Day 2 of Mabs Drawlloween Club: Black Cat

Expose yourself

"Oh my gawwwwd, I have a friend that you'd be SO CUTE WITH," your friends gush. So you go, but, uh, he's not what you expected -- and you're not what he expected either. (Has this happened to you?)

Pen and ink line drawing

A commissioned piece of original artwork for a client that I drew which incorporates various elements of strength (as chosen by the client). It also illustrates that even in dark times a light will come shining through.

Head #40 of my 100 Heads.

Come check out my page, it’ll be fun....#embracingnightmares

Playing around with walnut ink and watercolors.

Some new analog work. Been using Procreate too much :)

I spent a chunk of my New Years break rendering masks in ink and watercolor. I can't get over their shapes and the emotionality of them.

I think that sometimes 'waiting' is the hardest thing to do. If you have a place to hang your coat and you have a rich inner life, you will be fine waiting. I was waiting to be seen by my doctor. A general check-up. The prognosis is that I am getting older and I need to lose weight. OK then. Thank you.

Video games and bees, because why not?

Post Samhuinn, and I’m back at it!

The product of killing time with some beer, wings and of course, doodling away.

A little thanks to the works of Ariel Pink for this one. If you’re anything like I am, grooves like his always get you through your creative process

Casey the Puppet. This painting captures the essence of a puppet lots of older Canadians will remember. A strange genderless creature with a dog puppet companion. A puppet with an outspoken personality that I remember as a kid wondering how it got away with saying what it did. The painting has a Canadian stamp to commemorate the puppet's roots.

Part of my personal project of #1111DaysOfArt, where I explore and create something every day for 1111 days. All of these are from a watercolour instruction book I followed along. It is from a Chinese artist called Zhu Qu.

An image for an upcoming film. Stay tuned for more details. Ink and gouache on paper. A3. For Sale.

I've been spending a lot more time on Pinterest and a lot less time outside

And that's the secret to the cooking here at home.
