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

Allover fish pattern using some old and new ocean themed drawings.

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

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.

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.

A couple of winter tree drawings.

Details of drawings and doodles on sketchbook.

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.

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.

Drawings after Peter Paul Rubens

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.

Adrian Tepes, Son of Dracula.

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.

Done with pencil crayons

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.

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.

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!

Imagining a better future in the time of COVID isolation seems like a fevered dream. Bic4 Ballpoint Pen, Sanrio Novelty 10 Colour Ballpoint Pen on Archival 8.5" x 11" paper

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

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

Always enjoy getting back to drawing the figure from life.

This drawing is a compass, but it’s not only a compas. It has the world in it in little triangles. Follow me on instagram for more of my work: @romy.e.art

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