Pollenation

Here's a new drawing I just finished up. Going through my old sketchbooks made me pick up a ball point pen which used to be my pen of choice. Now I prefer rollerball tips which behave a little more consistently. I used a pen my father in law made on his lathe which is good for writing but feels a little weird to draw with. But having a few small obstacles like that forces an element of unpredictability into the process which is nice. As has been my usual practice of late, all color was done digitally so the original is black and white only and can be viewed on our flickr page if you click on the image.

Old School #5 - The Beast with Yoda

This is yet another whacked out drawing from my old high school sketch book. I was definitely into the abstract surreal stream of consciousness doodling at the time. Can you find the hidden Yoda?

Ols School #4 - Shaman

Continuing this theme of old sketches pulled my sketchbook from high school, circa 1993.

Old School #3 - Oculous

Another little sketch from my old high school sketch book circa 1993.

Old School #3 - Mesa Verde's Mad

Here is another drawing from my old high school sketch book circa 1993. If you click on the picture you can see a larger version on flickr as a lot of the detail get's lost at this small blog size.

Old School #2 - Cuvicle

Another one from my old sketchbook circa 1993, my senior year in high school.

Old School #1 - Note to Self

I pulled out some old sketchbooks from high school when my friend Ian told me about a call for submissions for an art show he thought I was up my alley. So I started scanning in old drawings to archive them as the books are getting old and paper is yellowing.

This is one of my favorites from this book. I'll be posting a bunch more over the next couple weeks too so stay tuned.

This is an older drawing I did many years ago when I was working at a small sign shop. I often had lots of free time on my hands and drew this over the course of a week or so during downtime.

This is a style I developed in my high school years. An abstract psychedelic meandering of sorts. Working to expose the organic designs lurking beneath the surface of the paper.
I digitally edited the color, flipping it from the original. The original was blue and black ball point on white paper. Maybe I'll post it too if I can find it :)
