black sharpie on paper

Calbayog City 2024

Let me show you something cool.

Of all my artwork my 8 year old son likes this style the most. He's also an artist and my biggest critic so in the spirit of playing to the audience I've starting a new one (pictured above) just for him. I'm a few hours into it and it looks pretty good so far. Adding the color takes some time and a lot of thinking so this piece won't be done for a while but in the mean I ike the mosaic just on its own.

Let me show you something cool. Look what happens to this drawing if you inverse the colors and show it next to it's own inverted image. Click to expand.

I wish I could make a big poster of that.

LIFE

Eternity can never be earned. It must be accepted.

doodle edition

My art, really, arose from my doodlings during class as a boy. I mean seriously, what else are you supposed to do during those lectures. And you have a pen in your hand..

Later I doodled at work. Same game, different decade.

So here are some doodles I made at work. They were all drawn with whatever pen I was using that day on whatever paper I had in front of me.

I might have more lying around. I'll look in the closets..

My 5 yo daughter asked for a drawing with pink in it so I drew this. She says she likes it.

My brother, on the other hand, said he liked it more when it was unfinished and still had some white areas.

Maybe..

Luckily I took an in progress photo.

Time for coffee.

When my drawings aren't talking to me I draw a face and meet someone new.

Jasmine, my five year old daughter, says it looks like Kermit the Frog.

Maybe...

Snails

pen drawings

Los Angeles 2017-2018

Do snails dream? And if snails dream, of what do they dream?

Do snails dream of wet clover and fresh lettuce?

Do adolescent snails have wet dreams and leave little snail nuts on the morning grass?

So cute.

This drawing came out of nowhere. Like a mystical gift, one day it just happened.

A blue, so long ago

colored pencil and black sharpie

Calbayog City 2024

The Philippine Sea is a deep almost violet blue.

It came to me in a dream once.

And now I'm here.

But I'm not there.

And isn't that where I've always been?

This drawing is pretty much done, but it's not done.

In any case, I've moved on to the next piece.

Write that on my tombstone.

I drew this this morning.

It's ugly and it's beautiful.
