A simple little penguin watercolor study

A few of my favorite pages from my sketchbook documenting my trip to China in the summer of 2017. An amazing and life changing experience.

It's not about waiting around for inspiration to strike, it's about showing up every single day -- and maybe something amazing happens that day, or maybe it doesnt...Regardless, Rise and Grind ♡

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.

(HB pencil on a 125mm x 75mm post-it note) She has her own way of dealing with naughty children, but mostly, she sells balloons.

First piece of art for 2025. Still working on botanical watercolors. Im in love with the background tho.

4 simple botanicals in digital watercolor. I use Rebelle 7

Wee watercolour sketch of Donkey Orchids from the forest near Greenbushes.

I've been going through a kick lately and "finding" art in watercolor blobs.

Little monster takes a ride with some sentient flowers.

Trying out some new paper and colored pencils.

Standing on a cube, With nothing more to do, Than for us to wait in queue, For a chance to use the loo.

I made this litthe card for my aunt and uncle.

Practicing layers and dogs

There's a big drop of black ink spilled near the center... It's like that bit of ink just couldn't wait to be part of the art. Sometimes a rough sketch takes on a life of its own.

Still working on updating my cat style. I liked how this guy's fur turned out. I find the sketching part the hardest, it seems so easy to mess up the cat at that part.

Home Is Where The Hurt Is. Gouache on Arches watercolor paper. A painting for all those who came up with crappy home lives.

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."
