Terrapin Space Station

This was my last creation of 2021. ‘Terrapin Space Station’. This originally wasn’t going to be set in space, rather an island city with the turtle partially submerged. But after playing with some water/color overlays I wasn’t happy with that direction. The city in a protective bubble was the next thought, and after that we might as well be partying […]

That’s CAPTAIN Fuddy Duddy to you!

My friend Ken recently gave a family member a nickname… Fuddy Duddy. Initially, he didn’t like it, but after it got around town it started to grow on them. He had one request though, that it be modified to Captain Fuddy Duddy. Hence the Captian Crunch character looking grumpy with FD on the hat. Here is the shading portion of […]

I’ve learned that too thick of photo emulsion isn’t a good thing. I’ve learned to take the lamp cover off of my 500w work light. I’ve learned that too much […]

Zen Color Variations

I wanted to illustrate a method I recently have been using to create numerous color variations. I sketch, ink the linework and then shade it with grays. In Photoshop you can then apply a gradient adjustment layer. This applies your choice of gradient across the spectrum. This is me flipping through the options I currently have loaded. I haven’t uploaded […]

Mandala Shading (WIP)

Just an update on my latest Mandala. Throwing some shading in below the line work. Work in progress, but needed to take a break. Why not upload a progress shot so all can enjoy.

Another Mandala

This is my favorite type of escape. It’s easy mindless, or mind clearing, art. I haven’t posted in a while and just thought I would share a screen shot and a short video clip of the final strokes. I need to capture more videos while working digitally. I think it would be fun to post on youtube. More to follow […]
