Details of drawings and doodles on sketchbook.

fish Eye

A couple of winter tree drawings.

I had a wonderful time creating this commision for a Kansas City Personalities wall mural installed in a downtown KC apartment building. The wall measures roughly 12’ x 20’. These were all hand drawn graphite and charcoal drawings that I scanned into my mac and delivered digitally. The file was then enlarged and applied to the wall surface.

This image was created to be a limited print to go along with my new book, 10 Years of Daily Drawings.

Adobe just released a new drawing and painting app Fresco for the iPad. Here are few experimental images. I have to say I am impressed with the natural media brushes and the interface.

Drawings after Peter Paul Rubens

Original drawings for sale, I'll be listing them later today in my Bigcartel shop :)

My 100 day project has basically switched over from digital drawings to watercolor. This is a spread in my sketchbook from the transition. Took a few days but, I am starting to feel like myself when using the medium again. Just needed to reactivate some muscle memory.

Currently exploring image making with fountain pens: immediate mark making, no pencil, no eraser. I'm enjoying the discovery process and embracing the stray mark made with semi-blind contour and continuous line drawings.

My little fun series of everyday food during quarantine just to make it more cosmic ;) This one sketch a day approach helps with my long break in drawings! :) Sketchbook, coffee and ink.

I have been opening up my sketchbook, and drawing while not looking at my lines. I then color them in and add words for personal reflections.

Done with pencil crayons

Drawn with Generals Pastel Pencils. I was surprised I enjoyed working with them. This is one in a series of "drink themed" drawings.

I feel like my drawings got a lot more dimensional and interesting once I was able to achieve variable line width. I love loading different colors into the pen and going HAM on paper that totally can't handle it. My sketchbooks crackle when I turn the pages. They buckle and heave and are exhausted from their tribulations.

I don't color my drawings very often, I mostly enjoy the doodling process.

Drawings I made for a commission of the five stages of the Walking Wall installation by Andy Goldsworthy at the Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art in Kansas City. What an inspiring journey to walk and watch it move.

These are a few random pieces from the last few weeks.

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!

A few drawings/paintings from my class this week. I like to work alongside my students.

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

Always enjoy getting back to drawing the figure from life.

Little drawings with the theme of transportation.

Adrian Tepes, Son of Dracula.

Part of a series of black and white drawings on birch plywood. I took some liberties with horns and the look of the face. Don't consider this a realistic bison.
