hi

My mother actually used to say this to me and my brothers when we asked her to do something while she was in the midst of doing something else...Magic marker, then worked in Photoshop.

Yep, still not Robert Crumb, ay? Loose-leaf notebook, marker

A prime example of why I never became the next Robert Crumb....High school, late 1970's

At this point in time this was a damn good drawing of one of my hapless algebra teachers. I actually remember doing it in class since paying attention never mattered much for me anyway. Good guy.

This might actually be a pen and ink with a quill....

Another half-assed attempt at doing SOMETHING "underground- like". Meh. Magic marker on sketchbook paper. (I still like the name, though.) Late 70's...

A first an questionably worthwhile attempt at pointillism. 18x24 illustration board with technical pen and probably some magic marker.

The dark side is strong with this one again.

Something spontaneous(ish), as usual.

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.

I am a cat on the internet. Now you humans can adore me. ♠️

This shambling creature haunts the fetid marshlands and is a protector of the birds and beasts who reside there. He's ancient, the last of his kind and a gentle soul who would much rather hide under the sticky mud than come face to face with a stranger.

Black and white sketch with some red in it.

Watercolor on Aquarelle. This piece is incredibly close to my heart. It closely resembles the emotions that I was going through when I painted it. I tried to replicate the numbness and the restlessness that I felt in the eyes.

Princess Mononoke fanart.

I created my studio with doodles. This is now the set for aTV series for kids that I host.

I've started a new mixed media sketchbook. Which is often times unexplainably daunting. To get over it I just dive in with lots of color. Then the fun begins.

Ink on paper.

Sketchbook, coffee and ink and more time to observe nature around us...

Pencil drawing of a rabbit.

The night is alright.

Ballpoint and white ink on found paper.

The sketchbook doodle that turned into something special. To this day, it’s still one of my favourite drawings. Pencil, Charcoal Pencil, Pastel Pencils on 9” x 12” Strathmore Archival Sketchbook Paper.

Working on tan paper. If you'd like to see my process there's a video of me painting this over on my Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k9jc-09Sjzs

It's been awhile and I kinda miss going to supermarket leisurely choosing snacks.
