With thanks (again) to endless listens of Devendra Banhart and other awesome folk like himself...heheh.

The Right Pen For The Job: Started with a Pilot Custom 742 PO. Finished with my 3776 Century UEF. Ready for color.

I can't stop playing with the pattern maker in illustrator! ❤️

I just realized there is a pattern maker in illustrator.

Label I worked on for Wallenpaupack Brewing Company for 4th of July can release! (not my photo though, found the photo on Instagram)

Just messing around with Illustrator

There's a big drop of black ink spilled near the center... It's like that bit of ink just couldn't wait to be part of the art. Sometimes a rough sketch takes on a life of its own.

We drew/painted a frog (Cici age 4 1/2)

I try to keep vulgarity out of my work, but sometimes it just fits. This is one of those times.

Little watercolor horses, they were fun to draw and paint and each seems to have it's own personality. Some look a little too much like a donkey though. lol

These horses were so much fun to draw. I used a Uni Posca marker with Daniel Smith watercolors. I was going to a craft fair and wanted to try out making stickers with Sticker Mule. It is a super easy process. The sticker is 1 inch in diameter.

There's a phone in Graham's Up the Tree and kids will have no clue what they're looking at or how those "buttons" work.

Lots of time to doodle while stuck in the airport

Looking out at that crazy Graham up in the tree!

Summer is finally here and I am creating a sunny postcard to send to friends while on road trips.

Practicing with my dip pen, not great paper but still kinda cute.

Graham's Up the Tree! ("and there's nowhere else he can go!") - my 4 year old ran around the house for weeks misquoting the story with his own interpretation of an Australian accent. Calling it out over, and over, and over again.
