"More of the usual, please!"

ABCs and sharkeys.

Needed a mini-breather after a busy spell! Good to be back at it. :)

Blackout poetry time!

Found a tidbit in the novel Grendel by John Gardner that got my creative juices stirring... :-)

A more unusual interpretation of the mermay theme some of us are fond of. Also, new sketchbook time is fast approaching!

The sketchbook doodle that turned into something special. To this day, it’s still one of my favourite drawings. Pencil, Charcoal Pencil, Pastel Pencils on 9” x 12” Strathmore Archival Sketchbook Paper.

A close friend recently lost their family pet, Joey. As a tribute gift, I did his portrait. I usually just draw people, so this presented quite the challenge for me. I have never attempted to draw animals/pets. Bic4 Ballpoint Pen, Sanrio Novelty 10 Colour Ballpoint Pen on Archival 8.5" x 11" paper

I've been having a lot of prickly thoughts lately...but at least there's still the tiny bee who visits occasionally.

Watercolors and fineliners on Aquarelle, 300 GSM. Fantasy has always appealed to me ever since I was a kid, and I often find myself lost and wandering around in the fantastical world of "could've been's"
