This is a black-and-white revision of an illustration I made (hand-drawn) for an American Red Cross e-newsletter years ago. The original was in color; however, considering my current work is predominantly black and white, I thought it appropriate to update the illustration for my portfolio. © 2007-2018 Joe Blend.

This was a custom piece I did for my friends daughter. I used pen and watercolor.

I took part in Jake Parker's instagram Inktober event making a drawing everyday of October; these drawings eventually turned into one larger drawing by the end of the month.

© 2018 Joe Blend. All rights reserved. — Artwork was made using a black Sharpie marker, a Ranger white opaque pen, a Precise V5 Rolling Ball extra fine black pen, and a sheet of paper from a Moleskine journal. The piece was then copied in black and white using an HP copier. The artwork is inspired by “Beyond Waves & the Notion of Time,” my blog post about the importance of the journey: http://bit.ly/2Fs0au4.

I made an angel looking to throwdown! I colored in old artwork from a couple years ago. I'm practicing lineless art coloring in lieu of this weekend's art streams! This took me about 4+ hours to do, but it was a fun challenge!

Friend gifted me a Glass Dip Pen and I've been playing with it.

I suppose it no longer matters that the UK stuck to sterling. Dreadful politics there. I had a month to find out that I do not want to go back given the antipathy to the EU, not to mention the endless tory arrogance and stupidity and to the chaos that is

Weekend unwinding with my paints and pen.

I call this one 'Secret Shoppers'. She's feeling down, so going downtown and shopping helps. The colors and balloons symbolize her mood changing :) Later on, I did end up painting this on canvas in black and white, it's about 54 inches tall, but I still w
