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.

Holbein watercolors and Noodlers 41 Brown ink on 6"x8" Strathmore mixed-media paper. Drawn with a Pilot Custom 823 loaded with an extra-fine nib.

'Lucky' Such a beautiful face to draw...nearly done!

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.

customised old teli for my doodle room exhibition.

Sandy is a dreamer. Her favorite dream is the beach. Doodling on iPadPro with Procreate.

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.

"What's the Buzz"? Bringing old, discarded and forgotten stuff back to life!

The lovely Leo. Drawn with 0.93 and 0.05 fineliners on smooth A4 cartridge.

Gorgeous little pug, another recent commission. Drawn using 0.03 and 0.05 black fineliners on medium cartridge paper.

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

Neil was the first author whose words I first fell in love with.

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.

I recently discovered the Wimmelbilder subreddit and created this illustration to celebrate. Colored using Rebelle by Escape Motions

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!

I'm going to paint this guy onto an egg next Easter. Ink & watercolor on 5x5 Arches cold press.

It's 2019 and I am thankful for family, turkey dinner, and Rebelle 3! This Thanksgiving holiday I'm teaching my boys how to draw in Rebelle. They've watched me for years but they're finally old enough to draw on the Cintiq. They're going to love it. Artist friends, check out the Rebelle 3 demo if you haven't already! Happy Holidays!

Another commission...love her little tongue hanging out!

Another commission....loving doing these.

Nature is where you become a true you, it's a place to disconnect from the world and to feel so connected to it at the same time.
