This tired elf has been working too many hours. This is how I've been feeling with a toddler and a newborn...

How I feel before the first sip... second pic is my daughter’s coffee painting - she seems to have followed her stream of consciousness better than me

Narwhals it seems, and I’m sure I’ve said this before, are a perfect remedy for art blocks I'd say. Wasn’t going anywhere last night, that is until I gave things another go and this fellow here saved the day!

We weren’t getting enough social interaction in our quarantined space, so we decided to make another person, coming soon! This is my family as cats.

some colorful blooms

Nye Beach archway here in sunny Newport, Oregon. Here are some Nye Beach regulars to greet you, give you flowers, and take you to lunch. Welcome!

This happy whale just floats around feeling fine.

This new patient is kind of a prick.

I think I've used this festive hangover as an excuse for (what seems) a little too long now, hahahaha! Back to business...

Merry Xmas from Santa

Markers on green paper, it's the back of a letter, didn't realize it would be so flimsy! Oh well, just a quick one.

Monster meets a flower for the first time.

This is a cheerful little owl that I drew and printed on some cards for gifts to friends. Micron pen and Prismacolor markers.

I had something bum me out a little bit today. Nobody’s fault but it is what it is. So I decided to draw this up. I’m ready for fall and fall beers! I love to sit out under the moon once the temperature drops a bit and have some marzen lagers and other fall drinks. I felt like this captured the moment perfectly. I am excited for music fest in @havertownlife havertown tomorrow. I heard @levantebrewing will be pouring at brick and brew so I’ll be there sucking back some suds. I’m glad I forced myself to learn #adobeillustrator I’ve come a long way. Since then I have been able to help other artists that don’t use Illustrator or vectors and I am pretty proud of that, because when I was in their place it always felt like a huge struggle.

For these Grahams Up the Tree drawings I used a Pilot Custom 823 with FA nib. This pen is legendary. It has a very soft nib and a giant vacuum filled tank of ink so you can write and draw for days.

Cute critters and kitchen goods form a unique pattern.

I had this bizarre dream recently that I saw some maniac driving in circles around my neighbourhood in what looked like a Reliant Robin, ready to crash into whatever they could at any given moment… yes, my mind (awake or asleep) works in weird ways but it gives me ideas so, hurray?

My only niece's 1st birthday was a few days ago. I decided to start a tradition of drawing her every year for her birthday as special uncle presents. Here is her first one. Her favorite movie right now is Monsters University

'tis all but a dream here...

I use to take students to museums. COVID has altered much. We adjust now. So much is virtual.

Strange friends connected through love and understanding.

One last drawing before 2021 draws to a close... There may come a day when I don’t get inspiration from Wings Of Desire, but today’s not one of them (tomorrow’s not looking good either), hehehe. Happy new year when it comes my friends!
