Dec. #2 - Red Sweater

Sketching in a cafe, playing with different styles and trying to feel out what type of lines feel "right" to make. What makes my stuff look mine?

I wish I could just draw all day long...

Dec. #1 - Salon Bonsai

Sketched my stylist's bonsai in her salon while waiting for my hair to bleach a couple of weekends ago. I just colored it now, moments before Ico fell asleep on my sketchbook.

Took a 2 week break from posting, half of which was spent in Houston, then driving down through Acadian Bayou Country to New Orleans. But now it's time to get back to it - and I'm going to be ambitious and aim for 20 posts to close out the year. Wish me luck!

Garden of Versaille

I've never been, but supposedly there is a spot away from the main bustle where you can rent a rowboat.

Mermaid

Ooooh got a new brush pen...love it. Hoping it will jolt me out of a slow month creatively. In the meantime, have some bewbs.

With her fins and long green tail
Esmerelda swam off to fetch the mail.
On the way back, she took a chance
and decided to prance a footless dance.

Mushroom Umbrella

When it rains on Professor Nibbles
He grabs a shroom and skips the puddles
From the beginning and over the middles
Because rain his brains and hands befuddles.

Albino Boar Guy

Taylor got a birthday clip

and a new boxing gym membership.

He hit the bags every day

dropped the bacon, and hey! 

Now he's less pork and more ripped.

Inktober #11

"If you spend too much time thinking about a thing, you'll never get it done. Make at least one definite move daily towards your goal." - Bruce Lee

Ah, the creation story behind this blog. Good intentions are just that; without moving into action, intentions are reduced to time thinking about a thing, never bearing the fruit of a marriage with effort.

The ol' Wacom has been collecting some serious dust this month. I have totally fallen back in love with pen and paper...shall I continue into Inkvember? Inksgiving?

Inktober #10

Why are there no good artichoke jokes on the internet? If you know any, please share.

There were referenced off of a photo I took on the side of the road in Napa this past summer. Made it to #10! I now consider my first Inktober a success.

Inktober #9

Sometimes it works, sometimes not.

Inktober #8

Inky quick mountain doodle of an elk grazing at the bottom of the Yosemite Valley before bed.

Inktober #7

Although I love it seeing brush pen work, I don't get it at all...shit is hard to control. I'd rather scratch away with my fine-tipped microns or these Hi-Tec-C's that I've been loving this month. At least it was a good experiment. :P

Inktober #6

Lieutenant Birdthalemew von Vogelsang IV
reported for duty and headed up north
through desert dunes and sandy storms
he flew not by plane
but instead feathered forms.

Inktober #5

Sitting in her invisible chair
the Peacock Goddess didn't care
enough to put on any pants
all she needed were heels to dance.
