Sketchbook: Chimera Doodles 3
Now that I have a cool Vest of Holding to don whenever I leave the house, I've taken to carrying some art supplies with me (in addition to my everyday carry stuff, emergency stuff, survival stuff...). This has lead to a much needed return to sketching when I'm out and about waiting for things to

Willy McEyeballs
Here's the finished Willy McEyeballs digital painting. This started as a simple sketch in my moleskin sketchbook, a completely random drawing that took shape as I worked on it. When it was done, I thought Willy and his buddy, Sherman, looked kind of fun and deserving of a full digital painting. Along the way, my
Polar Chimera
I've had griffons and chimeras on the brain recently, there's the beginnings of a project tumbling around in my brain related to those dreams. I thought it would be fun to come up with my own variants of such creatures, perhaps using different environments for driving their creations. This sketch would be a griffon/chimera that
Plunger Monkey on Sepia Paper
So my wife spoiled me with some new art stuff for my birthday. Among other things, she gave me greyscale and sepia paper sketchbooks, some Copic Multiliners, and some white Gellyroll pens. Of course the first thing I drew was a PMD portrait. The paper is fun to work on, saves me the time and
Split Rock and Birch Tree
My most successful sketch with the new Copic markers and Micron pens so far. This lovely scene is just down the hill, near our duck house. There's a stream just behind the rock and tree, the forest is on the other side of it. There were moments where I felt I channeled Bill Watterson just
Corner of the Carriage House
Playing around with my new warm greyscale Copic markers and some Micron pens, actually getting outside to do some observational drawing. This is the corner of our carriage house, it is very weathered (and in need of repair) with lots of nice textures going on. I'm still getting the feel for the markers (and the
Tree Stump/Post
I finally got outside and played around with some new art toys. This is an old tree stump used as a fence post by the previous owner of my house. It's got some interesting character to it, as well as some nice textures. I'm actually kind of surprised it hasn't completely rotted away, it's been
Plunger Monkey Graduation Card for “Jack”
One of my cousins, who isn't supposed to be as old as he is now, recently graduated from college. Naturally, this called for a custom PMD congratulations card. He's wearing a cap and gown (the only way PMD can) and presenting "Jack" (that's my cousin's nickname, given to him by his sister, and it is
Photo Comic 1: Toby vs Vader Studio Stuff Update
After a nearly two week drought of site updates, I decided to put together this fun little web comic/Studio Stuff entry. I learned some new tricks and had a lot of fun while making excuses for my absence. It was time consuming, but worth it.
Table and Rock sketch
I recently found myself at a local park without my kids (they were with mom selling popcorn for scouts or something), so I took the brief quiet time to bust out my sketch book, pens, and greyscale markers and do a little drawing from life, something I've been wanting to get back into for a
Please let me know what you think, it makes my brain happy.
