Two girls I doodled some time ago, and now turned into these two pages in one of my journals

These are just a few of my own Handmade Journals I love to work in.

I try to do my Yoga Practice every morning, but I still am not as flexible and good as my little drawn Yogi's, ^_^.

This page, in one of my own handmade journals, I made after my surgery for Colon Cancer. And I get a lot of comfort from Yana, my sweet cat.

Nature is where you become a true you, it's a place to disconnect from the world and to feel so connected to it at the same time.

This is the book I made which contains the educational paper I wrote and illustrated about my trip to China in the summer of 2017. I gave a lecture entitled, The Sketchbook: Let's Connect at ICON10, The Illustration Conference in Detroit, MI this past July. I gave a few of these books out along with pocket sketchbooks to the audience. Below are a few spreads from the 40-page book.

These ones are about my darkest, pathetic thoughts. I'm really sorry that they're Turkish again :(

This serie is about my trip to Bologna. I'm so sorry they're Turkish :(

Moments of reflection on scraps of paper.

Another face in my journal that has black paper.

Went to another city by train with lead time about 3 hours & sketched inside the train

This page includes a sketch I made pulled over on the road near Pontiac, IL, a shield I stamped using a stamp I carved (pretty crude , but still works!), and some stickers I had made of sketches of other things in the area.

This is a canvas made with a page from my Route 66 travel journal. As I was creating this, the Cubs won the World Series, so I had to add the hat...we'd waited a long time to see those hats on the lions.

I was travelling two weeks ago, the train moved fast, so the only thing outside the train stable enough to be sketched was the sky.
