Pen & ink on Bristol

I share a doodle notebook with my 5yo autistic grandson.

(2B Pencil on A5 Paper) I did this one as part of a fictional challenge where every prompt-word of the month was "arse" but made it part of Inktober.

Wild Geese You do not have to be good. You do not have to walk on your knees for a hundred miles through the desert, repenting. You only have to let the soft animal of your body love what it loves. Tell me about despair, yours, and I will tell you mine. Meanwhile the world goes on. Meanwhile the sun and the clear pebbles of the rain are moving across the landscapes, over the prairies and the deep trees, the mountains and the rivers. Meanwhile the wild geese, high in the clean blue air, are heading home again. Whoever you are, no matter how lonely, the world offers itself to your imagination, calls to you like the wild geese, harsh and exciting— over and over announcing your place in the family of things.

In Your Heart

Toronto had almost 3 million people, everyone going in different directions, but where are they going? I want to know, too shy to ask.

Goldilocks zone...butterfly searching for the perfect chair. Colored pencil, ink and watercolor.

Ghosts and films! Is it October already?

It is what is, as they say.

I found out recently that a good friend of mine's dog passed away. I didn't know how to react so I drew this for her. Ellie was a great dog who loved people and adventures. She's not gone. She's just on a new adventure, making new friends.

This elderly octopus is insane with the feeling of love.

I was doing this while listening to M83, specifically “My Tears Are Becoming A Sea”. I wanted to do art inspired by that song. This is a very quick random drawing that’s actually really bad but I just was doodling for like 10 minutes and decided to post it.
