Jim Bradshaw's Faves

Some new analog work. Been using Procreate too much :)

my entry for jh stillworks spirit of Wyoming contest. one of 8 finalists.

Literal drawings of funny food names.

Grungy doodle of the day. I felt inspired to do something smudgy and decorative and colorful.

The 3x3 Illustration Annual I was recently chosen to be in, inspired this recent doodle. Fireworks went off in my head and then spilled out on this Moleskine page.

A page from my sketchbook: Watercolor, ink, and acrylic paint.

Ice Dream. There’s some strange references going on in this one. If I don’t explain it won’t come together. Back in my day the Europe 72 3 record Dead live album had a crazy kid on the back cover smashing a cone on his head. Later an ice cream truck company called Weaser ripped off that art and would visit my mid Jersey neighborhood daily. Google it if you care. Flash forward to 2019. The ice cream truck that hits my neighborhood EVERY DAYS has a loud obnoxious song and no Greatful Dead connections. It drives me out of my mind so here is the result. I always try to turn my pain into gain. What a long strange explanation it’s been.

the chesnut tree (‘Kastanie’), that gave name to this pub, or, more precise, the substitute, that was planted some 20 years ago, after the old tree fell in a storm. quite big already

Dropping bombs on people's moms... All because he's mad that his own mom named him "Tom." He overreacted but there's more to explain, though- Keep in mind the fact that his last name is "Aito."

Inky Poppy: ink and watercolour

Done on the iPad using procreate. Therapeutic meditative doodling.

This was a morning doodle that took me into the afternoon. It’s so hard to stop!

The Charminar was built in 1591, part of it is a mosque

I was gifted a pad of Yupo watercolor paper. The color vibrancy is unreal! Definitely a learning curb but the results are so fun. Plus this got me painting again. Working digital is such an easy fall back, but nothing beats a brush to paper.

This is how I eat sushi
