Pretty much the title. This was from a how-to of Mark Crilley. https://youtu.be/h1hNe7jF4JM

These are just a few of my own Handmade Journals I love to work in.

Lamy fountain pen (F nib) with blue ink on cardboard.

I love to create imaginary places with a black brush pen on paper.

This is basically the TLDR; version of every comic I ever write.

Let me Skull your thoughts

Which one you like the most??

55 mins “I Never Noticed The House Was On Fire” This is a painting for an upcoming group exhibition about memories. When I was a kid I grew up in a household where my parents were functioning alcoholics. They gave me toys, put me in front of the tv, and sent me outside to play to keep me distracted from what was going on. When I look back almost all of my childhood memories revolve around these things. I became obsessed with these imaginary worlds and I learned to draw by copying my favorite cartoons and characters from children’s books. It was not until I was much older, that the truth could no longer be hidden from me. The imaginary world of cartoons and books kept me shielded from the harsh realities of home. As I grew into an adult that form of coping grew with me as I created my own imaginary places inspired by the ones I loved as a child. A healthy place to escape.

I try to do my Yoga Practice every morning, but I still am not as flexible and good as my little drawn Yogi's, ^_^.

Another batch of sketches from my time in the album recording session earlier this week. Noodler’s ink blue loaded in my fountain pen, then applying a bit of water with a water brush. I like the bleeding that occurs.

Wow! I was invited to spend the day in the recording studio drawing the creation of a jazz album. I will be going back to my studio to create the album cover art for the project. Included are few photos of my process drawings from the session. It was an amazing experience to spend time with these incredible musicians. I will share the final results at a later date.

Creating my space in a new city has been very rewarding for me. I love coming back to this room, my zen spot.

What is a vampires least favorite type of coffee? De-Coffinated!

One of many linocut skulls I love to make!

Unused label for Abomination Brewing Company. We went with something else(which I will post shortly).

Cici recently got a Spirograph and this is her first drawing using it!!

This page, in one of my own handmade journals, I made after my surgery for Colon Cancer. And I get a lot of comfort from Yana, my sweet cat.

Digital vs Analog, best of both worlds -- Sketched in Rebelle 3 and inked with a Platinum 3776 Century Shungyo SF. Ink is Platinum Carbon Black.

India ink on tissue paper. I had never used ink on this kind of paper before; I really liked the results! There are some folds and wrinkles on the paper that give the pattern some interesting details. The paper is also super absorbing, which plays nicely with the quantities of ink. Since it's very thin, there can easily be overlays between textures. And finally, when trying to use less ink (so that it wouldn't seep through and cause a big dot - the absorbing quality is nice, but it was also somewhat of a challenge!) I used very little ink on the lettering, causing a scratchy, dry look.

We need rainy days to grow.
