Painted Zip disk. Mixed media. I love old retro stuff and found rejected objects. It's hard to believe how fast zip, floppy, jaz, etc. disks became yesterdays technology. It's about time these old disks found a new purpose and some respect.

Ghost Circle. Drawn using a Platinum 3776 Century SF with Noodlers 41 Brown ink. Painted with Prima Watercolor "Decadent Pies."

Here's a floppy disk I recently painted. I love bringing old, discarded and forgotten stuff back to life.

Next sketch one from my travelling sketchbook 2016 made this summer, this time from a very short; but exiting stay in Berlin. Our van in from of our friend's house, which was going through a lot of reparations and where I painted a big mural :) Enjoy

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

"Planet Peace" 7x10" inktense/india ink I sketched this out last year, detailed and painted it this morning. :)

A koi fish I painted while I was in Malaysia last year.

Painted cover of the sketchbook I usually draw portraits in.

I painted HP Lovecraft and Edgar Allan Poe in order to spook up Halloween. I'll probably do Stephen King, too, at some point, and maybe Shirley Jackson. Anyone have any other favorite horror novelists?

Made this morning for the friend that gave me the 60 y/o Russian watercolors. Painted with those paints and inked in white.

Animals on the move - this is a doodle painted in acrylics. I start by throwing colours down, then look for something to make into an element. It all takes about as long as a drawn doodle does and there is no prior plan and I do not do any drawing at all!

I painted Iggy Pop

Mural recently painted in Oklahoma City for Plaza Walls mural expo.

"Jungle Cat" Drawn with a Pilot Falcon SEF using Platinum Carbon Ink and painted with Holbein watercolors.

Painted an old piece of wood that was laying around after a kitchen project.

Doodled and painted canvas floor cloth. You will find step-by-step instructions on my blog here: http://dharmakarmaarts.blogspot.com/2017/02/diy-painted-and-doodled-canvas-floor.html

I watercolored Mathilda's Ms Trunchbull as well as Bride of Frankenstein. I originally painted Lady Frankenstein in green, but it turns out she's a human-skinned person, so I had to change that in Photoshop.

Watercolor on Aquarelle. This piece is incredibly close to my heart. It closely resembles the emotions that I was going through when I painted it. I tried to replicate the numbness and the restlessness that I felt in the eyes.

Orange painted in watercolour.

Mandala painted on rock.

Not a terribly good piece, but I had fun drawing it. It is a take on the Spirit of '76, originally painted by Archibald Willard. I did it upon request, but I did not charge anything. I think it would have been better in color.

This was drawn with a Japanese fountain pen, Japanese ink, and painted with Japanese watercolor. To be specific - I used Holbein watercolor and Platinum Carbon Black in a Pilot Falcon. This trio is perfect for me.

Even monsters have feelings. No one wants the good times to end.

I found a cute white ceramic piggy bank in a charity shop and painted it up with alcohol inks. So much fun, I love upcycling stuff!
