A polar bear pencil drawing that I did a few years ago.

I'm trying some new techniques out. Not sure I like either of them, particularly, but one has to try occasionally.

Inktober day 1, Poison. I drew a octopussy on his head, but then he forgets to keep his mind on the really dangerous thing, the poisonous snake coming from the corner. Be aware out there..

Happy #inktober! Time to kick back some cold ones with ur bois

This is an every other day challenge so I’ve completed a few already but will be uploading them one at a time daily til we get to Inktober!!

I painted during the Chinese New Year of the Rooster. In that year, my daughter was born.

Posca & Liquitex paint pens with Windsor Newton brush markers on Typhoo tea bags... Tea addict - got to make use of the abundance of tea bags somehow.

The (i think) 12th and final butterfly for the Literal Butterflies Project. Wow! thats a lotta flutterflies. This one was certainly tedious with such elaborate markings, she wasn't easy! ... That said, none of them were. With such beauty, and intricate wing pattern and design, butterflies are a very difficult subject to work with. But somehow we managed to get through all 12 with some of my hair left! Loved every step of this journey :)

One of my first larger artworks spreading away from my normal doodling on papers. A tribute to my favorite mythical creature Cthulhu (: !!!!!Opinions would be soo appreciated considering I'm brand spankin new to art.!! also if you'd like this design on a notebook or t-shirt or even a print hit me up.

I drew a girl holding a cupcake and felt bored by her, so I added some sweet-ass tats. This was fountain pen ink run through water brushes. For more Digital Random Joy™, be sure to check out Instagram Super_Starling, which is a fairly fun place, if I do say so myself.

Noh Doubt About It: I drew 20 masks today.

This is a doodle of a number of old buildings in my city Zwolle. This was my view from my old studio.

i doodled this a few weeks ago, my son and daughter in law have now claimed it for the wall.

Every day have new rays of sun for new energy .

The angel featured here looks a little bit like she was barfed out by Tim Burton. I drew these while I was watching Westworld. (Feel free to just talk about Westworld in the comments if you'd like.)

India ink, colored pencil, marker,watercolor.

My iPad doodle of the shipyard cranes. Near where I grew up in Belfast. I managed to get to the top of one whilst a young boy. Some view over Belfast.

From Sketch to Final Water Coloring Stages, this is a spread from Tide Day! A lot goes into making a good composition, taking into account the center of the image where the binding is, and how to play with size and negative space. One of my favorite things to do is explore contrasting expressions between characters and highlight their emotions through physical stances and expressions. This was a tough challenge with the lack of limbs and the watery context, but Pearl's stubbornness and attitude shines through!

The Ford Taurus was the most boring car I could think of. This selection of doodles are all just ink on paper, applied with a brush. The black circle behind the cats was Sharpie. I had a design back there, decided I super-hated-it, and then screwed the whole thing up. Ah well. The cats are still okay.

This sketchbook spread features a man whispering some Yin Yang song lyrics into a lady's ear. I drew them separately, then realized the guy was definitely hitting on her. I can't imagine that singing the lyrics from "Wait, The Whisper Song" have ever worked. But today might be the day. We also have a hairless cat and some very mysterious Illuminati symbolism. I like to stay busy.

A commissioned piece of original artwork for a client that I drew which incorporates various elements of strength (as chosen by the client). It also illustrates that even in dark times a light will come shining through.

Here we have some very fancy European history folks, a creature that might be a dummy, and Harry Potter as a nervous waiter who can't remember if you got diet or regular soda. Because, let's face it, Harry was never THAT good at magic.
