I love doing pen work. Might do an entire children's book in this style. Maybe faded colours.

Close to a month ago, I had found out my design was selected for the Art Stop Program, and, yes, this is mainly what I've been working on since. I've never worked on a piece this large before, 72in x 24in, and I rarely make sketches of pieces before creating the final work. It's definitely a cool feeling to look at the finished board and see how the drawing actually came to life. (The Art Stop Program selects a handful of entered designs for the artists to create on a larger board, and these boards will then be inserted into bus stop benches around Niles, IL.) I can't wait to see the bench this will be in, and I'm so lucky I got to be part of the program.

Some LGBTQ+ members of the community can’t openly love who they want to love, so the bars represent that barrier. The fabric, with all its complex folds and creases represents sensuality, desire and love. Love, in all its forms is a complex thing of beauty.------------- The companion piece to my previous post ‘Ecstasy.’ Agony and Ecstasy were always meant to be a diptych. The issue for me is that there is a two-year gap between the completion of the two - there is a noticeable difference in the the way both were drawn.

Just a new t-shirt design I made for no reason!

This is an image I used for a poetry book.

A birthday card I drew for my partner not long after we first met. The dog is her Labrador, Jack looking over a slightly artistic licence version of Ystradgynlais.

This stream was in the foothills of Cadair Idris. I took a step away from my precision sketching to do something a bit faster and loose.

I laid down the initial layer of this large piece in pencil about a year ago and finally returned to it this weekend to add accents in ink.

First commission done! This is Six.

When goldilocks visits.

A dew draped crabapple, nestled in the grass. Crayola crayon on some type of paper from the great ol dollar store.

The fruit is good for nothing. Â frúcta não vôs ôu lhe serve. "English as She is Spoke" by Jose da Fonseca and Pedro Carolina. I adore "Rejected" cartoon by Don Hertzfeldt. I am sure you have all seen it, but if not, look it up. And thank me later. Unless you hate it. Then thank me anyway for broadening your taste.

I was trying to do more details and do more complex drawings, it kinda made the colors a lot harder :( but I thought it was super fun

Graphite drawings all day every day.

Daily Drawing 685⁠ Odette made this amazing cover of AC/DC's song "Thunderstruck" for Like a Version. ⁠My most recent music discovery. What about you, discovered anything interesting lately?

Have you ever dreamed of this once in a while? I do, they're less frequent though.

Everything is a mess and I'm genuinely scared. And it's all out of my control.
