painting

ink drawing coloured and finished digitally.

I saw a man outside the library wearing a crown nestled into his cowboy hat. He was speaking swiftly, seemingly to himself, possibly freestyle rapping. Probably crazy. Then I drew some saints and stuff around him. I suspect he could use some assistance, perhaps spiritual.

Watercolour and ink fantasy doodle landscape

This drawing looks a bit like one of those "how are you feeling?" hospital charts. It starts out okay ("smiling cat", "drunk pirate"), and descends into full Lovecraftian Horror. I was driving toward a local town known for its unpleasant yokels, which probably explains the progression. Today, for the record, I'm 75% Apathetic Lumberjack, 5% glassy-eyed cat, and 20% Vampire Waluigi.

A little quick study, of layering a lot of different watercolors, with the help of a blowdryer

Painting digitally to warming my figures up.

A series I did a few years ago. Me myself and I.

I wanted to draw a twisted figure falling.

Quick gouache sketch of pup

Here we have some very fancy European history folks, a creature that might be a dummy, and Harry Potter as a nervous waiter who can't remember if you got diet or regular soda. Because, let's face it, Harry was never THAT good at magic.

A happy horse dances across a tiled floor. Gouache in the iPad Pro. Prints of this are available in my store.

This one was fun. I was using drawing ink on palette paper to paint this one. Then I dropped my palette paper ON my drawing. Instead of deciding I messed it up, I used the palette paper to 'finish' the background. :)

This is an old OC of mine that I drew to experiment with gouache paint.

I’ve finished my biggest painting so far.. the painting is going to hang in a hair salon

Over the course of a few months, I got to work with Good Karma For All on what you might consider a "passion project". The job consisted of freehand painting murals on every single (large) wall and hand-lettering inspirational quotes all over the inside and outside of the building.
