hat

A postcard sized sketch that will be mailed to my mom in assisted living.

It’s a trip, seeing beyond what you know.

I was on break at work and was inspired by the song playing on the radio “Chandelier “ by the multi- talented Artist, Sia. Her powerful voice is one which usually gets my attention wherever I happen to be. Enjoy

A large drawing ive been doodling on for around a month here and there whatcha people think?

Ready for that world tour

When the toddler won’t leave the stove alone. (Not that he can read yet.)

WHIP IT GOOD. This ode to Devo was drawn with fountain pen ink run through brush markers. The watercolor effect was me running a wet brush through parts to make the fountain pen ink lift and pool. If you want more Leah Fun™, be sure to check out instagram Super_Starling!

Sometimes in life you've gotta draw a genie that's based on Lady GaGa. Don't blame me. Blame the inevitability of existence. This was ink and watercolor with a bit of assistance from Photoshop.

I went to the museum and started sketching some of the masks and things that were in there..

Doodling my faces, this time on a piece of wood from a pallet. Re-cycling! Used watercolors and colored pencils, Carved out some spots to add dimension.

These ones are about my darkest, pathetic thoughts. I'm really sorry that they're Turkish again :(

This doodle name tag is meant for my friend Caren, Every items that appears inside is her most favourite lucky items of all.

What you see?

Gonna be a pendant and a ring :) What do you think?

My first doodle @ doodle addicts. Found 5 - 15 minutes several times each day of 4 days...that's life for now. I'm far from complaining.

I honestly think it was the most boring class that I have EVER taken!!!

Pencil Drawing

It’s Good to be King, if just for a while. I draw in my notes for work every day. It helps me digest the things that are said in meetings. In the case, it simply divided one topic from another. I color in the drawings later or the next day, which helps me recall my notes and it is peaceful.

The purple socks that went missing

A colorful doodle study of my urban backyard. Homage to a 20+ year old delicious apple tree that is no longer part of the view. Artwork done in Procreate.

He is on the street walking... What is his name? I don't know. He is holding flowers and a black umbrella. Where is he going? I'm not quite sure. Maybe to somebody or maybe to somewhere. Made with Oil Pastels

There was a royal lineage in Europe that was so inbred that their jaws started getting really distended and weird. Like Jay Leno, but inbred. (I'm going to give him the benefit of the doubt.) Feel free to look up the Hapsburgs. I'll wait. The second picture is a Fiji mermaid and a merman. I think I want a merman tattoo. SMOLDER.

Some times you get that feeling of a SCREAM, you feel of a deep anger or a boiling volcano that needs to explode from inside in a rage and vigorous manner

I wanted the eyes to look real and the rest of her to be more abstract. Made of shapes, patterns and colors. Inner shapes and forms that we see if we look at a person closely.

All the elements were drawn by hand, with Prismacolor markers used to create what would be vastly contrasting tones after b/w conversion. The composition and b/w conversion were done in Adobe Photoshop. © 2016 Joe Blend. All rights reserved

This is an envelope that I created inspired by How to train Your Dragon series

Just a random doodle that happened over a cup of coffee.

This is a reindeer for Christmas which I drew. I experimented with cross-hatching with a ball-point pen. Merry Christmas!

That one time I thought it would be a good idea to coat my lips with black ink and kiss the paper. Regretted it for the next 3 hours walking about feeling like a goth.
