tree

'Oh how wonderful life would be, if I had my own little house in a tree!' This one was created for the Urban Explorer Challenge and I loved every minute of it! As a lover of the natural environment I had to draw on where my heart lies so a treehouse seemed a fitting response!

Robotic style of Elmo.

Selling tea by the roadside, this guy did brisk business on a cold morning.

Day 8 Inktober 2017 - crooked.

Can you feel the heat? We're dancing at the party on Concrete Street! We never said that this party'd ever come to an end - the sun is setting but no fretting we can do it again!

Second version of my animal hides serie. In the final work i change tree breed to more typical to squirrel in my country

Sketch of a green tree frog I did last summer while on vacation.

Try it: Take a sharpie, give yourself five-minutes on the clock and see what doodle you come up with.

(black biro on 74mm x 105mm card) When there were more pubs, you'd see many a wandering drunk around the streets at chucking out time. Zombie-like beings with only a strange homing-pigeon instinct left as intelligence.

Today’s adventure took us to the KC City Market to sketch. We rode the streetcar to have lunch and draw. These are my sketches for the day.

Market Street a long time ago.

A Big Black Horse and a Cherry Tree. Ball point pen on a paper plate

This was my first drawing for the Graham's Up the Tree book. I used my most trusted pen: Metal Pilot Falcon, Soft Extra Fine.

sketch with a tea in front of cafe feyza, in my berlin charlottenburg street. air starts to fell like autumn

Street Style Helsinki illustration. I liked the contrast between the pale look and 50s feeling glasses. Girlish and strong at the same time.

Howard Street, San Francisco, Fenestration, a wonderful building that has since been destroyed in the name of progress

Street Style Helsinki. Living in the Nordic levels, like Finland, requires special attitude against cold winter weather. From a distance the sight felt like a giant rectangle on two thin sticks approaching scurry towards me.

Australian author mbpardy & I have a children's book coming out soon called "Graham's Up the Tree." This illustration from the book makes a good countdown to release.

South Street Seaport before Sandy

It's cool how the internet can bring people together from far away places to make things. "Graham's Up the Tree" is based on a true story from the life of author mbpardy ... He's in Australia - I'm in Seattle area. When he posts these images at his page I see comments from people who grew up with real life versions of these characters I drew -- People that actually looked out the window and saw this little guy high up at the top of a tree... where no one else could go.

For these Grahams Up the Tree drawings I used a Pilot Custom 823 with FA nib. This pen is legendary. It has a very soft nib and a giant vacuum filled tank of ink so you can write and draw for days.
