sketchbook

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.

There’s a carnival going on inside my head.

Seemingly trapped indoors and inside your head indefinitely, the possibility of living a normal life after COVID seems like a fevered dream. Still one of my favourite drawings from 2020 and a technique breakthrough. Ballpoint Pen on Archival 8.5" x 11" paper

The one subject that I don’t like to draw, so I have to force myself to draw them. Whenever I do draw them, they end up looking weird.

Based off a broken statue, my proportions are a bit funky but nice to see practice paying off, no way could I have drawn this last year :)

This panda wants to go fishing. 5"x7" ink and watercolor on Strathmore mixed media paper.

After heavy snowing small streams at Käylä rapid in Kuusamo looks a fascinating subject

Man, I’ve been random lately. I think my mind’s eye sees stuff that normal people don’t. That might make me abnormal. I’m kinda comfortable with that. Guess who’s going to be watching some Clint Eastwood tonight?

Oodles of doodles of my penguin pals…

I would have to say that my headphones are my constant companion. Music drives my working day.

Imagining a better future in the time of COVID isolation seems like a fevered dream. Bic4 Ballpoint Pen, Sanrio Novelty 10 Colour Ballpoint Pen on Archival 8.5" x 11" paper

Sharpie pattern doodle in a Moleskine sketchbook.

Done first using pencil and then added color in Photoshop. Angel Ganev's challenge on Instagram.

daydreaming to have these kind unique botanical jugs or vas in my own home

I doodled the cover of this sketchbook almost 2 years ago, and I'm dying to give it a second shot! To be continued...

A Monster made of monster doodles

Moleskine Doodle - September 2015

Some crazy Moleskine doodles for the day. I haven’t been doing enough of these and really need to kick my butt harder. Not sure why because it’s so dang enjoyable.

made with gel ink pen for a future art book about mediterranean way of life. A bit different in the colors choice this time

… for me right now.

Bic4 Ballpoint Pen, Sanrio Novelty 10 Colour Ballpoint Pen on Archival 8.5" x 11" paper. A breakdown of the Bic4 pen and No-name 10 colour pen layering that I’ve used. Drawing in a single direction instead of using back-and-forth movement alleviates some of the blotching that happens when using ballpoint pens. The back-and-forth method usually deposits the gunk that builds up on the tip of the ballpoint, smearing them in unexpected and unfortunate places on the drawing. When using the back-and-forth method, I usually have a napkin handy in order to clean the tip of the pen. Model: Meadhbh (Maeve)

A few of my sketchbooks, combing through some older concepts.
