Even if it is (in my case at the least) just doodling away to the point of allsorts in the hopes it’ll make at least one person a) happy b) perked or c) amused, do good and be good in wake of the current shitstorms in the making. More for another day...

Toshiro Mifune. Scratchboard 6x6".

She was charming when I picked her to be in my drawing, but I didn't like her hair and I "knit her a sweater. She's a pen and pencil drawing.

While listening to a podcast I decided to sketch out this bottle of lotion that was on my desk in front of me.

I've been thinking about visual tension recently and making things more interesting with contrast and depth. I am learning!

Second attempt at uploading my fantastimazing aunt, first attempt I added it without the shading layer, whoops, anyway, fantastimazing is not a word I just like it so here we are!

I feel like I haven't made any actual art in a while, let alone actually said anything about anything. It's been a long week, in both good and bad ways. First off, I was accepted into college, and then (for lack of better words) I accepted my acceptance to that school (I'm officially a Blue Demon!). Gymnastics is shut down, which I feared would happen, due to the rising cases in IL. It'll be closed at least until after the holidays, which scares me, but it is what it is (I wish people would just follow guidelines and wear masks)... I've been frustrated lately, mostly artistically. I go through times where I'm not satisfied with anything, nothing is good enough but all I want to do is create. There are a few larger projects I've been working on in the background, two for school and one personal. The personal one I haven't had much time to work on, but I'm hoping I will over the next few days (since I'm on break.) So yep. Lots of moving parts right now. Anyway, I hope everyone has a safe Thanksgiving!

What a year!

I dedicate this one to : Pacita Abad . The Google sketch featured artist of 7/31/2020 . Gods honor you, let the stars ring your name on this day in history in our vast universe. Listening to : Grimes – 4ÆM (basically on repeat )

This was initially an ink pen doodle which I then coloured and further developed digitally in both Photoshop and SketchBookExpress.

Nitescape. The mysterious going city across the great ocean, far away from Nornwan and far forgotten, but they have not forgotten. They still have hints of the old world in their dome of cyber charged pessimism. Older painting, for a Nitescape cyberpunk project, the following link is to my friend's bizarre video adventure that takes place sometime in the dark and dreary city of Nitescape! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AnfgqkhL_yE

Pencil Drawing

Illustration for the Folio Society Competition Brief based on the novel War Horse by Michael Morpurgo.

I will never tire of drawing stoic, peasant folk...and chickens...

A tattoo sketch done for a family member, it has a deeper meaning but it was simple in design. Done with graphite.

Part of the '1 drawing a day' challenge - drawn on 04/06/17

Rest in power Benjamin Zephaniah. Thank you for everything!

This shriveling half onion has been in my dirty fridge for a week.

On the dunes...
