Twins are born best friends. There is no bond quite like the one that twins share.

In an attempt to be much more consistent with my drawing practice (and to tackle my insecurities about showing people my drawings) I am hoping that posting some of my sketches online will help keep me accountable. So day 1 sketch, I managed to find a very cheap used college set of Rotring Rapidograph pens online, when they arrived today I was delighted to see that they had NEVER been used! After a bit of a happy dance I got a couple of the pens assembled and started to figure out how they work. This is a quick sketch on tracing paper not that I was tracing anything I just need to invest in better paper with less tooth to be able to use these pens without having ink flow issues.

Tentalion!

Cute doodle pattern I made for an upcoming collection. More to come!

Another artwork from 1997. Blast from the past. Pen and ink pointillism.

Doodling is what I do. It's a way to make visible the randomness that's in my head - just drawing out a concept right when it comes to mind and scribbling on whatever I can find.

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.

These are a few pages from my DA sketchbook that I filled using only a blue pen and a red and a blue highlighter.

My husband has a chronic illness and frequently spends weeks in the hospital. I have been doodling each day while sitting with him and many of them reflect my thoughts at the time. Often appearing are desperation, hope, frustration, sarcasm, fear.

This is a Polaroid camera, the kind that you could buy in the 1970's.

Happy Monkey Cheese Day everyone!

Progression 1 of 5. Happy with how this one began. Mesut is all in the eyes so those were my initial focus.
