Here we have some very fancy European history folks, a creature that might be a dummy, and Harry Potter as a nervous waiter who can't remember if you got diet or regular soda. Because, let's face it, Harry was never THAT good at magic.

Playing with some experimental media while drawing from life with my students last spring. Gearing up for new sessions in a couple weeks.

4th portrait from the collection “Women of the word”

This doodle is based off Norman Rockwell’s The Tattoo Artist and pairs with the blog I wrote about how I think our society needs to change the words we use to describe love. ❤️ “ Love is a collaborative work of art.” https://princess2dutchess.wordpress.com/2018/02/04/loneliness/

Part of the '1 drawing a day' challenge - drawn on 04/06/17

a cute sketch I did

Whimsical assortment of colors and doodles in a checkerboard pattern. Bordered in black and white boxes.

Nerded out at the Kennedy Space Center last summer. Here are a few of the sketches.

This drawing is from the '1 drawing a day challenge'. My work usually incorporates my signature little bird.

Second from „Women of the World „ Series .... Beautiful girl from the great city of Düsseldorf in Germany

Acrylic, pencil

All the elements were drawn by hand, with Prismacolor markers used to create what would be vastly contrasting tones after b/w conversion. The composition and b/w conversion were done in Adobe Photoshop. © 2016 Joe Blend. All rights reserved

Sometimes all you need is a good hug
