Noh Doubt About It: I drew 20 masks today.

An hour drive in the passenger seat means an hour for me to fill the page with lines, shapes and shadows

We are all out there in the digital world, no points of hiding anymore

Some foods are messy; even Kings acknowledge the need to bib it up to protect one's favorite t-shirts. Not sure if the thing on his head is a crown, a headdress, or hair.

These are the first of the collage set. I like the later ones a little better but they're sort of interesting and fun anyway.

I took the skulls of monkeys/apes I'd drawn about a year ago and incorporated them into some new collages that include mandalas I did about a month or two ago. Cutting, cutting, cutting, paper everywhere. I'm a huge mess. The second one is Billy / Jigsaw from Saw!

Created with PH Martin’s India ink and mission gold watercolors

My submission for custome culture competition by Vans Shoe.

Quick portrait of Laura Marling in Procreate

Created with gouache paint.

Sometimes in life you've gotta draw a genie that's based on Lady GaGa. Don't blame me. Blame the inevitability of existence. This was ink and watercolor with a bit of assistance from Photoshop.

Another doodle realised for my personal 100 Days Project. Doodle inspired by an Arctic Monkey song.

Sometimes I like to take ink splats and try to figure out what they are. Could there possibly be anything better than "crab dab"?

"Potato digger", watercolour and ink on paper, 210mm x 148mm(A5). Tiny painting made on my break from a bigger project I'm working on. The whole thing sprouted from a sketch of my small potato plant. Anyone else feels sorry for their patatoes when they sprout too much and plants them? The plants are so pretty, too!

Nero extra soft oil based pencil is a great doodling and sketching tool that I have been using for a couple of years. Not smudgy and delivers good lines.

Here are several steps in the process of making a particularly complex pattern and some color variations.
