My first try at dip pen art. Found that it's cheap and there's less of an environmental burden considering disposable fine liners.

A recent piece that was commissioned from me for a mother's day gift. Loved creating this colorful goldfinch and sunflower

Inky Lotus: Ink and watercolour

This painting was derived from a collage of my own photos. The location is just south of Wawa Ontario Canada

My first horse study in acrylic medium. I love the tossed main, it looks so anthropomorphic!

Weird shapey lady that wants to plant a forest.

Always ready! #currentmood

First upload! Quick sketch; trying to get back into this.

Doodles from my sketchpads during March. The coloured floral, has been doodled in black fine liner then overlaid with pastel pencils.

One of my favorite things about being a parent is listening to the stories my daughter makes up and really trying to encourage her imagination. She has named a bunch of the cacti which line our windowsills, while our cacti are very accustomed to their suburban lives they also like a bit of adventure, this is a group of them taking a family vacation to the desert.

She has been begging me for years and I’ve finally done it.

Graphite drawing I did a long time ago.

In an attempt to be much more consistent with my drawing practice (and to tackle my insecurities about showing people my drawings) I am hoping that posting some of my sketches online will help keep me accountable. So day 1 sketch, I managed to find a very cheap used college set of Rotring Rapidograph pens online, when they arrived today I was delighted to see that they had NEVER been used! After a bit of a happy dance I got a couple of the pens assembled and started to figure out how they work. This is a quick sketch on tracing paper not that I was tracing anything I just need to invest in better paper with less tooth to be able to use these pens without having ink flow issues.

Doodle done last year using a glass pen.

This art is linked to my previous work. The protogonist has entered the other side of the world. A weird place but it seems familiar as this world is nothing but his consciousness and diary is just a portal which let him in here

Done on gray toned paper with grayscale pastels
