Before you is a touching tale of true friendship between a capybara and a mouse. The capybara is the world's largest rodent. If you google "capybara friends," you'll see that there are a lot of instances of other species just hanging out with them in the wild. For some reason, all animals are attracted to the capybara. I'll wait while you look this up.

For the love of pebbles.

The ruined city gates done using drawing inks and a Noodlers Ahab fountain pen

Done using a fountain pen and drawing inks

I messed up a face (just to the left of the spine), and then painted over it into a... unholy horror. I don't want to mess with that thing.

Facial hair is a fun challenge to draw, as are bats. Most bats are really, really freaky-looking, which I am 100% into.

More Ink fun- Less Letters this time :) And a little tribute to one of my favorite Schiele drawings (Reclining Woman with Red Blouse)

Sooo, I was trying to draw Sam Smith... it didn’t work out how I wanted but that doesn’t matter. Just forget the Sam Smith idea and see another drawing

Here we have some very fancy European history folks, a creature that might be a dummy, and Harry Potter as a nervous waiter who can't remember if you got diet or regular soda. Because, let's face it, Harry was never THAT good at magic.

Iris Apfel - so cool - so stylish - so 96 years.

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.

I was a teenage goth.

Pen and Ink, with Watercolor

One of the 104 illustrations in #themondayfridayproject. Please search for and check out the full project on instagram

Vibrant, cheerful, abstract design of shapes and colors. Available in sizes 6" x 8" to 16" x 20".

This piece began as a multi-colored abstract . . . but it was nowhere . . . nothing . . . and had no essence. So, I tried to take it in the direction of a landscape . . . and that was horrible. I gave the entire piece a whitewash using a white acrylic paint pen. And then the idea popped into my head to Doodle over the colored background. The title reflects the fact that the piece only came to life with the addition of the Doodles . . .

Made this way back 1997. Pen and ink. Pointillism

I did this one to practice my pencil work and to improve on drawing realism. I used a reference photo from one of my favorite magazines, Inked, I removed the other tattoos on the model except for the beautiful rose tattoo.
