This is a black-and-white revision of an illustration I made (hand-drawn) for an American Red Cross e-newsletter years ago. The original was in color; however, considering my current work is predominantly black and white, I thought it appropriate to update the illustration for my portfolio. © 2007-2018 Joe Blend.

Just a play around with acrylics on canvas board, really proud of this one

© 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 unique black & white abstract design comes alive with gold, silver and bronze highlights. In sizes 6" x 8" to 16" x 20".

This is a dragon animation. If you want to see the actual thing, go to this link: https://scratch.mit.edu/projects/195408941/#comments-86849692 all work is drawn by me.

This was a practice sketch to try out a sketchbook I bought from the dollar store. The paper is surprisingly of excellent quality and she came out looking great!

Princess Leia. Pen and ink.

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.
