I've started a new mixed media sketchbook. Which is often times unexplainably daunting. To get over it I just dive in with lots of color. Then the fun begins.

Reebok commissioned me to customize a pair of their white Classics in time for a holiday giveaway (2017).

Random fun with a Pilot Custom 823 EF in my Moleskine - and now for a dash of watercolor!

Ballpoint and white ink on found paper.

Painted Zip disk. Mixed media. I love old retro stuff and found rejected objects. It's hard to believe how fast zip, floppy, jaz, etc. disks became yesterdays technology. It's about time these old disks found a new purpose and some respect.

I've started a new sketch book (one of many, lol), which I am dedicating to ink drawings only. No pencils, no watercolours, just pen and ink :) I drew this doodle today with a Uniball pen and a light ink wash for the space sky. No reference, totally made up. Mistakes and all! Available as stickers and other goodies on Red Bubble. Sketchbook is Stillman and Birn Alpha - I love, love, love the whiteness of its pages!

I have been really enjoying this motif lately of mixing geometric shapes and linework with the fluidity of watercolor.

3D Drawing - Pokemon / Pikachu

Observations from an expedition to the Houston Museum of Natural Science, which features an incredible paleontology hall. I brought with me a pad of sticky notes, a couple Micron plastic nib pens, a set of Copic Markers, my fanny pack, and some headphones. Prehistoric life has been an infatuation of mine since childhood, and there is something very humbling about drawing in the shadows of these fallen giants.

Day 1 entry for INKTOBER2017

I created my studio with doodles. This is now the set for aTV series for kids that I host.

Tanya Reynolds as Lily Iglehart in the lovely show Sex Education

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.

inktober 2019 | day 1

(HB pencil on a 140mm x 88mm postcard) When you're resigned to your inevitable fate, knowing that you probably did it to yourself.

New pen, new drawing. Sailor 1911 Standard, Yellow GT with EF nib. Oh man it's good. My first Sailor - instantly a favorite.

I've been so impressed with the ball point pen art that I have seen on this site, that I decided to give it a try. This is a Betta fish (Siamese fighting fish) done in red, blue, and purple ball point pens. Obviously, I have much to learn....but it was great fun and I have ordered some more colors since I plan on experimenting more. I've enclosed a photo of the work in progress and the various reference photos I used. The colors are more true to the final scan than in the flash photo of my drawing table.
