Faster than his shadow...

I felt like drawing birdhouses and this came out in my large Moleskine.

I don't know why, but I had to make yellow buildings. I wish I had more time on this, but I took it as far as I could and hit submit with 1 to 2 minutes to spare. Why do I do that to myself? Anyway, I hope you enjoy.

Poor little sapling that was in our drive. I pulled it and the roots were so beautiful that I had to draw them.

Fountain pen and DeAtramentis ink in my moleskine. The complete frame was posted a few days ago.

Pen and watercolour in my moleskine. As some of you are on your phone, I thought a detail shot might be helpful.

This is a recent portrait painting I did as a demo for my electronic illustration class.

Psycho Bob by Barrie J Davies 2019, Mixed media on canvas, 60cm x 80cm, Unframed.

Went to see Billy Strings Band live in Philly. Music inspires me so much. Although you might not like bluegrass, it's worth checking these guys out. Great jamming, musicians and show. Anyway even if you hate bluegrass, I hope you like the art that came out of it. I also included the original sketch/doodle. Enjoy. BTW: the song is "While I'm Waiting Here".

We live in such a busy world. Everyone’s walking in a fast pace. But I think it’s okay to stop for a moment and breathe.

Personal challenge to draw 100 pups.

Mixed media. Acrylic, pencil, digital. This is a piece from the book “Mail Me Art - Medium Without A Message” by @littlechimpsociety. I think it was the second call for entries/book.There are now 4 books filled with awesome art drawn and painted on outsides of envelopes and packages by artists all over the world who then mailed them to the UK totally exposed to the postal service. The original was all analog. I brought this into Procreate and reworked it. I may do more when I get a chance but I’m pretty satisfied with it now.

My 9 year old Boston Terrier, Annabelle is a bright light in my life and she shows up in my work often. Best Christmas gift EVER!!!
