THE BOOK from Stories for Nighttime and Some for the Day by Ben Loory. "THE WOMAN RETURNS FROM THE STORE WITH AN armload of books. She reads them quickly, one by one, over the course of the next few weeks. But when she opens the last one, the woman frowns in surprise. All the pages in the book are blank. Every single one. The woman takes the book back to the store, but the manager won’t let her return it. Right there on the cover, the manager says, This book has no words and is non-returnable." https://www.instagram.com/p/Cf61DnhO1NL/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link

This is a little practice run with faces, all drawn from my head without sketching in pencil first.

Sakura Pigma Micron pen and DR PH Martin Radiant Concentrated Watercolors. One side was painted, then embellished with ink, scanned into Photoshop, copied, flipped and pasted to make the two sides. (Fairly large image, so I included a couple of details.) Silly but fun to do. A little "acid" and a few hours of gazing is all you need for a profound experience. Ask me how I know.

Watercolor and ink …done as a gift for a friend who lost her husband recently and he raised horses

Look familiar? This drawing was inspired by the film Hellraiser.

This was another tree doodle done with an ink dip pen.

For this series, I'm trying to hone my beginner skills by focusing on the architecture of each strange creature through reference photos, while also using it as a log for interesting animal facts.

Beginning. “No means no!” Dudley thought to himself. https://www.instagram.com/p/CQJxPD4h7d4/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link

Beginning A new kid showed up to play today. They strolled up the hill and around the tree and then they were right there. https://www.instagram.com/p/CPnwYxQhHQ0/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link

Many beginnings. Beginning 12. The voice of the teacher was low and soothing. The air was warm and smelled of butterfly dust and buttered toast. * Starting is easy, it's the middle that is often a muddle. And I won't even mention the endings. Here are some beginnings for children stories that flitter through my head. https://www.instagram.com/p/CPJXmYBBi-m/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link

Many beginnings. Beginning 9. You should know this - all waters are connected. * Starting is easy, it's the middle that is often a muddle. And I won't even mention the endings.
