It was supposed to be a blooming cherry tree but somewhere in the proccess it turned toward a scary dead tree like from Sleepy Hollow of Tim Robbins ;)

A quick sketch of a man holding a cup of coffee. This was drawn from a reference photo. Lately I've been practicing portraits. Trying to limit myself to 20 mins or so and just draw the basic form as best I can. Otherwise I'll fiddle with the details and spend hours trying to adjust things. Sketching in ink helps also since I can't erase. Need to get more comfortable sketching faster, but I like the way this turned out.

Just pen and ink

Gold fish practice

Stream of consciousness

Cactus inspired watercolor washes in my sketchbook. Kept this one very lose to see what happens. Watercolor is always full of surprises.

My doodle inspired by my home city of Belfast, Northern Ireland.

I love how typography, when selectively filled in, becomes a rhythm, a cadence, a song.

These were sketched in pencil, then gone over in ink and watercolor!

Same idea as previous dragon work but a bit difference way

Ever have one of those days when you want to pull your hair out? Here it is in black and white! I was experimenting with white ink in a journal with black pages.

I started keeping a Route 66 Journal when I traveled from Chicago to Albuquerque. I keep adding to it all along and hope to go from Albuquerque to LA this fall.

This is the converted school bus that belonged to Route 66 super sketcher Bob Waldmire (RIP). It's here at our museum, so I sketched it one day. It's an amazing studio/home on wheels!!

Millicent - Crouching Hare

doodling by the pier

This is from one of my older sketchbooks. I used salt on the red watercolor paint while it was still wet to get the textured background effect.

This was my first drawing for the Graham's Up the Tree book. I used my most trusted pen: Metal Pilot Falcon, Soft Extra Fine.

Pencil/Colored Pencils

My son asked me to design a tattoo for him and this is what I have come up with so far. I think he is going to love it! What do you think?

All you have to do is lift your chin up to encounter the most fascinating things in life. What would it take to lift up your chin and talk to the person sitting right next to you. I fear that one day we will forget the very essence of being a human.

What do you think??

Portrait of an old fisherman sketched with ink and coffee wash. Trying to experiment with some different styles and techniques.

Another doodle realised for my personal 100 Days Project.
