Collaboration with Pandora Malaysia for Disney’s Mickey turns 90! This figure is 2 feet tall. Implementing space theme doodle in this one. :)

Gouache and watercolor on Arches watercolor paper.

Photo transfer- pencil, acrylic paint

These patterns are all made from drawings pulled from my 2017 sketchbook project. I studied fiber arts in grad school and learned how to do repeat patterns - the old fashioned way by cutting and taping paper together... I haven't done any in 25 years - until this month!

This drawing looks a bit like one of those "how are you feeling?" hospital charts. It starts out okay ("smiling cat", "drunk pirate"), and descends into full Lovecraftian Horror. I was driving toward a local town known for its unpleasant yokels, which probably explains the progression. Today, for the record, I'm 75% Apathetic Lumberjack, 5% glassy-eyed cat, and 20% Vampire Waluigi.

My dad and I found this oc challenge on Pinterest and thought it would be fun. https://pin.it/6rSLH0Z Here is the credit link and if anyone else wants to do it, it was really fun!

The Optimist.

Napkin challenge, I missed the deadline but figured I might as well upload the file.

Ink drawing || Sketchbook

Made from tracing the shadow of my hand holding my pencil. An for some reason Pearl Jam started playing in my head.

For #day11 the #inktober word is #cruel. Wearing natural fur only because it looks good on you is not a reason for animals to be sacrificed.

All you have to do is lift your chin up to encounter the most fascinating things in life. What would it take to lift up your chin and talk to the person sitting right next to you. I fear that one day we will forget the very essence of being a human.

Another doodle realised for my personal 100 Days Project.

Selfies a la Koosje Koene; drawing without ever lifting the pen from the paper. ... (http://www.makeawesomeart.com/)

The super hero skull. I am following botober prompts from @janelle.shane generated using the OpenAI net GPT-3. https://www.instagram.com/p/CUxLBsSLdGZ/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link

Finished this up. Overall happy with how it turned out. Ramsey left the team this summer after 10 years.

The caravan is coming to town. I hope everyone hops on.

Digital doodle in honor of the Halloween season almost being upon us! OK, so I'm a little early. I know I'm not the only one!

First time drawing in a long, long time... simply testing out the waters

I love gardens! I was recently at the opening of the Abbey Millennium Garden so thought I would produce a piece of work celebrating the new garden.

This guy makes me smile. Watercolor with pencil.

Inspired by the Mervyn Peake Novels.

Another one for #transmundanetuesdays, with prompts by Carson Ellis (an older one tho), this is my #glovedandspikeybricklayer! He looks evil but he's just allergic to non-spikey things.

Junicorn - so apparently there's a june art challenge like mermay, its called junicorn...this is my one and only entry, i dont like unicorns nearly as much as mermaids...lol added my sketches for the drawing this time.

Customarily, families give their homes a thorough cleaning in the days leading up to Lunar New Year’s Day. Windows are scrubbed, floors are swept, and furniture is dusted in preparation for the new year, sweeping away away the bad luck of the past year. In addition, dusting is avoided on New Year’s Day, for fear that good fortune will be swept away.

Faith. This is a closeup, you can see the larger piece on my blog tmantra.tumblr.com :)

Heard the ladies love butterflies... This is usually followed by a "Not Amused" facial expression.

Hibernation time has definitely come to an end on this part of the globe. It is now time to eat the world and so this one decided to bring himself to life and cast some magick around. Drawings are a very powerful tool for that. This is the first bear that I have ever created on paper and I don't know much about why he came out like this but I'm sure that he knows very well all about that. He is the sigil and I trust his eyes
