Another song for dreams.

To start off Inktober, I drew an India ink bottle for day 1.

It’s safe to say January feels like one of those 100 day months...

Essential Wednesday winding down on my part.

Hello 2020! The madness resumes.

18x24 watercolor paper, technical pen and probably pastel pencil or just regular pencil blended with a q-tip. This was done for a friend who owned a wine and spirits shop, so I guess it's a vine. Or a tree. Whichever....

Acrylic inks on water color paper

This was another tree doodle done with an ink dip pen.

What a year!

One of the topics for #inktober52 is DINNER

dear little universe /// even just a tiny bit / and you / open up. / peer out into the nightless sky / feel the stars, that / “you, dear little universe” / are always coursing / through your veins. — Neon Spencer

For the last day of Inktober, I drew a pumpkin with black india ink on orange paper. I had never done an Inktober challenge before, and I really liked it! I'm definitely doing it next year, too. I got very good ideas for new projects, I played with different textures and colours, and I used a calligraphic pen to draw, which I had never done before and which I loved.

Confident goblins.

The Old Devils Are At It Again. One of my favorite songs by William Elliot Whitmore. I usually draw and paint to his music along with Willie Nelson, Lucero and Ryan Bingham. It also seems appropriate for the times...
