A few fun studies from musician promo shots and personal photos, done in watercolour and pen:

I’ve been continuing doing studies in Procreate, and have been saving process videos more and more – it’s really neat to see how paintings change over the course of me working on them.

When Ryan asked for a quick proof of concept sketch of a curving tube world with a whimsical, pastoral feel, I was happy to oblige! Shoutout to the beautiful O’Neill Cylinder concepts that NASA artist painted in the 60s and 70s for being very helpful in how to visually sell the concept.
Art owned by Ryan Khan.

Herders and their stagmoose, dramatic geology, and a landscape strewn with the remains of history. Loose sketch concept.

I’ve been trying to nurse a sketchbook habit back into existence this year, and one of the things I desperately miss is a place where I can share drawings as ideas and not as achievements.

Took some photos of my fav pen right now, the Platinum desk fountain pen!
It’s fun to sketch and to write with – I’ve been taking work notes with it and also doodling a fair bit recently. I’m going to do a test run of inking a simple short comic with it and I will certainly let the internet know how it goes.
I think getting Extremely Into Watercolour has set a precedent where I am now bringing a connoisseur attitude to all of my art supplies, which can definitely get expensive, but this pen is, like, $15~? Not pricey, and when I get around to getting an ink converter and some bulk ink for it I will have a very affordable drawing tool indeed.
They also make a pigment ink for it – carbon ink – in cartridge form, and I’m curious to try it! But I legit might buy a second pen so if I do really fuck up the nib, I don’t deprive myself of my favourite drawing tool for any length of time.
The last time I got so attached to a particular tool like this was when I picked up a turned antler mechanical pencil in Rocky Harbour, NFLD, when we visited Gros Morne National Park. It took a .07 lead and had a wonderful weight and feel as well as the fond memories attached to it, and I think I dropped it in a cab back in 2018 and lost it for good.
Related, if anyone knows someone who sells turned antler mechanical pencils please let me know.

I took a few friends to a rug tufting workshop for my birthday!
We brought our own designs, and I spent some time earlier in the week making mine more and more simple. It was still definitely way too ambitious, but I had a lot of fun making it and would love to try again on a bigger rug with more time in future!
