Working life

Moving away from your hometown inspires a multitude of emotions. By taking inspiration from the atmosphere that the game Life is Strange and Steven Universe creates, I hope to convey a sense of longing and nostalgia that makes us all a little more united in our loneliness.

Another one for the hexagon series.

I have to admit that this is 90% true, please tell me I'm not the only one! From the series "quotes & random thoughts".

Camden, Maine. Getting back into making personal art after working on a huge commission these past few months.

Following the daily painting challenge with Lisa Congdon over at CreativeBug though I haven't quite managed to keep up daily. Still, it's wonderful picking the brush up again and splashing around with paint!

From post-it note to canvas. Quarantine life has got me taking some of my old doodles and turning them into paintings.

Had a wonderful morning at Perry Lake painting this scene from the harbor. The soothing harbor sounds and a flock of pelicans taking a rest on their way to Texas were my companions. Swipe for a few detail shots. Also... a bonus fly for your nature enjoyment.

Last week trip-date to Jogjakarta with my Papa and i try to doodle everything that caught me.

Rooftop mural for a new co-working space Work not Work in Saigon, Vietnam.

Part of a "wheelchair series" I've been working on since my accident that led to my paralysis about 2 years ago. Doodle therapy is super chill, y'all.

BIC ballpoint stick pen drawing on Richeson bulk drawing paper. This started as a contour drawing and just got squiggly (not the original intent). This was clipped to my board for weeks and I would add a few squiggles from time to time when I wanted to make marks, but didn't have inspiration. It's just a bit under 15 inches (12x18 inch paper) and is probably about 25 hours of making little lines and squiggles. The reference was a Dreamstime royalty-free photo.

Progression 2 of 5. Spent a lot of time working the wrinkles/creases in the shirt. Tedious, for sure.

Courage the Cowardly Dog Show , anyone ? Anyone ? Just ,me? Okay ...

Working on making my cats a little more fun. I added this guy to redbubble and he is available as a sticker and on other items.

Drawings I made for a commission of the five stages of the Walking Wall installation by Andy Goldsworthy at the Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art in Kansas City. What an inspiring journey to walk and watch it move.

This 11" x 14" bold, dynamic, geometric abstract makes a unique statement. Lines and curves, angles and shapes in stark black and white convey the arbitrary, yet methodical . . . random, yet systematic nature of the universe . . . and our lives.

So i smoked and ate and ate and ate and smoked

Come out of the cocoon, Unfurl your wings, Don't ruin your new day by thinking of yesterday, LET IT GO!

I was gifted a pad of Yupo watercolor paper. The color vibrancy is unreal! Definitely a learning curb but the results are so fun. Plus this got me painting again. Working digital is such an easy fall back, but nothing beats a brush to paper.

02/20 20 days, 20 films that made an impact on me. No title, no comment, just a picture. In my case, a drawing. Daily drawing #620 #imaginarythinking #illustration #comic
