Morning sketch. So I was waiting for a go ahead on a 20 illo project. One of the illustrations in the project is a pair of “Chucks” so in the meantime I did a much crazier than they will be wanting version. Sometimes you just have to please yourself without all the boundaries.

Draw series of pines at Hailuoto island. There is many beautifull pines. Not a tall but quite thick and hardy stubborn trees

I didn't have my sketchbook on me.

The Toast of the Town. Too bad the weather had to turn just when things were heating up.

Grungy doodle of the day. I felt inspired to do something smudgy and decorative and colorful.

Last work of my forest animal hides serie.

There are some things I’m so grateful for in 2018 and then there was a lot of stuff that I would love to go away. So this is my farewell art. There’s nothing random in this doodle but I’ll keep most of it to myself. Let’s hope for a way better 19.

Man, I’ve been random lately. I think my mind’s eye sees stuff that normal people don’t. That might make me abnormal. I’m kinda comfortable with that. Guess who’s going to be watching some Clint Eastwood tonight?

"The Tree People" finished line work. Pen = Sailor Pro Gear, EF nib. Pilot Black ink. I love this ink... if only it was waterproof. Works well with markers though.

My Illustrated Alphabet letters were born out of a project in 2016. Each was drawn with pen & ink and each letter is illustrated with either an object, flora, fauna or wildlife that begins with that letter.

Gouache on Arches watercolor paper. I have been living overseas for 6 years now with my wife. (Originally from the states) We have lived in Seoul, South Korea, Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam, Tel Aviv, Israel, and in the Summer we will move once again to Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. So this is a painting is a sort of self-portrait.

Here is a doodle illustration that has been dumping out of my brain for a couple weeks.

Some crazy Moleskine doodles for the day. I haven’t been doing enough of these and really need to kick my butt harder. Not sure why because it’s so dang enjoyable.

To do list. I usually hate them but this one was kind of fun.

Quick illustration for the song of the White Buffalo. ”Come join the murder Come join the black” Familiar song from TV show Sons of Anarchy too

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!

Stream of consciousness drawing and doodling is always therapeutic. I love starting down a trail and not knowing where I will end up.

I got idea of how sky and sea encouter in Ying&yang

Tonight you should fall asleep with with fresh smudges of ink on your hands and fingers.

Final version of my previous sketch using silver leaf to moon. Intresting technig to use but result is not so attractive than i expect ;)

Part of a comic zine I am working on.

I did the cover art for Sankofa's new album "Glyde Drexler." Check it out at sankofa.bandcamp.com & Spotify!

Illustration inspired of Hokusai woodblock print The great wave. First a big version i draw for commission. Second one is sketchbook version i do for Inktober prompt ”wave”

Mixed media. Acrylic, pencil, digital. This is a piece from the book “Mail Me Art - Medium Without A Message” by @littlechimpsociety. I think it was the second call for entries/book.There are now 4 books filled with awesome art drawn and painted on outsides of envelopes and packages by artists all over the world who then mailed them to the UK totally exposed to the postal service. The original was all analog. I brought this into Procreate and reworked it. I may do more when I get a chance but I’m pretty satisfied with it now.

I have long been fascinated by the vision of a campfire in a dark forest and I have drawn a few versions of it with different results. This is the latest attempt
