Keep calm and carry on.

Make art, not war!

This was for a Kinokuniya tote bag contest but it was inspired by a whole host of things. I have included some of my favorite book characters in the doodle as well as some folklores from Japan and China. Can you recognize them and the book characters?

Essential Wednesday winding down on my part.

Because two heads are better or worse than none.

The final page in my current sketchbook! Stay tuned after the break folks.

Known as the Groundquaker to the hill people, the Foundation Walker to the townsfolk and Betty to her pen pals.

For whenever you feel knocked down, but know you’ll be up again in no time at all.

Friday night’s alright for creating...

My process in a nutshell, more or less!

The end of one sketchbook, with the beginning of another to arrive shortly!

It gets weird in Bleu's world most times, and for that I regret absolutely nothing.

Enchanted. En. Chant. Ted. I’m here all week, folks!

May any aliens watching us worthy folks take us somewhere not so disease-riddled.

Dabbling in something new and experimental(ish) because, why not?

At the end of all this self-isolation, I have no doubt folks will be as hungry as that Dalmatian pupper I named this piece after. Hungry for some actual social interaction in our cases, that is...

Wednesday wind-down time! Took a wander to my local coffee shop and came back with this. A job well done I’d say :)

FATHER OF EIGHTEEN ELVES From Favorite Folktales from Around the World by Jane Yolen. This stranger gives the child a loving look, and says to the mother, “We don’t act fairly by one another; I cuddle your child, but you beat my husband.”

Resting up before another big season starts!

Continuing my prolific streak as of late, because why not?

A DISPUTE IN SIGN LANGUAGE. From Favorite Folktales from Around the World by Jane Yolen. And this is what the poultry dealer related: “The priest pointed with one finger to my eyes, meaning to take out my eye. I pointed with two fingers to imply, I would take out both his eyes." ... At the same time the priest’s friends questioned him: “What did you ask the Jew? What did he reply?” The priest related: “At first I pointed one finger, meaning that there is only one king. He pointed with two fingers, meaning that there are two kings, the King in Heaven and the king on earth."

Tonight’s tangent lead to this.

Leave the light on for us Scottish folks Europe, thank you!

When in doubt, add a narwhal.

Gobbins be like

It seems like most people I know these days are starting families, so I figured I'd respond in the way I know best...

Thinking ahead, as you do.
