swings together


this little scene was sketched/colored while sitting on a playground structure with grimm the dog, enjoying the sun and trying to ignore the quizzical stares of children and their families.   if only i was small enough to fit in those swings...colored pencil + pen.

forest friend




this is a portrait of one of my all-time favorite boys, drawn from a happy photo taken several years ago.  back when we were neighbors, we would spend countless hours eating expensive chicken and sizing up fashion designers on reality tv.  i have never personally seen him wear a bird's nest, but i think he looks quite dashing.  colored pencil + sharpie on butcher paper.

puck thinking


sometimes i draw portraits of people in pen that don't necessarily look like them, but turn out fun in other ways.  this is a prime example:  pretty girl turned hairy woodland sprite/ werewolf.  with a bird's nest hat.  micro pen + colored pencil.

purple (rain)


i imagine that PRINCE would appreciate this doodle.  sharpie.

back o' doodle


sometimes i ab·sent·mind·ed·ly draw on the back of things.  pen + colored pencil.

the lost post (carelessly unpublished): blue-prints


i have only a vague recollection of drawing/ writing this, but this is what my former self had to say about it, before my former self forgot to publish it:  "sharpies really like to leave their mark.  permanently.  and on any surface they can get a hold of.  here's a single sharpie doodle sequence:  original, back, and next page print.  3 4 the price of 1 = sharpie L-U-V!"

tomahawk dreams



a remnant of summer.  i have no recollection of when or why i drew this, but i must have been dreaming of tomahawks.  pen.

from trip to trip


started on an airplane and finished in a cubicle.  i swear i'm not on drugs.  pen + colored pencil.
