Part of my 100 day project series: fairy bread done with gouache and watercolor in my sketchbook.

not drawn since then (1994), maybe I should give it another go?

Ongoing series of handmade collages realised over vintage postcards.

I dont want summer to be over

Watercolor with Mijello Mission Gold and Ph Martins Bombay ink

A quick sketch of my favorite coffee bar in town, located in an old train wagon

Do you enjoy creepy and/or sad things? This entire series is basically "I was a teenage goth."

Part of a tattoo project on going to build on a portfolio. Also art therapy in the later night owl hours when the mind wants to sketch but not to think :) A perfect subject here reflects that balance and time of peace

I love Pen and Ink Doodles and this was done to make me escape from what was going on in my life at the time - It works.

Created with PH Martin’s India ink and mission gold watercolors

Created with gouache paint.

This is my friend "shar" that is always there for me as a child in Africa living in those round huts. I could talk to him, share my moments of joy, sorrows, pain, and confusion. Anywhere I go he is always there with me, he is my angel.

This is a canvas made with a page from my Route 66 travel journal. As I was creating this, the Cubs won the World Series, so I had to add the hat...we'd waited a long time to see those hats on the lions.

An illustrated poem I did as part of my drive to learn Korean. I did this, along with 40 plus other illustrated poems, in my notebook. Here is an English translation of the poem: : High Pine Close to the brook I'm looking at a high pine High pine I want to talk to you Many questions I have How many people have you seen? How many sunny days have you seen? How many rainy days have you seen? How many people's voices have you heard? How many birds' songs have you heard? High pine can you hear me? High pine can you hear me? High pine do you have any good stories? High pine do you have any good stories I will listen well Really Really Really

Another throwback of doodle on starbuck cup. Done long time ago.

Colorful Goldfish - Another watercolor sketch from my newest sketchbook. I'm using Strathmore Mixed Media 300 Series (5.5 in x 8.5 in). It has 40 sheets of 90 lb. vellum surface paper. They cost under $10 and can be used for most anything including wet media (light washes) without the paper falling apart or warping badly. One of the best all purpose sketchbooks I've found and the size makes it easy to toss in a backpack and carry daily. Anyway, just wanted to share my good experience with the group. What's your favorite sketchbook brand/format?

Painting about leaving good things behind, and not missing them. It's kind of about aging and moving on. Watercolor on paper, smaller than A3.

A small version of the year of the dog drawing I posted some time ago.

A birch plywood hexagon. Painted by hand. I wonder about the masks we wear.

This is a drawing I put on a divider in a notebook. I used to do these in school while the teacher was going on and on . . .
