Made this back in 1998 inspired after reading Marquez's Love in the Time of Cholera. Pen and Ink on acid free paper. Pointillism.

Spent a day stuck in the Chicago airport. I drew a LOT of puppies!

A few pieces from my drawing session with my class yesterday created on my drawing pads backing board.

14/20 days, 20 films that made an impact on me. No title, no comment, just a picture. In my case, a drawing. Daily drawing #634

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.

These patterns are all made from drawings pulled from my 2017 sketchbook project. I studied fiber arts in grad school and learned how to do repeat patterns - the old fashioned way by cutting and taping paper together... I haven't done any in 25 years - until this month!

My dad and I found this oc challenge on Pinterest and thought it would be fun. https://pin.it/6rSLH0Z Here is the credit link and if anyone else wants to do it, it was really fun!

Customarily, families give their homes a thorough cleaning in the days leading up to Lunar New Year’s Day. Windows are scrubbed, floors are swept, and furniture is dusted in preparation for the new year, sweeping away away the bad luck of the past year. In addition, dusting is avoided on New Year’s Day, for fear that good fortune will be swept away.

My quick doodle. With emotion character in shape. I do this below 10 minutes. Ink on watercolor paper.

Another one for #transmundanetuesdays, with prompts by Carson Ellis (an older one tho), this is my #glovedandspikeybricklayer! He looks evil but he's just allergic to non-spikey things.

Stripping away all layers

I pigged out and now I'm so stuffed, hope you are too!

My grandma is a craftswoman . She used to work at a Talavera pottery studio and sometimes I would skip school and join her at work. She would give me an imperfect blank pottery piece and lend me her painting supplies so I could create my own art.

Copperhead drawing inspired by the year 1861. That year my home state of Kansas was born and the country was split in 2 by the Civil War.

I love gardens! I was recently at the opening of the Abbey Millennium Garden so thought I would produce a piece of work celebrating the new garden.

Faith. This is a closeup, you can see the larger piece on my blog tmantra.tumblr.com :)

Inspired by the Mervyn Peake Novels.

Poppies are among my favorite flowers---vibrant AND delicate. Great swaths of "bread poppies" garnish our garden. We harvest seeds for lemon-seed cake and poppy-seed rolls. (No, we don't harvest that other stuff.) They reseed generously and we have beautiful crops of red and purple flowers each year. I've been working on this colored pencil drawing for the past week. Enclosed are some images of the progress over that time.

Inspired by lamb of gods - nightmare seeker, slipknots - virus of life and my own random thoughts as the songs progress.

Digital Painting-The Dark Knight triumphant And so I spent two days on this one, and really tried a lot of new things in addition to getting better at anatomy. If you like this piece, please do share it, thanks a lot guys! Full breakdown here - https:
