hi

It’s Chinese New Year today. So on that note, happy new year to you all! 恭喜发财!

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

I've been practicing drawing portraits for a few days now. This is from a session I did over lunch where I was just messing around trying a few different things.

I do these in alcohol inks but I have pages and pages of doodles in B/W and Colored Pencil or Markers in my sketch books of these far away things....oteresa

Sometimes, my demons inspire me in a weird way.

I often hear music in my dreams. In this case, it was ‘Babylon’ by Oneohtrix Point Never (a.k.a. Daniel Lopatin, for those unaware). I had to respond in the best way possible of course!

"Contemplation of the Jump" - drawn & colored in Escape Motions Rebelle. My drawings are pretty random, but after I make them I think about them a bit... like... what is that girl in that cave room thinking and why is he going to jump? I should probably know the answers... but I don't.

Recents. And riffs on the elf thing.

Here's a sketch of the Osprey Pens Pen Factory, drawn with an Osprey Milano 5.5 Flexpert Hourglass nib using Noodlers Black Ink. Great pen!

Thinking ahead, as you do.

Even if it is (in my case at the least) just doodling away to the point of allsorts in the hopes it’ll make at least one person a) happy b) perked or c) amused, do good and be good in wake of the current shitstorms in the making. More for another day...

For the love of Frankie

Twinkle, a beautiful ginger tabby.

Overheard the title for this while out with some friends this past weekend. Fun times so they were...

It's 2019 and I am thankful for family, turkey dinner, and Rebelle 3! This Thanksgiving holiday I'm teaching my boys how to draw in Rebelle. They've watched me for years but they're finally old enough to draw on the Cintiq. They're going to love it. Artist friends, check out the Rebelle 3 demo if you haven't already! Happy Holidays!

I was testing a Rotring Rapid Pro 2mm and this came out. Inked with a burgundy Custom 743 EF, an underrated workhorse of a pen.

I know it’s a little early to start thinking about the next decade, but I needed the inspiration...

Drawn with a black metal Falcon SB. Pilot Black ink on Strathmore series 400 marker paper. Color coming next.

This is a new character I'm working on for an illustration class. Doing it with a black background makes me think about it a little different.

For believers in everything spiritual and all that jazz.

Me and a few close friends in a cryptic nutshell.

Inktober “Husky.” I’ve lost track of the days at this point, so I'll just Inktober through November.
