The start of some waves and clouds. A little too symmetrical for me, I need to work through it a little more.

Portrait practice last night as I was sitting on the porch.

Art therapy is good therapy.

Working on this save the date makes me super happy.

The hangover song, heheheh.

I do like a good mondegreen, that much is true. See the radio edit of Royksopp’s ‘Remind Me’ for more details (I might not be mishearing the lyrics, but it’s still quite the earworm): https://youtu.be/XEQcWbbkyPY

Channelling my inner Trekkie, as it says on the tin here...

Something all over the shop.

I think I'm getting the hang of painting florals with gouache. It helped to decide on a palette and pre-mix the colors.

An ode to one more fresh start.

I'm playing around with a new color palette on this one. I may try a few now that I know about the recolor tool in illustrator!

Ideas, ideas everywhere... *suddenly realises he needs to buy another sketchbook*

I helped create the Island in the Sun can for Conshohocken Brewing Company a couple years back. They release it every year in the summer and I drew this up to celebrate the re-release this year!

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

The kids jump, and call, and send koo wees up to the koo wee sky! When I draw happy characters like this I find myself smiling and I don't even realize it. I hope that happiness comes through in the art. - From "Graham's Up the Tree"

So Mum goes for the phone and these guys slip out the door to see what Graham is doing up in the tree... I can't believe they'd just leave their food behind like that. I mean... look at it. Mmm.

Killing time on the plane by drawing a lot of puppies.

I draw these but this one I did on a Saltillo Tile..sign paints...mettalics...

Two pairs of pears from the backyard tree. Curious to see these age in the coming weeks.

Drawn while in the hospital with my husband. Tongue-in-cheek: "I Brought You Flowers".

My husband has a chronic illness and frequently spends weeks in the hospital. I have been doodling each day while sitting with him and many of them reflect my thoughts at the time. Often appearing are desperation, hope, frustration, sarcasm, fear.

Passing time while on the plane.

I've completed my part of the art trade with @daydreamerdahlia! At first, Anya was just in a dress, but then I thought it was kind of weird that Caroline was wearing a coat, and Anya was just in a dress outside, so I redrawn her coat. The scar and earrings are still there! But I didn't want to hide her colorful coat under a shawl. Green goes well with her red hair, and to blend in with Caroline, I went with green. I imagine it as some kind of girls night out. Well, not a girls night out, Caroline in her male persona Smarty, I imagine her name already carrying weight and no one will bother them! Tommy can chill at home this time.
