Thanks @davidterrill_kc ... I actually did a whole series of these hand-drawn analog cameras back in 2008 and featured them in a gallery show during Art Basel Miami. I'll dig around and maybe post a few more.
@jimbradshaw Thanks bud, for so long I fought my untrained hand and perspective, but I'm slowly learning it's maybe what defines my work. The process of defining your own personal style is such a treacherous and exhausting path of self-doubt. Well, at least for me it was and still is.
I remember being there with my style development. It was a long road. I am still my own worst critic. It drives my wife crazy and sometimes me as well. I can get so stoked when finishing a piece. Other times I stroll through my stuff and yawn. Ah, the agony and ecstasy of being an artist.
From post-it note to canvas. Quarantine life has got me taking some of my old doodles and turning them into paintings.

I dug up this rock while hiking the Negev desert in Israel last year. It’s sharp and kinda chalky and it feels like it has stories to tell when you look deep into its lines and layers.

I mailed this improvised, hand-drawn envelope out to a random Instagram follower last week. I'll be doing more of them so follow me @doodlers and let's be friends.

I could really see these illustrations on ceramics/porcelain as a brooch for women.

@Flyingwall Ha! That's a cool idea.

The Polaroid would make a great t shirt illustration

@Rocketman2020 Thanks for the suggestion! Maybe I'll do that one day.
