I saw on the Samantha Bee show that there's an association between vintage cartoons and minstrelsy, and I can't stop thinking about it now. So I drew some mean looking white person mice in retaliation. These are your suburb mice that are complaining that the Whole Foods line is taking too long.

Three kings stopped a walking man to ask advice about their dreams. But the man said, "Oh no please, I don't want to hear these things." "I have dreams of my own although they'll never come to pass... I just work my life away while all you rich guys sit and laugh."

Two spreads featuring Victorian portraits made with ink and watercolor.

It's a mad world we're living in

Abstract geometric artwork

A commissioned piece of original artwork for a client that I drew which incorporates various elements of strength (as chosen by the client). It also illustrates that even in dark times a light will come shining through.

The first page in my Moleskine sketchbook. Lettering, doodle flowers and a vibrant green background. Coloured in with brush marker pens.

This is a new series of contemporary paper collages realised using a mix and match of new and vintage paper. I used: • Vintage paper ephemera (old postcards, paper cuts, portraits) • Recycled paper from envelopes • Brand new paper cuts • For the decorations I mostly used marker pens, stickers and washi tape.

First post!! Hi everyone I’m elsa and I love doing art! Hope you enjoy my art ⭐️ This is just a little something I drew earlier

Facial hair is a fun challenge to draw, as are bats. Most bats are really, really freaky-looking, which I am 100% into.

I'm sad that Batgirl was only featured in Batman & Robin -- not only a terrible Batman movie, but a terrible MOVIE altogether. We need more Batgirl. In the meantime, here's some elaborately shaved chest hair to hold you over.

I drew a sweaty kaiju on the Bullet Journal spread that had my workouts. The subsequent creatures are based on vintage Japanese toys.

Part of the 'drawing a day' series.

Yo amo los mundo sutiles, ingrávidos y gentiles, como pompas de jabón. Me gusta verlos pintarse de sol y grana, volar bajo el cielo azul, temblar súbitamente y quebrarse... (A. Macado)

While driving through Florida, I came across a large flock of flamingos flogging a clown near swamp.

Pencil drawing

Pen & Ink on an original 1933 vintage Vogue cover.

This sketchbook spread comes with a free tea review. (I'm also a Sororitea Sister. That's a real thing. Feel free to look it up.) My favorite feature is Edgar Allan Poe in the lower right, though.

I have been participating in Lauren Hom’s #HOMwork challenges via Instagram. This weeks challenge was to draw the same letter 16 ways. I drew cats instead. I may come back to the whole lettering thing at some point!

Whimsical assortment of colors and doodles in a checkerboard pattern. Bordered in black and white boxes.

How I picture my family taking advice

This is a black-and-white revision of an illustration I made (hand-drawn) for an American Red Cross e-newsletter years ago. The original was in color; however, considering my current work is predominantly black and white, I thought it appropriate to update the illustration for my portfolio. © 2007-2018 Joe Blend.

I wanted to do a video and this was my first recording. Doodle on napkin using zig perishables.
