hi

This #inktober I decided to focus on environmental issues. Because every life is #precious let's think about all that illegal logging.

Inktober 2018, day 8 - star | Faber-Castell pitt pen (size XS) on A5 paper

Just for fun!

Watercolors and fineliners on Aquarelle, 300 GSM. Fantasy has always appealed to me ever since I was a kid, and I often find myself lost and wandering around in the fantastical world of "could've been's"

For Inktober this year, I am following along with Lisa Congdon’s CreativeBug course. I’ve made a few extra rules for myself for an extra challenge which includes trying to maintain a mostly black and white theme. Excited to see where it takes me.

Did you know that 94% of witches could have prevented injuries by stretching before cursing?

Playing with the format of the envelope, and making some mail extra fun!

I thought of Edward Hopper when I came upon this view but a daytime version of his corner etching. I used watercolor, pen, and colic markers

This image was created to be a limited print to go along with my new book, 10 Years of Daily Drawings.

A few of my favorite pages from my sketchbook documenting my trip to China in the summer of 2017. An amazing and life changing experience.

FANTASTIC! Posca Pens on Rock #allymadethis

Lindsey's present for Valentine's Day. She loves to read fantasy novels so I put her in one.

I am pleased with the way this came out

Just having fun. Lindsey loves her vampire and werewolf shows haha I did my own spin on it

So cute. I did this for a whimsical winter painting challenge at Escapemotion/Rebelle

I finally had time to sit down to do this one for a friend. She owns a pizza shop and asked for something to hang in the place.

As Halloween and Samhuinn fast approaches…

A special commission for a Christmas present, drawn on A3 medium cartridge using 0.03, 0.05 and 0.1 fine liners. This was a bit different for me but I loved it so much! Took about 28 hours in total.

I love creating work that starts from a point in nature and develops into something more abstract, something that can be interpreted in many different ways. It’s interesting to hear what people see, what connection to their own life they bring when viewing a work.
