I took a doodle and sort of turned it into a mandala. I did my best, and I think that counts for something.

I saw a man outside the library wearing a crown nestled into his cowboy hat. He was speaking swiftly, seemingly to himself, possibly freestyle rapping. Probably crazy. Then I drew some saints and stuff around him. I suspect he could use some assistance, perhaps spiritual.

I tried drawing an architectural thing. I'm not good at it, but hey, gotta learn eventually! (I guess. Come to think of it, most people NEVER pick up this skill and turn out mostly OK.)

These were sketched in pencil, then gone over in ink and watercolor!

Get lost in the symmetry, maaaaan!

Being the census taker for rabbits, in particular, must be a demanding job.

My sketchbook isn't quite up to the challenge of the sheer amount of paint I dump into it, but that's OK. We forgive each other. Hope everyone enjoys these spooky goodies!

I'm trying some new techniques out. Not sure I like either of them, particularly, but one has to try occasionally.

My current sketchbook is the lovingly titled "Blue Sketchbook." Feel free to enjoy its many, many pages, plus two bonus zoom-ins of favorite spreads! Let me know if you have any questions.

This collage is entitled "The Final Voyage of the Bunny." I don't know who he is, or why it's called that, or why it feels so sad.

Due to financial/logistical reasons, I can't do literal linocuts as often as I'd like, so I draw my illustrations in reverse, flip them digitally, have them printed, and then color them in by hand. The result is basically an "artist's print". I only make one of each. These were watercolor, but I've recently discovered gouache, so keep an eye out for future pieces that incorporate that.

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.

This vampire is afraid of heights! He was done in ink wash, ballpoint, and white gel pen in my sketchbook.

My husband LOVES the Baby Spider.

Oh men, launching their phallic-shaped objects into the world behind. TYPICAL.

I'm working on a series of childhood stuffed animals versus child monsters (i.e. the safety of home vs the real world and its bullies). I haven't done the monsters yet, but here are the stuffed animals. I drew them from memory as opposed to referencing what Cheer Bear and Rainbow Brite's dog looked like. I looked after. I didn't get them quite right. That's OK; I think the wonkiness adds to the charm. These are drawn in reverse for a woodcut effect, then scanned and printed and gone over with gouache and watercolor.

Have you ever felt like you were scratching at the surface of a breakthrough? I'm in the middle of what might be something major or might be nothing at all.

"If I die, I'm taking you with me," Ebineezer whispered into Slasher's gaping, drooling maw. The explosion was heard for miles around.

Here's the second set! I hope you enjoyed this voyage with me.

This fellow is ready for his school portrait! Ballpoint, ink wash, watercolor, and white gel pen in my sketchbook.

"Sorry, friends, but I'm gonna go explore the world. Bye."
