and

In an attempt to be much more consistent with my drawing practice (and to tackle my insecurities about showing people my drawings) I am hoping that posting some of my sketches online will help keep me accountable. So day 1 sketch, I managed to find a very cheap used college set of Rotring Rapidograph pens online, when they arrived today I was delighted to see that they had NEVER been used! After a bit of a happy dance I got a couple of the pens assembled and started to figure out how they work. This is a quick sketch on tracing paper not that I was tracing anything I just need to invest in better paper with less tooth to be able to use these pens without having ink flow issues.

Emma holds a mug. I like drawing hands and faces, so why not have them closer together?

I'm not sure if this counts as Urban, but I drew the boat, the beach and the heat - done in Costa Rica!

10/10 Alanis Morissette, Jagged Little Pill Daily drawing 680 I was challenged to choose 10 music albums that defined my musical buds and I decided to draw them, in no particular order. Maybe it’s not the best one, but it’s most certainly one of the most meaningful for me ❤️Alanis

My husband has a chronic illness and frequently spends weeks in the hospital. I have been doodling each day while sitting with him and many of them reflect my thoughts at the time. Often appearing are desperation, hope, frustration, sarcasm, fear.

I am tired of drawing people looking at their phones, so I am replacing people's phones with random animals. Like for this cool lady, I saw at the Met Museum!

These are a few pages from my DA sketchbook that I filled using only a blue pen and a red and a blue highlighter.

I felt like drawing birdhouses and this came out in my large Moleskine.

Have no fear! I haven't lost my head- I have it right here. And my neck has a hole where you can pour the beer. So do me a favor, dear. Pour it in with a cheer.

"If MF DOOM was a fox, he’d pro’ly steal a kid and lock it up in a box. But not to do it harm... More to save it from a life of working on a farm. He’d do that kid a favor. He would save her. Just what you would expect from a friendly rapping neighbor."

This was my first drawing for the Graham's Up the Tree book. I used my most trusted pen: Metal Pilot Falcon, Soft Extra Fine.

Autumn... and Friday!

Trying different materials for doodling. Gel pens and watercolour brush pen Doodled on blank notebook covers.

This 11" x 14" bold, dynamic, geometric abstract makes a unique statement. Lines and curves, angles and shapes in stark black and white convey the arbitrary, yet methodical . . . random, yet systematic nature of the universe . . . and our lives.

Another artwork from 1997. Blast from the past. Pen and ink pointillism.
