Hmmm... well, I definitely played while doing this.

New Grey Pen

Some stuff with the new gray pen. I like it best on its own so far. This gray seems an odd match-up with my normal black pen. The black is a bit to aggressive or something, but, more experiments to follow.

Small Things

A scanner bed full of small doodles and sketches.

Life Drawing

Cooper's Coffee

Over the next few days I may try to post some sketchbook pages. Here's one.

Caldera Public House

Just another sketch that I did about a week ago. The lighting in all night time restaurants and pubs is always the same amber glint. I end up looking around for a something to draw, and after getting busted by the only interesting looking people, I usually settle for a fixture of some type.

Continued from before

This is a page that I already posted once, but have sketched on a bit more lately... It is likely that over the coming weeks it will become crowded then over used and finally, after it has lost all charm, I'll tuck it away.

Feet (in shoe)

A couple of shoe sketches from a couple of weeks ago... this is how delayed I have been at uploading my stuff.

Kai

This is a painting of friend that still may be in progress.

Bookshelf Door

I'm now in Portland getting settled in to the new location and starting to work more. I've been painting and sketching daily and doing a bit of writing. I now see Mike much more than previously and recently enjoyed an amiable arrival and amusing antics from an artist also acknowledged as Awkward Autumn. I'm still building my initial impressions of the new area though... more to come.

Etsy

So… I haven’t been completely inactive… This week I decided to get a little craft oriented and make some earrings. I’ve posted a few pairs on etsy. Here is the address to check out the whole lot.

Oregon Swamp Crab

The Oregon Swamp Crab....until otherwise identified. Invasive species or native terror? Most likely my conceived image of this monster is very close to reality.

Aspirations of Being a Gentleman Naturalist take 2

Fossil hunting on the coast...sort of. In all events, I was able to work another watercolor drawing into my new mini sketchbook.

Here's another in the series from my first posting. This has just a bit of work left to do... nearly done.
