doodling

Making marks with paint and pens.

I miss grapefruit. Doesn't it just figure? The only medicine I take and it has to have that limitation. It could be worse. Stop whining Jim. At least you made it to the World Series of doodling. Well...in my mind anyway.

I felt like drawing birdhouses and this came out in my large Moleskine.

What happens when Jimmy is reading Ezekiel in the morning then discovering @themarcuskingband and @billystrings and doodling on the same day? There is no logical reason to throw all this randomness together in one drawing. This stream of consciousness improv drawing can get weird at times. All I can say is if you were in my head 24/7 it would all make perfect sense. I have become comfortably weird.

My 9 year old Boston Terrier, Annabelle is a bright light in my life and she shows up in my work often. Best Christmas gift EVER!!!

Morning doodle. It's hard to get anything else when doodling is near the top of the list. Not that I'm complaining. ;)

Watercolor on Paper

Ok maybe a couple of mornings.

We all come from different places and I wish I could visit them all.

I think I’m becoming obsessed with the whole rabbit hole thing.

Don’t cry over spilled milk unless you are Mr. Milk of course.

This sketchbook is my therapist. Not this one specifically, but any single one small enough to fit in my pocket. I tell it everything, from quirky thoughts and funny notes to abstract concepts, drawings and positive reminders. Keep it analog folks… a doodle, sketch, writing, poem, or scribble every day helps to keep the brain fit and the thoughts flowing. ✏️

The Toast of the Town. Too bad the weather had to turn just when things were heating up.

Summertime. Who doesn’t love crabs?

Just some random doodling in my Moleskine. It never gets old.

I came across these Sepia Fine Liners! Had so much fun experimenting with them. Looking forward to creating some more images with these.

Doodling is what I do. It's a way to make visible the randomness that's in my head - just drawing out a concept right when it comes to mind and scribbling on whatever I can find.

Sandy is a dreamer. Her favorite dream is the beach. Doodling on iPadPro with Procreate.

Some crazy Moleskine doodles for the day. I haven’t been doing enough of these and really need to kick my butt harder. Not sure why because it’s so dang enjoyable.

Stream of consciousness drawing and doodling is always therapeutic. I love starting down a trail and not knowing where I will end up.

What do you do with a notebook planner that you never used and is about to expire? Doodle in its calendar squares of course.

Quick illustration for the song of the White Buffalo. ”Come join the murder Come join the black” Familiar song from TV show Sons of Anarchy too

Nature is where you become a true you, it's a place to disconnect from the world and to feel so connected to it at the same time.

This is part of a broader idea for a big busy city teeming with different characters. Some of those characters will travel deeper through this city and through different lands. Eventually they get back to where they started from.

Complete doodling... letting the pen wander...

Sometimes I just have to draw hungry marshmallow slurping monsters.

A simpler & graphic style with Lamy fountain pen and Pentel brushpen

The new Hasselblads are so dang out of my range! I can't even swing a used one. This is the first time using the oil brush in @procreate on a final illustration. I have to admit i didn’t want it to end.
