Charcoal and iron oxide recovered from acid mine drainage on watercolor paper

It's cool how the internet can bring people together from far away places to make things. "Graham's Up the Tree" is based on a true story from the life of author mbpardy ... He's in Australia - I'm in Seattle area. When he posts these images at his page I see comments from people who grew up with real life versions of these characters I drew -- People that actually looked out the window and saw this little guy high up at the top of a tree... where no one else could go.

For these Grahams Up the Tree drawings I used a Pilot Custom 823 with FA nib. This pen is legendary. It has a very soft nib and a giant vacuum filled tank of ink so you can write and draw for days.

Working on making my cats a little more fun. I added this guy to redbubble and he is available as a sticker and on other items.

Morning sketch. So I was waiting for a go ahead on a 20 illo project. One of the illustrations in the project is a pair of “Chucks” so in the meantime I did a much crazier than they will be wanting version. Sometimes you just have to please yourself without all the boundaries.

Three kings stopped a walking man to ask advice about their dreams. But the man said, "Oh no please, I don't want to hear these things." "I have dreams of my own although they'll never come to pass... I just work my life away while all you rich guys sit and laugh."

Here's my second sketch for this book cover. This one will be scanned and colored. I drew it with my Pilot Custom 823 fountain pen.

Morning doodle. It's hard to get anything else when doodling is near the top of the list. Not that I'm complaining. ;)

This image was drawn as part of a pattern piece for fabric in the Liberty style. Originally drawn in pen and ink.

I was pretty much done with this Jane, but she hadn't told me what she was saying yet. Then my 18 year old daughter came in, and nervously said "Mom...I did a thing..." She proceeded to show me her freshly tattooed fingers. Suddenly, Jane spoke...

Was just hanging out with my wife and son in the living room last night and this spilled into my Moleskine.

My husband has a chronic illness and frequently spends weeks in the hospital. I have been doodling each day while sitting with him and many of them reflect my thoughts at the time. Often appearing are desperation, hope, frustration, sarcasm, fear.

Drawn while waiting for my kid's haircut & inked at home with my Platinum 3776 Century UEF.

My fav things to doodle

Platinum's 3776 Century nib is even bigger than Pilot's 912 nib. Used both on this little boom box pizza party.

Just another day of struggling with it. Motivation feeling quite a bit dry, even if my brain is overactive with ideas. Decided to just say "screw it" and went with this doodle.

I drew this display of various moths for no real reason at all. Other than I love them! Artwork by me! www.janelledimmett.com

A playful image of a huge tower of hot cakes so big it bends twice, toped with butter and maple syrup.

I drew this mechanical horse. I had this idea of making my favorite animal with gears and plates and all kinds of weird stuff. Eventually it grew into this large drawing. Mechanical Horse - Mixed Media (Ink and Procreate) - Janelle Dimmett 2026 - www.janelledimmett.com
