This was seriously all I could think of to draw. A dried up, sun scorched animal skull.

This was a request for a tattoo design. Done with a Bic pen.

Red Admiral of the Fleet :3 this was a toughie, for trying to find a genuine admirals hat and symbol that wasnt fancy dress! Eventually traced the real thing by finding actual people wearing their hats

Doing some colorful doodling on a day I was a little down. Doodling soothes me every time.

I was on break at work and was inspired by the song playing on the radio “Chandelier “ by the multi- talented Artist, Sia. Her powerful voice is one which usually gets my attention wherever I happen to be. Enjoy

WHIP IT GOOD. This ode to Devo was drawn with fountain pen ink run through brush markers. The watercolor effect was me running a wet brush through parts to make the fountain pen ink lift and pool. If you want more Leah Fun™, be sure to check out instagram Super_Starling!

Sometimes in life you've gotta draw a genie that's based on Lady GaGa. Don't blame me. Blame the inevitability of existence. This was ink and watercolor with a bit of assistance from Photoshop.

A sketch from life of a wandering Man exploiting his feline companion for coins and dollars. The Cat was dressed in a sweater and scarf.

I honestly think it was the most boring class that I have EVER taken!!!

When I was working on my new bullet journal, a friend asked, "oh god, are you one of those people now?" Yes. Yes I am.

While you were sleeping, I was dreaming.

There was a royal lineage in Europe that was so inbred that their jaws started getting really distended and weird. Like Jay Leno, but inbred. (I'm going to give him the benefit of the doubt.) Feel free to look up the Hapsburgs. I'll wait. The second picture is a Fiji mermaid and a merman. I think I want a merman tattoo. SMOLDER.

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.

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.

This was a custom piece I did for my friends daughter. I used pen and watercolor.

A contour drawing was added using white ink, to convey the meaning behind the haiku (note: the word "the" was added by using semi-opaque tape to remove the word from a different newspaper article). The piece was scanned into Adobe Photoshop for small adjustments, to prepare for printing.

This was a practice sketch to try out a sketchbook I bought from the dollar store. The paper is surprisingly of excellent quality and she came out looking great!

While on my drive home, at each red light, I drew in my sketchbook without looking. All shapes and things were from things I was seeing as I drove home. I then colored it in.

I spotted a huge line drawing on YouTube. I was curious about how it feels to draw just lines over and over again. The one on the web was four times as big as this one (on A3 paper). Half way through I started to nod off. Next morning I thought the green

This was my first stab at a Japanese-style 'sumi-e' or ink and brush painting in a 10 minute lunchbreak at work. The paper is a poor base for the wetness of the ink but better than not painting at all! I only have limited art supplies at work (not surpris

A tribute to Wassily Kandinsky. Painters do lots of doodling. Kandinsky played around with certain shapes again and again, so I thought I would too. I took shapes from lots of his paintings and moulded them into a doodle. Kandinksy was very meticulous wit

This is the random lady who was so friendly and helpful in my 1st ever yoga class. Thanks chick for telling me that I needed to take my shoes off :)

Drawn with Generals Pastel Pencils. I was surprised I enjoyed working with them. This is one in a series of "drink themed" drawings.

Was in a 'witchy' mood

Art was created from waste papers

Drawn when I was waiting for my flight overnight in Germany
