  • Inktober Day 1

    I am going to try and complete the Inktober challenge this year. So it’ll be one ink drawing a day for the month of October.  The people or person, I think its one person, have come up with prompts for everyday. My plan is to follow the prompts, but put a Halloween spin on them.…

  • A couple of things I’ve done

    Here are a couple of things I’ve worked on in the last  month. The first is a sunset picture I took, and used for the Cradle project. The second is the view from where I was sitting on beach, on a rare I was able to get away from my shit job and go on…

It’s a completely different animal than watercolor. A goal for next year is to definitely work more in oils. Hopefully there will be one more…
