This was a morning doodle that took me into the afternoon. It’s so hard to stop!

Jellyhead creatures

Ahoy, me mateys! Jimmy had a fun day on the high seas.

A bazillion little round circles and almost as many lines and it still looks static. Sheesh. I'll be working this idea to DEATH over the next few days....

Digital is great -- for composition and color. But for line art? I don't think I can ever give up the fountain pen. This was drawn with a Sailor King of Pen (M) and Sailor 1911L (EF) fountain pens using Pilot Black ink. Yes, sacrilege. Pilot ink in a Sailor. But I have some Kiwa Guro arriving soon!

Here comes the doodle caravan. It's getting close. Can't wait to see what everyone uploads.

The caravan is coming to town. I hope everyone hops on.

Inspired by a friend of mine's passing remark, I got creative...

This comic came out of a conversation I’m having with a friend. We both found it fascinating that so many comedians and creatives come from broken and dark places. Robin Williams said, “I think the saddest people always try their hardest to make people happy because they know what it’s like to feel absolutely worthless and they don’t want anyone else to feel like that.”

Birds bikes and bells. It started as a quick bike doodle and then I got carried away. I kinda like getting carried away. I seldom know where it will end up.

Two strangers passing in the night, such fun times.

I draw circles ALL the time....everywhere. I am not sure why, sometimes I think it would be neat to make a nice piece of art of these.

Mixed media. Acrylic, pencil, digital. This is a piece from the book “Mail Me Art - Medium Without A Message” by @littlechimpsociety. I think it was the second call for entries/book.There are now 4 books filled with awesome art drawn and painted on outsides of envelopes and packages by artists all over the world who then mailed them to the UK totally exposed to the postal service. The original was all analog. I brought this into Procreate and reworked it. I may do more when I get a chance but I’m pretty satisfied with it now.

Here is a sneak peaks of my submission to the Home Sweet Home Challenge. I loved this challenge because it forced me to do something I never would have, which gave me happy surprises as I worked through it.

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.

Nothing beats an unusual dream that inspires you. plus some Star Wars inspiration!

When you still have some energy left over from a creative marathon that happened the night before...

Four Tet's good for my creativity, no doubt about it.

No idea where this title came from, but it works so...yeah. Also, new sketchbook time!

A little thanks to the works of Ariel Pink for this one. If you’re anything like I am, grooves like his always get you through your creative process

Having way too much fun with textures and halftones in Procreate.

I helped create the Island in the Sun can for Conshohocken Brewing Company a couple years back. They release it every year in the summer and I drew this up to celebrate the re-release this year!

Summer is finally here and I am creating a sunny postcard to send to friends while on road trips.

Practicing with my dip pen, not great paper but still kinda cute.

Hand lettering for a work in progress.
