Three real wizards and a fake one.

My hill pass from the Samhuinn Fire Festival this year was obviously swaying me here!

More mini bots - are they robots, robotic creatures, some kind of ecosystem...?

Ahoy mateys!

A kelpie/ lusca hybrid, because why not?

Plushie time!

My take on the logo for Einstürzende Neubauten :-)

Tarot time :-)

October in a nutshell, I suppose?

Breaking in the new sketchbook with a Shaggy drawing, because why ever not?

I’ve had this random Chinchou card that inspired today’s piece for a while now, glad it’s still in one piece!

Henry and Lucy caught these fish while fishing with Grandpa. The remarkable natural color—blue-green, gold, orange, violet, and pink—made the catch especially striking. A great subject for a watercolor study of color, texture, transparency, and reflected light.

Another Wile E. fan art, because why not?

Something of a space case myself…

These were drawn on different days, in different places. A salt shaker and sugar rack at Beans & Barley on Milwaukee’s East Side—a place that is gone now. A chair at Starbucks, which is still there. When I go places, I wait. Waiting is filled with observation. Observation is recorded with marks. Marks spark memory. I can look at a few pencil lines years later and remember where I was. Maybe that’s what a sketchbook really keeps. Not drawings of things, but evidence of moments. For Doodle Addicts, I would use this rather than making Beans & Barley the whole story. The loss of Beans & Barley gives one sketch poignancy, but your larger idea is better: drawing converts otherwise disposable waiting into memory.

A quick observational sketch from the chess meet—boards, pieces, and the strange architecture of waiting. The chessmen seemed to be rehearsing before the players arrived.

Let’s get this week started, shall we?

I was just trying to do something nice for him...

A marsh resists firm boundaries: water becomes ground, branches become reflections, and distance dissolves into light. The task was not to explain the place, but to remain attentive while it refused to become clear.

Initially aimed for Ms. Marvel / Kamala Khan but somehow ended up with a Daria lookalike… happy with how things turned out though!

Recently acquired a Marill!

Catch-up time again?
