Fool in the Rain

A transmundane Tuesday prompt by Carson Ellis (with a serpent tail, in a hat, smoking a pipe). https://www.instagram.com/p/B8NSotBh5I2/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link

Pen and ink drawing of the buildings on the Graslei in Ghent (Belgium).

Carriage horse w/ tack done in pencil. Finally finished it! Let me know what you think (and if you have any suggestion for my next project)!

'Another adventure', night sketch, ink and coffee

Fish. Trying to find a better angle to show more details.

Done on the iPad using procreate. Therapeutic meditative doodling.

Still reeling from that fire; totally unnecessary. Cover and inside illustration from my book, The Moth and the Sun.

But first coffee

It's ok to not make sense. It's ok to not follow a pattern. It's ok to be the odd one out. Life is too beautiful, too amazing, to eccentric, too weird to fit inside someone else's tiny little box of an opinion about you. Break free out of that and live your life on your terms.

Just a witch looking for love.

Small drawing, made with posca and fineliner

Illustration made with handcarved stamps.

Around The Table. pen, ink, colored pencil and watercolor on Arches 140 gram hot press paper.

The first page of my sketchbook #3. Akiyo Noguchi - a japanese rock climber, bronze medalist of 2020 Summer Olympics in Tokyo.

I have dragged this typewriter around for more than 50 years. I found it in an antique store when I was in college. It's still fully useable, except that it's REALLY hard to find ribbons. Basically, it's just another object to dust. But it is a beautifully made object. The basic shapes and perspective were blocked in with a 2H pencil, then I used a Sakura 005 micron pen to do the contour drawing.

This is how you have the cake and eat it too. https://www.instagram.com/p/CXef5Nnpkuy/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link

Sketch n watercolor. More sketch than watercolor.

Stippling practice of a horse eye and piece of bridle.

My first attempt at cross-hatching with ink.

Portrait practice. Used reference photo of Sakaguchi Kentaro https://sparklesby-me.tumblr.com/post/180692882506/sakaguchi-kentaro-for-elle-japan-jan2019

A quick group portrait I made to try making a timelapse of the process. The timelapse is posted to my instagram account. This time, I used brown and yellow bister ink on watercolor paper. Normally I paint the monsters themselfves, but now I used negative painting to create them.
