lettering

A couple of pages from my 2017 art journal. Lots of random thoughts and doodles!

I have many forms of meditation, or at least a moment of total peace where mind is absolutely clear - and sketching is one of them!

Part of a personal project I'm working on right now, to experiment with unfamiliar art styles and practice lettering skills by drawing animals. I enjoyed this foray into digital mosaic (or fauxsaic as I've seen it called).

When your own son calls you anonymous, you probably don’t exist. He likes to be funny on greeting cards. Hahaa! Usually my doodles are a one to two day thing. I continued adding to this one over a period of a couple weeks. Life has been a blur lately. It feels good to be able to post something again.

True Like. Because everything on the internet is true, right?

Art blister suffered after hours of lettering.

I've been thinking about visual tension recently and making things more interesting with contrast and depth. I am learning!

My attempt at fancy lettering. Despite the fact that 'k' isn't in any part of my name, it is one of the more interesting letters, in my opinion. Just a simple and quick piece...

L is for lemons is my first attempt at bringing my realistic style and lettering together.

⚡Flash Back Friday⚡ Going back to a blackbook doodle from a few years ago. Why am I showing you this? Because graffiti art is, and has been, one of my greatest influences (aside from M.C. Escher). It is an art form I love, and I gain much inspiration from the graffiti scene (legal and illegal). I don’t really show this side of my art to the world, but it is fun for me to create, and it definitely informs my other pieces of work.
