Just a quick doodle to jot a note on and leave on somebody's keyboard. (So they know I'm gone)

Notebook paper sketch

Final piece for upcoming show at AS220 in Providence, RI. Based on doodles I did in my grad school notebooks...

This sketchbook is my therapist. Not this one specifically, but any single one small enough to fit in my pocket. I tell it everything, from quirky thoughts and funny notes to abstract concepts, drawings and positive reminders. Keep it analog folks… a doodle, sketch, writing, poem, or scribble every day helps to keep the brain fit and the thoughts flowing. ✏️

Meetings can be boring sometimes...

I found this old doodle of mine. Like many others, it came from astronomy. It too is available as a print on my art sites. They are the first five buttons at this link: https://linktr.ee/okhismakingart

Three line drawings of leaves on Guarro paper, 6x9 inches. I later vectorised the gingko leaf and made it into a digital pattern.

Observations from an expedition to the Houston Museum of Natural Science, which features an incredible paleontology hall. I brought with me a pad of sticky notes, a couple Micron plastic nib pens, a set of Copic Markers, my fanny pack, and some headphones. Prehistoric life has been an infatuation of mine since childhood, and there is something very humbling about drawing in the shadows of these fallen giants.

Watercolor koi fish on yellow posted notes with her face outlined with ink.

(B grade pencil on 125mm x 75mm notecard) Another dreamscape image. With this one, I decided to pick out points of detail whilst having the rest shaded in the background. It works well, even with minimum elements highlighted.

Doodled on a Samsung note 4. (Maybe I should look for a new phone)

Doodles and notes I started at a regional NJ chapter of SCBWI conference this past weekend. Then just kept adding stuff to the page this week. I learned a lot and met some great people. Looking forward to June!
