ink

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

Inspiration from Jefferson Airplanes awesome song White Rabbit. This is kind of older and shabby version than in book

"Nothing says tranquility like a cup of Oolong Tea." Inktober Day 3. Roasted.

So, I really wasn't going to participate in inktober this year because of time constraints. But I saw some simple line art stuff from others that looked fun. I'll see how far I can make it this year.

My first submission to inktober 2018 on day 5. I'm not sure if I will make up days 1-4. It all depends on a wonderful thing called time. Arrrrgh!

Nothing beats an unusual dream that inspires you. plus some Star Wars inspiration!

Quite often I’ll get ambushed with flyers and the like whilst out and about. Thankfully, I have use for said materials.

Day 1, Inktober 2018. "Poisonous" Drawn with a Pilot Falcon SEF using Noodlers American Eel ink.

Standing on a block (while two men sit up top), The horse is deep in thought, wondering "Where can we walk?" He's distraught 'cause he knows that there is nowhere to go, And it does no good to tell them, they'll just say "I told you so."

Horse Block. Inked with a Pilot Custom 823 FA. (Bonus detail from a 3776 Century UEF.)

I think I'm getting the hang of painting florals with gouache. It helped to decide on a palette and pre-mix the colors.

All this and possibly some other things.

An ode to one more fresh start.

"Floaty Boat Waves In" -- Another WIP detail shot. You can see the magic of Rebelle in these close up shots... bringing the fountain penned ink to life with color.

New drawing drawn with my Sailor Fresca Tangerine 1911s F fountain pen. Ink = Noodlers Black American Eel. Color coming next.

"It's Pandolin Coraflot, riding the most anatomically correct horse ever drawn." Ink drawing colored with Paintstorm Studio & Photoshop.

When you still have some energy left over from a creative marathon that happened the night before...

Four Tet's good for my creativity, no doubt about it.

I had something bum me out a little bit today. Nobody’s fault but it is what it is. So I decided to draw this up. I’m ready for fall and fall beers! I love to sit out under the moon once the temperature drops a bit and have some marzen lagers and other fall drinks. I felt like this captured the moment perfectly. I am excited for music fest in @havertownlife havertown tomorrow. I heard @levantebrewing will be pouring at brick and brew so I’ll be there sucking back some suds. I’m glad I forced myself to learn #adobeillustrator I’ve come a long way. Since then I have been able to help other artists that don’t use Illustrator or vectors and I am pretty proud of that, because when I was in their place it always felt like a huge struggle.

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

Drawn with a Sailor/Wancher Turquoise 1911L. The M nib on this pen comes to a sharp point which allows for some line variation not from flex but based on how deep the firm nib digs into the watercolor paper. The Noodlers Black ink is a little dry and that contributes to this effect.

...having fun with these seasonal colors.

Today's cut-up fest, inspired by the works of Anthony Burgess and Stanley Kubrick.

*writes a few words, masticates a few more he found reading Doctor Who books* An ode to the more saccharine yet saltier tasting things in life. Faff and fluff aside, find your own meaning folks.
