Watercolor marker commission.

Result of drawing while being in love

I love doing pen work. Might do an entire children's book in this style. Maybe faded colours.

Close to a month ago, I had found out my design was selected for the Art Stop Program, and, yes, this is mainly what I've been working on since. I've never worked on a piece this large before, 72in x 24in, and I rarely make sketches of pieces before creating the final work. It's definitely a cool feeling to look at the finished board and see how the drawing actually came to life. (The Art Stop Program selects a handful of entered designs for the artists to create on a larger board, and these boards will then be inserted into bus stop benches around Niles, IL.) I can't wait to see the bench this will be in, and I'm so lucky I got to be part of the program.

Still learning colored pencil....

Mindfulness, ink on paper, from the "Présence" series

Some LGBTQ+ members of the community can’t openly love who they want to love, so the bars represent that barrier. The fabric, with all its complex folds and creases represents sensuality, desire and love. Love, in all its forms is a complex thing of beauty.------------- The companion piece to my previous post ‘Ecstasy.’ Agony and Ecstasy were always meant to be a diptych. The issue for me is that there is a two-year gap between the completion of the two - there is a noticeable difference in the the way both were drawn. Faber Castell pastel pencils, Black and White Generals charcoal pencils on 9” x 12” Strathmore Toned Grey sketchbook paper.

This is an image I used for a poetry book.

A colour sketch in preparation for a larger piece. The scene is from woodland very close to my home on a spring morning during last year's lockdown.

A 4x6" colour sketch of Sgwyd Gwladys in preparation for a much larger piece. Sgwyd Gwladys is a beautiful waterfall - one of many on the Neath 'Waterfall Country' walking route starting in Pontneddfechan.

A birthday card I drew for my partner not long after we first met. The dog is her Labrador, Jack looking over a slightly artistic licence version of Ystradgynlais.

This stream was in the foothills of Cadair Idris. I took a step away from my precision sketching to do something a bit faster and loose.

Drawn on the iPad using Procreate. Guitar goes up to 11 ;)

I laid down the initial layer of this large piece in pencil about a year ago and finally returned to it this weekend to add accents in ink.

A friend commissioned me to redraw a small inktober doodle into a 11x17 version. Pen and ink with black watercolor. Does my larger version still have the same lighthearted feel as the original doodle?

Whimsical. Watercolor. No reference used, just imagination. Prompt: SAVE OUR CHILDREN. Human trafficking awareness.

When goldilocks visits.

A dew draped crabapple, nestled in the grass. Crayola crayon on some type of paper from the great ol dollar store.

The fruit is good for nothing. Â frúcta não vôs ôu lhe serve. "English as She is Spoke" by Jose da Fonseca and Pedro Carolina. I adore "Rejected" cartoon by Don Hertzfeldt. I am sure you have all seen it, but if not, look it up. And thank me later. Unless you hate it. Then thank me anyway for broadening your taste.
