doodle

(2B pencil on a 195mm x 123mm book title page) The first of five in this project. I chose the Harry Potter book because it tells the usual religious "hero's journey" story, of a boy born for another life that sees outsiders as something different.

Moleskine Doodle for October 2016

Random Sketchbook Doodle portrait

self portrait to find my self.. :D

Another Wile E. fan art, because why not?

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.

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!

Muppet fan art no. 2 today! I adored the Muppet Babies growing up and this video tape, well, how the hell it never wore out is beyond me. If only the rest of the tv series was an easy find…

Just finished watching The Legend Of The Three Caballeros over on Disney+, excellent stuff! Time for yet more fan art… hello Donald!

Today I’m tackling the elusive Tully Monster as a drawing subject! “It might be either a wormy type thing or a molluscy-like thing but for the most part, comprehensive taxonomies placed the monster in the animal kingdom untethered to any particular phylum, making it essentially unclassifiable. The perplexing nature of these fossils earned them the parochial nickname ‘Tully Monster’.”

Return of the seahorse and friends!

Continuing this journey of trying new things to draw, so here’s something resembling an OG Game Boy for you all!

For an Instagram art challenge, we had to draw a beat ‘em up character in the style of a robot. Here’s my contribution! I could’ve gone with some fairly obvious choices, but to challenge myself and try something new, I opted for Gon from Tekken 3. Turning this dino into a robot, now that’s where it got interesting!

Oddish fan art time again!

New sketchbook time and opening with something different! Don’t worry, sea creatures and surprises will follow shortly ;-)

Knew I still had some stickers kicking around to use… even better when they’re trans inclusive Labubu ones!

Hadn’t drawn Dragonite in a while… figured I’d do something about that!

Sticker collage no. 3! This time with Washi tape :-)

These stickers I got over the weekend are slaying!

Seahorse time :-)

Lindsey's prompt: Hippogriff

Something of a mock paella going on here, I’d say!

Lindsey's prompt: Pin up Girl

Something very different(ish) for me… a touch of life drawing! It’s been near enough eight years since I last had a go at this sort of thing. Pleased to see I’m not too bad at it… definitely giving it another go when I can :-)
