Playing with Word Art

Drawn while waiting for my kid's haircut & inked at home with my Platinum 3776 Century UEF.

My fav things to doodle

Platinum's 3776 Century nib is even bigger than Pilot's 912 nib. Used both on this little boom box pizza party.

Watercolor plein air painting but my painting subject of decorative flourishes portray the vibe of this park: Relaxing ASMR sounds of barking dogs, screaming children, and screeching parrots.
