This is one of my favourites of the series :)

A still life painted in watercolours.

Homage to a lost friend.

Don’t get caught here unawares… I don’t suggest you take the stairs. The treasure that this castle keeps, deep beneath the water sleeps. But if you’re patient with the tides, there’s another path it hides. Quickly now! Find the door! and hurry back onto the shore. For the moon, she will not wait to turn the tide and flood the gate. Don’t get caught here unawares… I don’t suggest you take the stairs.

Continuing with the doodling and just watching what emerges. I'm beginning to thoroughly enjoy this strange turn of art events in my life.

Watercolour and pencil.

This is from one of my older sketchbooks. I used salt on the red watercolor paint while it was still wet to get the textured background effect.

Watercolor and ink sketch of Batman in storm.

I've been drawing a lot of mandalas lately. Circles, upon circles, upon circles! I love it! It's very soothing and meditative.

Beware of the desert island anglerfish, which lies in wait for shipwrecked sailors and curious cruise ships.

I found a Gap ad in a 90s Vanity Fair magazine; the background was completely white, perfect for doodling a background on it. I also highlighted the woman's freckles and lips with a bronze Sharpie.

A small watercolor experiment, before creating something similar on a bigger canvas.

Yesterdays doodle (watercolor/ink/6x9")

For some reason, this is one of my favorite works. It's a total fluke, doodle on a spare piece of watercolour paper, totally unplanned

An old drawing I made a while ago. It's Zacian from Pokémon Sword. I was just looking for something cool to post, haha. I don't think I appreciated it enough at the time I created it.
