pen and ink

Drawing by ink on paper.

Companion picture to yesterday's post-- the other mood I am in :-). Sheaffer Tuckaway fountain pen, Hero blue black ink.

Ok, I promise the next one will be cute.

Tell that do you will do. "English as She is Spoke" is a delightful example of incompetence and bad judgement. Jose da Fonseca and Pedro Carolina set out to write a Portuguese-English phrasebook. The only problem was that they didn't speak any English. They did know some French and armed with French-English phrasebook, dictionaries and enthusiasm they brought forth this phrasebook. Mark Twain was an early admirer of this book. "Nobody can add to the absurdity of this book, nobody can imitate it successfully, nobody can hope to produce its fellow; it is perfect, it must and will stand alone: its immortality is secure." https://www.instagram.com/p/CIipkwDB0AG/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link

where am I? + hidden for all to see.

An old watercolour sketch with lines from Padraig Pearse's poem "The Fool". Watercolour and ink

Made with pen, ink pencil and gel pen. Started off as a quick sketch to loosen the cobwebs but turned into a piece that I dived into and developed more of my own style.

Satellite - I’m feeling rather isolated and lonely.

This was a labor of love. Completed with Prismcolor pencils and Copic Markers. I'm very influenced by my surroundings, and all around me are hipsters. I'm also surrounded by artist and those in studio & animation jobs that I hope to have one day. This piece reflects a point in my life of where I am physically and shows my career aspirations. And it was also just for fun because I love Rick&Morty.

I was wondering why kitty was adding so much garnish to the plate! Check out the rest of my completed Inktober posts on IG: @dittofunkysketch123 :D
