surf

Thinking of making this into a wall paper, have been drawing lots of trees as so many near me have been getting cut down lately.

The clutter on my drawing table.. I tend to use pencils the most, with pens a close second and sometimes brushes. This is the neat look---when everything is put away in its box. More often than not, they are a bit more scattered on the surface. Micron pen drawing.

I had a wonderful time creating this commision for a Kansas City Personalities wall mural installed in a downtown KC apartment building. The wall measures roughly 12’ x 20’. These were all hand drawn graphite and charcoal drawings that I scanned into my mac and delivered digitally. The file was then enlarged and applied to the wall surface.

I was looking at what Pixabay might offer as inspiration, and found this fish. Perfect for a ballpoint pen drawing. The incompleted drawing in the second photo was taken before the final "glaze" of little scribbles of turquoise pen across almost the whole surface. It was a happy accident that made for a shimmery, iridescent fishy quality.

Quick cube pattern sketch study.

Beer Label design incorporating lots of local facts/things to do with the area it's brewed in. Sailing, windsurfing, big lake, spitfire plane, invading shrimps, highland cattle, sunken church, snakes, beer swilling octopus (ok I made that one up).

Done for an 'artist spotlight' greeting card series

This was the second of the same lion drawn on two different surfaces. This one was drawn in pastels on Pastelmat paper.

Done for a weekly art submissions challenge for "Might Could Studios". It is meant to be the viewpoint of a surfer riding a wave. ───==≡≡ΣΣ((( つºل͜º)つ

Getting triangular weird on top of some op art scribbles.

Swirls and Triangles. Hard to capture that metallic gold ink.

Funky take on a box pattern.

This painting is a technique I enjoy mostly because I see figures in the ordinary and draw them out from what I see in abstract backgrounds I paint. In it you see a group of people enjoying time together. I used Acrylics on Aquaboard, a surface especially made for many layers of wet media.

Freehand doodled scale pattern.

11x14 freehand pattern study.

Ampersandoodles — that's what I call these. I'll doodle on anything, as long as the surface allows it.

Rainbow Lorikeet, peace, doodle

This sketchbook is all about triangle patterns! Each page starts with a base layer of connecting triangles. From there, I fill in different patterns on each page, challenging myself to come up with new ideas for each page.

Bubbly goodness!

Circles and pipes. Yep, that's what we've got for this one.

Quickie pattern study doodle with Posca pens.

Handmade ceramic pot, doodled with underglaze

This was the first of the same lion drawn on two different surfaces. This one was drawn in pastels on sanded paper.

I love to come up with these mindless but interesting hard surface shapes and technical stuff. It has a meditative effect on me like drawing mandalas ^^ Inspiration comes from Tsutomu Nihei again.
