A drawing which required some sharpening of a mechanical pencil. Just to get that needle-sharp drawing tool. I'm not the only one doing this, right?

Twinkle, a beautiful ginger tabby.

We all come from different places and I wish I could visit them all.

Fat little birds make me smile! The Eastern bluebird is a North American migratory thrush. My subject is a male with the most luxurious neck rolls! Drawn in Prismacolor soft core colored pencils on toned tan sketch paper.

Border Terrier. Beautiful little lady called Berry.

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

Dearly little man! That face! Another pet commission!

Black and white line drawing of two little badgers having an explore, celebrating my personal love for wildlife.

An image for an upcoming film. Stay tuned for more details. Ink and gouache on paper. A3. For Sale.

Looking forward to maybe someday hanging out with pals again...

This is a recent portrait painting I did as a demo for my electronic illustration class.

I have been participating in Lauren Hom’s #HOMwork challenges via Instagram. This weeks challenge was to draw the same letter 16 ways. I drew cats instead. I may come back to the whole lettering thing at some point!

It's been a weird couple of years where social media became so toxic I'm just not online much. This place isn't like that so I have no excuse! So here's the CD cover for my new album "Junkyard Sam - OUTCAST", now available on Soundcloud & Spotify.

Swanky cats was a commission I did recently. The image is A3 and was sooooo much fun to do!

Not a famous quote per se (as requested for this week's prompt), but my own little phrase I often think about and consider.

This one is a big'un! A3! 13 hours so far and still a way to go. I do love the curly hairy ones!

A naughty cat by all accounts!

Here's the final color illustration created for Osprey Pens featuring the Osprey Pen Factory. It was drawn with the same fountain pen there on the right... An Osprey Milano 5.5 Flexpert Hourglass nib. Great pen! Colored in Photoshop.

Not finished yet! The curliest dog I've ever done!

Drawn on my new iPad Pro using Procreate. This is quite an app.

My final entry for Stage 3 of the doodle addicts challenge! I have loved doing these challenges. They have not only got me drawing things I wouldn't have considered off my own back, but they have brought me out of my comfort zone too. Drawing steam is harder than I thought!!!

I'm going to try to remember Throw Back Thursday. It's fun for me to go back and try to remember what was going on in my mind that made me doodle what I doodled on that day.
