bad! And I may use it in a future children's book.

"Whirlwind 23”, an original drawing. Micron pens on archival paper. Size: 4” x 6”. Title, signature, and date in the back of the drawing. This drawing is the 23rd in a series of drawings posted over a period of 100 days. The original post date on this drawing was September 23, 2020.

Done in graphite and watercolor. Something I like to do is take everyday mundane objects and try to make them unnerving, etc.
