Folktale Week Day1: Home. This is a folktale about the ghost of a woman who lived at Heceta Head Lighthouse Her baby died when she fell off the cliff outside their home. Tragic!

Spent a day stuck in the Chicago airport. I drew a LOT of puppies!

14/20 days, 20 films that made an impact on me. No title, no comment, just a picture. In my case, a drawing. Daily drawing #634

Drawn on Christmas day 2017. Watercolour and ink on paper, 15X29cm.

An old-style doodle, with many parts to look at! This took a few days, from the initial drawing, to inking, to uploading to my computer and digitally coloring and adding textures and detail! Lots of fun, and definitely different from my normal doodle-style. Thanks for viewing!

This drawing looks a bit like one of those "how are you feeling?" hospital charts. It starts out okay ("smiling cat", "drunk pirate"), and descends into full Lovecraftian Horror. I was driving toward a local town known for its unpleasant yokels, which probably explains the progression. Today, for the record, I'm 75% Apathetic Lumberjack, 5% glassy-eyed cat, and 20% Vampire Waluigi.

These patterns are all made from drawings pulled from my 2017 sketchbook project. I studied fiber arts in grad school and learned how to do repeat patterns - the old fashioned way by cutting and taping paper together... I haven't done any in 25 years - until this month!

My dad and I found this oc challenge on Pinterest and thought it would be fun. https://pin.it/6rSLH0Z Here is the credit link and if anyone else wants to do it, it was really fun!

Napkin challenge, I missed the deadline but figured I might as well upload the file.

We Live Here Now

For #day11 the #inktober word is #cruel. Wearing natural fur only because it looks good on you is not a reason for animals to be sacrificed.

All you have to do is lift your chin up to encounter the most fascinating things in life. What would it take to lift up your chin and talk to the person sitting right next to you. I fear that one day we will forget the very essence of being a human.

Another doodle realised for my personal 100 Days Project.

Customarily, families give their homes a thorough cleaning in the days leading up to Lunar New Year’s Day. Windows are scrubbed, floors are swept, and furniture is dusted in preparation for the new year, sweeping away away the bad luck of the past year. In addition, dusting is avoided on New Year’s Day, for fear that good fortune will be swept away.

Another one for #transmundanetuesdays, with prompts by Carson Ellis (an older one tho), this is my #glovedandspikeybricklayer! He looks evil but he's just allergic to non-spikey things.

Javan Tiger. Part of my Alphabet of Extinct Species project in which I draw an animal everyday.

Daisies

I thought of Edward Hopper when I came upon this view but a daytime version of his corner etching. I used watercolor, pen, and colic markers
