'Another adventure', night sketch, ink and coffee

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.

10 x 10 in. acrylic

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.

Baby, it’s cold outside.

Illustration made with handcarved stamps.

Playing around with water soluble crayon and pattern

Around The Table. pen, ink, colored pencil and watercolor on Arches 140 gram hot press paper.

Rebelle 6 by Escape Motions is out. It's a blast! Pigmented blending, watercolor granulation, nanopixel dimensions, new transformation options. Really enjoying it. (Drew this in it.)

I have dragged this typewriter around for more than 50 years. I found it in an antique store when I was in college. It's still fully useable, except that it's REALLY hard to find ribbons. Basically, it's just another object to dust. But it is a beautifully made object. The basic shapes and perspective were blocked in with a 2H pencil, then I used a Sakura 005 micron pen to do the contour drawing.

A Christmas doodle made last Christmas ready for next Christmas! And in colour. For a change.

Drawn from a garden photograph. This took me much longer than expected. I kept stopping because I was getting discouraged. I still don't like the leaves, but there's not too much I can do about it at this point.

"Contemplation of the Jump" - drawn & colored in Escape Motions Rebelle. My drawings are pretty random, but after I make them I think about them a bit... like... what is that girl in that cave room thinking and why is he going to jump? I should probably know the answers... but I don't.

85% chance of brain. I had a brain storm today.

This was a morning doodle that took me into the afternoon. It’s so hard to stop!

Birds bikes and bells. It started as a quick bike doodle and then I got carried away. I kinda like getting carried away. I seldom know where it will end up.

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.
