This was a custom piece I did for my friends daughter. I used pen and watercolor.

© 2017 Joe Blend. All rights reserved. — Artwork made by redacting words in a newspaper article to create a haiku. A contour drawing was added using white ink, to convey the meaning behind the haiku (note: the word "the" was added by using semi-opaque tape to remove the word from a different newspaper article). The piece was scanned into Adobe Photoshop for small adjustments, to prepare for printing.

This original mixed media design is rich with energy and movement. In sizes 6" x 8" to 16" x 20".

I used a Platinum Preppy fountain pen for this. I like how it makes me kinda happy looking at it haha. I made this into digital form ( made it a little happier with more smiley faces) and put it on my Redbubble and TeePublic.

This is another improvised painting - in oils this time, but poured on after diluting with white spirit and then tidied up with a paint brush chasing the forms that appeared. You need to outside to do one like this. Very fast to make, but they stink like
